SYNTHETIC WOOL
GERMANY'S INTENTIONS
SECURING STABILITY
(Received June 8, 1.10 p.m.)
BERLIN, June 7.
At the wool conference Herr Hans Croon read a paper on the importance of artificial fibre. He said Germany has no intention if she can help it of renouncing her imports of natural wool in favour of any synthetic fibre, but such material would be a great advantage in making- the textile industry more independent of natural forces. It would be easier to standardise quantity and quality than in the case of natural material.
It would also permanently relieve the foreign exchange position for industrial countries which were poor in raw material.
The German textile manufacturers liked the natural raw material, and were glad to be friendly with the producer. Their idea was to expand their factory programmes by the introduction of synthetic materials but not to restrict the use of natural materials.
Germany's efforts were not directed towards producing a substitute, as in wartime, but a high-quality fibre for which a public demand would have to be created.
