WOOL’S LOST FAVOUR
SITUATION BEGINNING TO CHANGE ENCOURAGEMENT IN EUROPE Reed. 9.35 a.m. LONDON, Friday. At the Bradford Lord Mayor’s luncheon to wool conference delegates, M. Maurice Dubrulle, a French delegate, said the woolgrowers of Australia, New Zealand, the Cape, and South Africa had drawn his attention to the extent of the publicity given to artificial silk and wool, which caught the public eye, to the detriment of natural wool, so it was not astonishing that some woolgrowers were considering the advisability of killing their flocks and adapting their properties to agricultural purposes. It was undeniable that silk had displaced wool in the realm of feminine clothing, but the situation was beginning to readjust itself. It was being realised that wool, as a natural animal fibre, possessed inherent characteristics which were lacking in artificial substitutes. There were indications that wool was returning to favour. Leading creators of fashion in Paris and other capitals were giving the revival every encouragement.
