WOOL OUTLOOK.

QUESTION OF CONTROL. YORKSHIRE PAPER’S CRITICISM By Cable—Press Association—Copyright Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. Received. Jan. 20, 10.50 p.m. LONDON, Jan. 19.

The Bradford correspondent of the “Yorkshire Post” lengthily draws attention to the baldness of the Wool Federation’s announcement turning down Sir John Higgins’s plan for wool control. The correspondent says the federation's annual report does not indicate what occurred on December 10. There was a conspiracy of silence at the annual meeting from which we should have expected the position would be made clear to the world’s wool users. All notes were destroyed at Sir Jobn Higgins’s request. He will make his own report in Australia. His version might not fit Bradford’s.

Naturally such secrecy creates controversies. Obviously Sir John Higgins proposes to further disturb the Australian wool trade, and it should have been Bradford’s business to throw light on what was in his mind.
