German Need of Wool
IDIPORTATION DIFFICULTY LONDON, July 25. According to the Berlin correspondent of the Australian Associated Press, German official figures reveal that although home-produced staple fibre and rayon respectively increased during live years from 1000 to 95,000 tons, and from 27,000 to 55,000 tons, Germany had to import 693,000 tons of fibres during 1937. Of this quantity 64,000 tons was used. Although staple fibre replaces wool, it is displacing cotton to a far greater extent. It is officially admitted that the need for raw wool is greater than ever, but that a lack of foreign exchange prevents its importation.
