WOOL IMPORTS EMBARGO

Efforts of Leith Ross Mission to Ease Position GOVERNMENT PESSIMISTIC GERMANY’S RESTRICTION (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Copyright) .Received 11 a.m. to-day. LONDON, Sept. 17. It is understood that the Leith Ross mission is making a special effort to get Germany to ease the embargo on wool imports, but Government circles are pessimistic. The Germans profess to be anxious to revive mutual trade, but nevertheless, the latest trade returns show that Germany’s actions are further restricting imports. At a meeting at Bradford the problems of trade with Germany, insofar as they affect the cotton, wool, textiles and coal exporting interests of the north, were considered. An influential deputation; « comprising fifty members, visited the Board of Trade and made a full statement of thenviews regarding outstanding commercial debts and current trade, and reprepresentatives of cotton, wool and yarn interests made it clear that they regarded an immediate settlement of existing debts as of paramount importance, and as an indispensable condition of a resumption of trade with Germany.
