Wood Trade Faces Post-War Problem

The two post-war problems that are receiving most attention by the wool industry are the large accumulation of wool stocks own- ed by the Britlsh Government and the threat of increased competit- ion from the synthetic-ﬁbre indus- try, states Foreign Agriculture. By a recent Act of the Australian Commonwealth Parliamenha four- fold increase in the levy for the support of the Australian Wool Board has been authorized. The increased funds are to be expend- ed on research and advertising to maintain the position of wool ln the face of competition from syn- thetics.

As at June 30, 1945, stocks held by the United Kingdom as the re- sult of the purchase of the wool clips of New Zealand, Australia. and the Union of South Africa early in the war, amounted to u. bout three billion pounds in weight, or about the equivalent of two years‘ production in the Brit- ish Dominlons, In April, i945, rep- resentatives of the four Govern- me.nts met in London and agreed to methods to be followed in the. liquidation of these stocks.

Under the terms of the agree- ment, the four countries will form a joint organization to assume ownership of the wool. The nuc- tlon system for the sale of the new clips will be restored as early as possible and the surplus wool held by the organization will be sold in the same manner. Milli- mum prices. however, will be ﬂx- ed, below which surplus stocks will not be sold. At the same time, the organization will take over any ne_w wool not purchased on the auctions at prices as least

mum levels. The four countries will share all storage and market- inlZ expenses and any final profit

the stocks.

Because of the size of the surp- lus which the wool organization must dispose of it will be an im- portant factor In the wool mark- ets of the world for some years. The effect o! the organization on the world wool markets is greatly increased by the authortiy given it to place a floor under the pric- es of the British Dominion wool- which before the war constituted two-thirds of the total wool ‘ex- ports of all the surplus-wool-pro- duclng countries.

LONDON, Dec. ll-‘-(C P)—Lon-

don is getting ready to resume its old place as Britain's No. l . port after giving way during the war to the west coast gateways of Liverpool, Glasgow and Bristol. These were natural alternatives for the great flow of goods across the Atlantic while London's vast docklands were a target for the Luftwaffe. In fact, when great fires burned ln i910. some foreign observers said: "Lhe port of Lon- don isiflnished. it will never rise again." But they were wrong. The blitz destroyed one third of dockland’! total storage space of 0Y0 tons, tore up miles of railway lines and wrecked many of the largest cranes, but there now are abundant signs that the port Ia getting back into its old stride.

During the war 100,000,000 tons of shipping passed through Lon- don, a creditable figure under the circumstances but a big drop from pre-war standards. In i038 alone the figure was 62,000.000--l9,000,- 000 coastwlse and 48,000,000 for- eign, About 41000000 tons of merchandise was handled and the value of the oaprfs foreign trade was £600,000.
