WOOL SECRETARIAT
ESTABLISHED SHORTLY
IMPORTANT WORK AHEAD
(From "The Post's" Representative.) LONDON, May 5.
An authoritative estimate is that within the next two months the tripartite Secretariat should be established in London to represent the woolgrowing Dominions. Dr. Clunies Ross has already been selected for Australia. The name of the Soutl- African representative is expected shortly. The Secretariat will represent the wool-producing -organisations and not the respective Governments of the three countries, although the benevolent attitude of the litter is assured. The composition of the Wool Advisory Committee of six (two members from each Dominion) is also a matter of interest. This body will keep in touch with the Secretariat, and, although not possessed of executive power, will nevertheless exercise substantial influence on the progress of wool uses promotion. It is upon this Advisory Committee that those who look to the ultimate collaboration of the wool textile industry and the growers base their hopes. The Wool Secretariat is expected to engage in technical and biological research and to prepare data for the wool growers of their respective countries. In this work they will make important contacts with manufacturing and research interests in England as well as with that part of the industry in Scotland, Leicester, and the West of England which is not represented on the Wool Textile Delegation.
There is a difference of view as between the growers and the wool textile industry on how far-co-operation in developing the use of wool is practicable. If the work of the Secretariat is successful in its first sphere it may at least incline ears now closed to listen to further argument
Messrs. John Dunlop, of Seaward Downs, and Thomas Marr Timpany, of Woodlands, have been nominated for the seat on tho New Zealand Dairy Board rendered vacant by the statutory retirement of Mr. Dunlop. Nominations closed today and the poll is to close on Wednesday, June 23.
