It is peculiarly interesting to note that the wool of South Africa and Australia, upon which Austria and Ger- many are practically dependent is particularly mentioned in this connee tion, because it disposes of the German contention that the Dominions will be in such need of resuming their trade in wool with the Central European Powers that they will refuse to enter any Economic Alliance of the Allies Private enterprise bas accomplished a good deal to supply those things for which we were dependent upon our foes before the war, and it is inconceivable that the Govern- ment should exnose, infant industries, now being carefully fostered, to the full blast: of unrestricted competition before they
