WILL HOLD ITS OWN.

VIEWS OF MR H. M. CHRISTIE. AUCKLAND, Last night. “If the present organisation is supported, wool will hold its own high place as a textile fibre, despite the tremendous increase in the output of staple fibre. I am firmly of the opinion, however, that every effort must he made for the proper organisation of the wool industry, and to do away with the considerable waste and loss, especially at the producers’ end,” said Mr H. M. Christie, M.P. for Waipawa, and chairman of the New Zealand Wool Publicity and Research Committee, on , his return by the Rangitane to-night after attending a conference of the International Wool and Textile Organisation and meetings of its executive committee in London. The conference, Mr Christie stated, was attended by representatives of practically every European country, and of Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. It was considered to have been most successful. The amount of work which members of the International Wool Secretariat had accomplished in the short time since their appointment was surprising. The purpose of the organisation was to further the wool industry in its widest sense.
