HUGE PROFITS ARE
MADE BY BRITAIN
Wool Spinners Charge That
ExOrbitant Rates Bring
in Big Revenue.

LONDON. Feb. est is estimated
by some wooden spinners that the
British government made $4,000
GEO from the sales Of Australian
wool last year and thus far in 1920
Replying to charges that both the
government and the Yorkshire spin
ners had made excessive profits, Sir
Arthur Goldhnch. chairman of the
wool council OF the ministry OF nu-
nitions told a representative of the
Evening Standard that IL was true
the government was reselling merino
and Cross-bre wool from Australia
and New Zealand at price very
much higher" than the basic price
at which it was purchased.
'It was clearly understood" he
said. that when the wool was no
longer needed for military purposes
II should be sold at market rates
and the dominions should receive
one half Of the profit. Australia and
New Zealand are clearly entitled &c
this.
The rise in wool is confined to
the more expensive qualities merino
ard fine cross bred. Medium and
low cros-bred woods are about the
same price as in 1915. calculated ir
British currency, but calculated in
Dutch and Scandinavian currency
the prices for such classes of wool
are considerably cheaper than they
were during the war. and almost the
same as they were six years ago
There has been a great run or
the finer classes OF wool. which are
now being consumed more rapidly
than they are grown. and a great
rise I'm price was natural and almost
inevitable"
Yorkshire spinners say that they
simply could not help making
profits "A spinner has nothing to
do in these days but sit STILL" said
ore, "and money rains in his lap"
A trade correspondent OF tho
Times asserts that prices have been
rushed up by the demand from the
continent The bulk of the wool on
cloth and "A large proportion OF tho
worsted, II IS stated is going to Ger
many through the three Scandina-
Wan countries.

Many of the women at the infirmary
likewise have departed and found

Ohio infirraaries here lost more than
200 men and women in the last few
months, because of the high wages
