WOOL FOR AMERICA
LARGER IMPORTS WAR DEPARTMENT'S EDICT WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. (Received Nov. 7, at 10 p.m.) The War Department has opened the way for larger imports of wool by suspension of the requirement that only domestic wool should be used in military orders for clothing and blankets. It said that the domestic wool supply was unable to meet the abnormally large requirements of the defence programme in all grades of wool for military equipment, consequently the quartermaster general was authorised to accept;.bids 1 for material manufactured entirely of foreign wool or mixed foreign and domestic wools.
