TOBACCO SUPPLIES FOR CHRISTMAS
Reassuring Statement By Minister (P.A.) WELLINGTON, November 20. The Minister of Supply, Mr Sullivan, stated today concerning the supply of tobacco and cigarettes that any apprehension on the part of the public with regard to the possibility of a severe shortage of supplies for the Christmas period was not justified. The Minister said that production was such and distribution was so planned that in both December and January there would be available to retailers at least the same quantities that were distributed in November. It would be seen, therefore, that there was no need for undue alarm on the part of the public. Provided people purchased their immediate needs only, much difficulty would be avoided.
At the same time it should be known that all returned servicemen during their furlough of 90 days have access to supplies of tobacco through the various Defence Services canteens.
