Synthetic Fibres Threat To Wool Industry Officially Acknowledged
FROM H. KING WOOD
Sydney, Mar. 6.
With the introduction into the Federal Parliament last week of a bill styled, in the quaint way of politicians, the Wool Use Promotion Bill, Canberra has at last acknowledged that it recognises in synthetic fibres a serious threat to the wool industry.
Minister for Commerce Mr McEwen told the House that the Government for sometime had viewed with concern the growing produc- tion of synthetics in other countries and the claims made by their manu- facturers.
"Events of the last two years have underlined the extreme dependence of the economy of Australia on the fortumes of the wool industry," he said.
"And we must be realistic. We must realise that if wool is to meet the challenge of synthetics it is going to cost money. It is going to require a sound organisation and the best publicity. Every effort must be made to improve wool as a fibre by research."
There are other signs, too,liament last weekend. He was that the industry is waking up speaking on, two bills which to the fact that this unpleasant van Ashing by foreign fleets in outsider synthetles cannot any Australian Constal waters and lunger be treated as a joke that waters surrounding Australian is i ruthier bad taste.
