An embargo on the export of wool to America is a serious menace to a large portion of Australia's greatest industry | and might mean a loss of over £lO,OOO.- 1 000 on this season’s clip, according to a deputation of Victorian woolgrowers which waited on the Premier of Victoria (Sir Alexander Peacock) the other day. It was stated that last season America purchased nearly one-third’ of the total wooj clip of Australia. The wool of South Africa was not subject to an embargo, and in consequence American buyers and ships were being diverted to that market. The Premier was asked to send a cable message to the Imperial Government urging it to withdraw the request to the Commonwealth Government that an embargo should be placed on shipments of wool to America. The woolgrowers had seen the Prime Minister (Mr. Hughes), who had cabled Home twice, but had, so far as they knew, received no reply. The Premier said he would' comply with the request pf the deputation, and would also consttit the Premiers of New South Wales and South Australia, who were in Melbourne, with a view to united action.
