CHINESE WOOL BUYER
INVESTIGATIONS IN NEW ZEALAND
An interesting personality, speaking fluent English, with a ready appreciation of the humorous, bespectacled like all studious Chinese, is Mr. Harold F. Yuan, representing the . Oriental Wool Manufacturers Ltd., Tientsin, China, who arrived by the Awatea from Sydney today. It has taken him no more than some nine days, in actual travelling time, to come from China, as he flew from Hankow to Sydney.
"I have come out to buy wool for China," said' Mr. Yuan. "I am one of the first Chinese buyers to visit New Zealand. I have already bought some wool in Australia on this trip, but so far as New Zealand is concerned it is really a trip of investigation. Woollen mills are going up in many places in China. You see, we have a population of some 400,000,000, and we must do something about it. Already we produce wool in China, but it is mostly carpet wool. We export a good deal to America. The wool I am buying now, however, is for clothing and other purposes. There is a good market for it in China."
