SYNTHETIC MATERIALS.
CREATING A DEMAND. EFFORTS BY GERMANY. EXPANDING PROGRAMMES. United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright (Received June 8, 1.1 a.m.) BERLIN, June 7. At the wool conference Herr Hans Croon read a paper ’On the Importance of artificial fibre. He said Germany had no intention, if it can help it, of renouncing imports of natural wool in favour of any synthetic fibre, but such material would be of great advantage in making the textile indiistry more independent of natural forces. It would be easier to standardise quantity and quality than in the case of natural material, and would also permanently relieve the foreign exchange position in industrial countries poor in .raw material. The German textile manufacturers liked natural raw material, and were glad to be friendly with the producers. Their idea was to expand factory programmes by the introduction of synthetic materials, but 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.
