Wool Marketing
Sir.—Professor Philpott would have our Welfare State run on an even more bureaucratic system by supporting the wool marketing board The Wool Commission already proving to be a selling (ailure the more it announces policy changes, has proved that boards are not always successful. The wool trade has no place for economists who lack experience of trading, types, yields, microns, and custom ers’ requirements. The present free marketing system should remain free. Econo mists' theories will not work as substitutes to trading experience. The auction system deals fairly and freely with overseas bids. Do we have to finance yet another board for which Professor Philpott hopes? Those who would control such a board have shown us the methods they would employ by the statements they have made over the last three months. —Yours, etc.. W.A.W.H. April 24, 1968.
