Sec retary of the Export Development Group, Douglas Cox, declared that Federal Government controls and a complicated procedure for obtaining export licences had stopped many manufacturers from exporting goods. As a result, Australia's post-war export market to Asian countries had diminished badly.
"Since the war we have lost millions of pounds of export trade be- cause manufacturers have been robbed by red tape procedures of the in- centive to develop export markets,” he said.
"Before the war Australia | manage to get television beyond bullt a solid trade of £20-million the haggling stogo.
