WOOL INDUSTRY
RESEARCH WORK PRIME MINISTER’S INTEREST. (Supplied and released by New Zealand Government). (Received this day at 10.25 a.m.) LONDON, June 26. A particularly interesting feature of the Prime Minister’s visit to the wool industries research station at Torridon, Leeds was extensive exhibits of yarn and unmanufactured materials, illustrating a new process for the manufacture of unshrinkable wool fabrics. This process developed at Torridon, is being thoroughly tried out on a considerable scale to explore its commercial possibilities, and if successful, will be of great value both to producers and manufacturers. Another new fabric for upholstering motor cars has great possibilities, samples of which are being sent to New Zealand.
The question of initiating a wool publicity campaign was discussed at length with wool experts. The subjects is arousing interest particularly in view of the American compaign now in progress. The general view appears to be that the time has arrived when serious consideration should be given to the formulation of a plan of action.
