WOOL LYING IDLE IN DOMINIONS
Discussions To Be Held In London
(Rec. 11.5 p.m.) LONDON, April 9. Twenty-five Dominions’ wool experts, headed by Mr George Duncan, director of the Export Division of the New Zealand Marketing Board, are meeting Government officials in London next week to discuss what to do with the 13,000,000 bales of wool tied up in the Dominions because of the lack of shipping space to bring it to Britain and other manufacturing countries, says The Daily Express. There are about 4,000,000 tons of wool lying idle in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The experts are meeting to find a way of putting it into service to relieve the world clothing shortage. The paper points out that there are already about 2,000,000 tons of wool stored in Britain.
