Coming requirements of the
Army for wool look large. Be-
sides clothing for the soldiers in
France and at home a reserve
must be accumulated sufficient
to take care of any emergency.

civilian needs, but woolen suits
will not be cheap or plentiful
during the coming winter sea-

Wool stocks from abroad to
supplement the domestic supply
is restricted by shipping condi-
tions. The Shipping Boar d
states the movement of Argen-

The war service committee of
the National Association of
Woolen Manufacturers and the
American Association of Woolen
and Worsted Manufacturers con-
ferred with the War Industries
Board and representatives from
the Shipping Board, War Trade
Board, and Army and Navy over
difficulties in the wool supply
situation. The policy of the War
Industries Board is to regulate
prices and distribution when a
scarcity arises due to Govern

duty to make. May / not hope that
