MOTION WITHDRAWN
JAPANESE WOOL BUYING
"This motion is more or less a joke," said Sir Norman Kater, when it was moved at the twentieth annual conference of the Graziers' Association of New South Wales that the Federal Government should honour its promise that Australian wool growers would not lose Iby the withdrawal of Japanese buyers | from the wool market, and that I growers who sold wool before Japan's re-entry to the market should be paid a bonus of 10 per cent, on their returns. This motion, and one that the Australian Government should subsidise by 2d a pound growers who sold wool while the Japanese were off the market, were withdrawn. Some delegates said that the association would make itself a laughing stock if it adopted these proposals, and there was no chance of a subsidy or a bonus. It would be unwise thus to harass the Federal Government.
