ITALY'S WOOL IMPORTS
STATEMENT BY MR, LEWIS
HARCOURT.
(AUSTRALIAN-NEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) (Received August 16,. 8.20 a.m.)
LONDON, 15th August.
Replying to a question in the House of Commons, Mr. Lewis Harcourt stated that Italy's imports of greasy wool from all sources in 1915 showed an increase of 43,869 metric tons compared with 1913. Washed wool decreased by 1699 tons, and manufactured' wool decreased by 19,677 tons. If the greasy wool imports were reckoned in terms of washed wool, the net increase of imports would be under 10,000 tons of washed. The increase was largely due to the requirements of the Army. Italy's production of woollen materials in 1915 was considerably above normal, and the export of manufactured woollens to Prance increased. Inhere was no reason to believe that the control over the export to Switzerland had been ineffective.
