BRITISH FUEL SHORTAGE
The shortage of coal, gas and electricity in the United Kingdom was going to make the delivery of goods much more difficult, stated advice received by an Auckland importer from his London principals. “ Practically every factory has been at a standstill,” the letter says. •• of course, all of us in the trade have known for a long time that this situation was developing, but all the warnings anu appeals to the Government were >of no avail. Not until the position got really desperate did it think about taking some sort of action and, of course, when the Government takes action it is just panic. We hope they have learned their lessen this time and that it will not be lang before coal, gas, and electricity are again made available.”
