The Bitnation at present is tbat most of the businesses in Hawaii has stocl{-<br />
piled and increased Inventory contrar.v to their regular business procedure be-<br />
cause of the threatened maritime strike. Information obtained from various In-<br />
dustries and companies show that the normal Inventory would run about 30 to<br />
45 days. While many have added additional inventory because of the strike<br />
threat, many others have not been able to add to Inventory because of the West<br />
Coast container boycott occurring March 17 to April 7 of this year.<br />
Building and construction supplies have been Increased but much heavy, spe-<br />
cial order equipment is still on the West Coast and could hold up construction<br />
completion of various projects. Retailers may have shortages but depending on<br />
space availability, air freight could alleviate it. The retailers who have com-<br />
puter inventory systems and normally have a 30-day Inventory would be hard<br />
pressed to replenish stock on a timely basis.<br />
There will be shortages of feed. Although some feed Is shipped In from Aus-<br />
tralia, certain types of feed such as com, mllo and soybean are not available from<br />
Australia. There may be Inventory lasting for 30 to 45 days on Oahu but In-<br />
ventory on the neighbor islands may be nil, thereby creating a greater Impact on<br />
the neighbor islands than on Oahu. Some of the Independent feed companies may<br />
be severely affected since their normal Inventory has not been built up beyond<br />
two-weeks supply.<br />
With the sugar plantations harvesting and grinding cane and the pineapple<br />
companies at peak harvesting and canning of pineapple, problems of storage be-<br />
come critical. Bulk .sugar storage space would be used up within a short period.<br />
Supplies of tin plate and corrugated paper for pineapple canning is adequate but<br />
since ship space Is not available, the canned pineapple would have to be stored
