SYNTHETIC FIBRE
AUSTRALIAN PLAN (9 a.m.) CANBERRA, July 28. "A synthetic fibre industry is being established in Australia,” said the Minister of Customs, Senator Keane, •meaking in the Senate. lie added that the local synthetic fibre industry would offer more opposition to fibre imports than to the wool industry. “It would be contrary to Government policy to place obstacles in the way of the establishment of any new industry which would make use of local raw materials and open up valuable avenues of employment.” he said. “The Government will not lose sight of the interests of the wool industry. Whatever is done in Australia, synthetic fibre has come to stay ,and will undoubtedly undergo tremendous expansion in the United States, Britain and other industrialised countries.”
