IMPORTS OF WOOL
GERMANY NOT PROHIBITING.
THE ARTIFICIAL ARTICLE.
(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) Berlin, June 7.
At the Wool Conference, Hans Croon read a paper on the importance of artificial fibre. He said Germany had no intention, if she could help it, of renouncing imports of natural wool infavour of any synthetic fibre, but such material would be of great advantage in making the textile industry more independent of natural forces. It would be easier to standardize the quantity and quality than in the case of natural material; also it would permanently relieve the foreign exchange position in industrial countries poor in raw material. German textile manufacturers liked the natural raw material and were glad to be friendly with the producer. Their idea was to expand factory programmes by the introduction of 'synthetic materials, byt not to restrict natural materials. Germany s efforts were not directed at producing substitutes as in war-time, but at a high quality fibre for which a public demand would have to be created.
