Australian Textile Industry. Only 2J- per cent, of Australia’s production of woollen and worsted textiles was being exported, apd this was to retain an interest in the Commonwealth’s overseas markets, said the Acting-Minister of Customs (Mr. J. J. Dedman). He termed as ridiculous a suggestion .that because these textiles were being exported, coupon rationing on similar goods in Australia should be lifted. Even if the small amount being exported was retained it would still be necessary to have coupon rationing, said the Minister. If only they could get some of the necessary female labour into the textile industry, it would be possible to see some daylight—Sydney, April .16.
