AUSTRALIAN LEVY. COMBATING SUBSTITUTES. WIDE CAMPAIGN CONTEMPLATED. ITnlted Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright. (Received May 8. 3.15 p.m.) CANBERRA, May 8. The Federal Government has decided to impose a sales tax of not more than one shilling per bale on wool, to provide a research and publicity fund. The chief purpose of the fund will be to combat the menace in the overseas markets of artificial wool and wool substitutes. In making the announcement the Federal Prime Minister. Mr J. A. Lyons, said for a beginning the maximum ol one shilling would not be collected; it might possibly be as low as sixpence. The Government proposes to collect the levy from the growers and pay it over to accredited representatives of the industry. A wool research and publicity committee will be set up and will work in association with similar organisations *n New Zealand, South Africa and the United Kingdom.
