NOT A SUBSTITUTE
GERMANY’S WOOLSTRA Will Not Renounce Wool STILL LIKES NATURAL FIBRE (By Telegraph—Press Assu.—Copyright.) (Received 8, 11.45 a.m.) BERLIN, June 7. At the wool conference, Herr Croon read a paper on the importance of artificial fibre. He said Germany had no intention, if she could 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 industry more independent of natural forces. It would be easier to standardise quantity and quality than in the case of the natural material, and also permanently relieve the foreign exchange position in industrial countries poor in raw material. German textile manufacturers liked the natural raw material and were glad to be friendly with the producer. 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 a substitute, as in war time, but at a high-quality fibre for which a public demand would have to be created.
