JAPANESE NEED OF WOOL
ARTIFICIAL FIBRE FOUND UNSATISFACTORY SYDNEY, January 14. Mr J. Dunlop, a Dunedin business man, who has returned from a trip to the East, said: "Even if Australia had not signed a trade treaty with Japan, the Japanese would have been forced to purchase Australian wool." ■ • Mr Dunlop added that there was a feeling of alarm in Japan over the wool deadlock. There was much talk about an artificial fibre that might replace wool, but it had been found that when this fibre became damp it tore easily. Meanwhile valuable machinery equipped to handle fine-textured wool from Australia was idle or nearly idle.
