WOOL FOR AMERICA
EARLY SUPPLY NEEDED. GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIONS. (United Press Association —Copyright.) WASHINGTON, November 30. The Australian Associated Press learns that so great a pressure has devolved on the Government from leading woolconsuming interests, due to the fear of wool “starvation” shortly, that the United States Ambassador in London (Mr Joseph Kennedy) lias been instructed to take up the question of the speedy release of portions of the Australian clip for the United States. A strong point made by certain Boston groups is that there is little hope of any Australian wool before March, but Australian interests have insisted that while possibly the peak wool flow is in March, there will be ample shipments earlier to relieve the shortage. Well-informed circles intimate that pressure to secure the immediate, release of the Australian' clip for the United States will 'serve little purpose since any but a carefully-conceived method Avili serve neither the buyer nor the seller.
Moreover it is believed that a clarifying announcement by Britain can be expected shortly.
