AUST. WOOL MARKETING
Govt. Support For Change (N.Z.P. A.-Reuter —Copy right! CANBERRA, April 7. The Australian wool industry was probably the only industry in the world which refused to put its own price on its own produce, the Acting Prime Minister, Mr J. McEwen said this week. He told the House of Representatives that the Government would support' any change in wool marketing requested by growers, subject to two conditions. These were that the Government would have to consider any. involvement in a new scheme by the Treasury, and the public interest. Mr McEwen was replying to Mr N. L. Beaton, the Labour member for Victoria, who asked whether a New Zealand Treasury official had said wool buyers were “ganging up” to lower wool prices. He asked whether buyers could “gang up” even more effectively to lower Australian prices under the present wool selling system.
