HOLDING BACK WOOL.
S'I‘ATEl\IEN'l‘ BY PRIME BIINISTER.
Local wool—brokers ‘have receivegl frmn the Pri-me Minister an announcernmir that all woo? clipped this season is subject to Government requisition, and that the woolgrowers who withhold such wool from sale to the Government are committing an offence, The following is the text of the announce‘ment which is signed by the Rt. Hon. W. F. Massey:——The Department has reason to believe that certain woolgrowers are holding back their wool under the impression _that it will be free from the Government requisition after 30th June, 1920, and available for private disposition. It is advistable, therefore, to state definitely, for ‘the information of all concerned, that [this is not so, and that wool clipped “and Wool produced at the freezing’ works on or before that date cannot be exported from New Zealand, and that its sale otherwise than to the Government will be an offence.” “The same position applies -to skins from stock slaughtered" (other than
those at freezin,“ works prior to 30th June, 1920)."
