LONDON, October 6.

The "Yorkshire Poet," writing in connection Trith the Army Council's negotiations'to secure control of colonial wool, states that difficulties that have arisen may cause a modification of the whole plan. "It is~bbvious," says the "paper, ,f that the same scheme should be put into op-; eration in relation to all colonies, but hitherto it has been impossible to arrive at a common agreement.- It is unreasonable to expect that' Australia' and New Zealand.trill quietly submit to further restrictiona if South Africa retains the free market she. has possessed ever since the war commenced. "■ "There has -been severe criticism of South Africa's action in permitting unV restricted export If South Africa persists in a free export policy it is bound to react unfavourably" for us -in other wool growing, colonies."
