SHORTAGE LIKELY
OF CARS, TRUCKS
SYDNEY, Monday
Australia could expect a
greater shortage of cars and
trucks in the next 12 months because
of world rearmament, Mr.
G. A. W Laird, director and general
manager in Australia of the
Rootes Group, motor manufacturers,
said' to-day.
Mr. Laird said that the diver-
sion . of materials to defence
would have an increasingly severe
effect on car and truck sup-
plies."
Without a reduction in arma-
ments, which seems unlikely, we
i can predict a greater shortage of
cars in the next 12 months. he
