SCRAP IRON SUPPLIES
EMBARGO ON EXPORTS
NO CHANGE TN POLICY The statement that the Government has no intention of permitting the export of general scrap iron and steel was made by the Minister of Finance, the Hon. W. Nash, when reports were referred to him that British and Australian interests had endeavoured to purchase supplies now accumulating in the Dominion.
“We have not changed our policy in any way since the embargo was originally imposed,” said Mr. Nash, “although certain forms of scrap metal are allowed to be shipped under license.”
Asked whether it was correct, as has been reported, that the British Iron and Steel Federation had been refused permission to export 3000 tons of scrap from the Dominion, Mr. Nash replied that he had never heard of such an application. He had hoard, however, that Australian interests had been inquiring on the possibility of shipping away available supplies of scrap, but I had no reason to think that an application by them would be granted.
