LOCAL PRICE OF WOOL
NO SUBSIDY TO BE PAID TO GROWERS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. . “I am not prepared to give favourable consideration to the question of subsidising wool-growers in respect of the local price of wool,” said the Minister of Marketing, Mr Barclay, replying to an urgent question asked by Mr Sutherland (Opposition, Hauraki). The Minister had been asked if he would consider subsidising the wool-growers for the 15 per cent, lost on wool used locally. fi “Even if local wool remains stabilised,” said Mr Barclay, “the over-all increase to the industry will be 131 per cent., and in addition the community are already subsidising wool-growers in respect of fertiliser and other farm subsidies. To ask the community to give a further subsidy under these circumstances would be most unfair and 'would amount to obvious exploitation.”
