POST-WAR WOOL PROBLEM
MELBOURNE, August 27. Some arrangement similar to the lend-lease agreement would have to be introduced after the war to dispose of the accumulated stocks of wool, said Sir Dalziel Kelly, the retiring chairman of the Australian Wool Board, today. The countries impoverished by the war would be unable to bid at auction, and woolgrowers throughout the world* would be faced with large stocks accumulated through underconsumption in the war years. Sir Dalziel Kelly said there was a tendency to assume that Britain would always be willing to take the whole of Australia's wool production, but that could not be safely assumed. The threat of substitutes was as real as ever, and steps were being taken to improve the methods of manufacture and, at the same time, reduce the costs of. producing Australian wool.
