THE WOOL SITUATION 01" TIIE CANADIAN CO-OPERATIVE WOOL GROWERS Up t about the middle of Dec. 1939 1. .000 pounds of wool sold during spring and summer montrs up to Sept. 3rd, 1939. This is in keeping with an established policy of monthly selling whenever and wherever there is a. demand for wool. Prices were about in keep- ing with i938 values, and the salcs include oil Quebec and Mart- time consignments, about two thirds of the Ontario consignment and about one third of the west- ern. i.200,000 pounds sold after Sept 3rd to a wide coverage of Canadian mills-no sales were made for export after the declaration of war.

Then he refelred again to Hansard in reasserting that the Prime Minister declined to permit establishment in Canada of air training schools to train British pilots at British expense.

I am say- ing now that had we been in of- flee in the previous yeaws we doubtless would have done our ut- most to cut down armaments and military expenditures." Dr. Man- lon told his audience. "To which Mr. King should we listen?" he asked. Dr. Manion said he has been asking the Government- what it had clone with the $188,000,000 spent on defence from 1935 to the outbreak of war but Mr. King's re- E. ply was that the amount was $94,- 000,000. althoulrh at the some mo- mcnf.
