WOOL FOR AMERICA
“STARVATION” FEARS THE AUSTRALIAN CLIP WASHINGTON PRESSURE (Elec. Tel. Copyright —United Press Assn ) (Reed. Dec. 2. 9 a.m.) LONDON, Nov. 30. The Australian Associated Press learns that so great has been the pressure on the Government from leading wool-consuming interests due to the fear of wool “starvation shortly, that the United States Ambassador to Great Britain. Mr. J. PKennedy, has been instructed to take up the question of the speedy release of portions of the Australian clip for the United States. A strong point made bv certain Boston groups is that there is little hope of receiving any Australian wool before March, but Australian, interests have insisted that while possibly the peak of the wool flow will be in March, there will be ample shipments earlier to relieve the shortage. Well-informed circles intimate that pressure to secure an immediate release of the Australian clip for the United States would have little purpose, since any but a carefully conceived method would serve neither the buyer nor the seller. Moreover it is believed that a British clarifying announcement can be expected shortly.
