Particularly when-reviewed from a world stand- point. The stocks of wool and woolen goods thruout the world are in an exhausted condition. Less than one- {half the normal stock is in sight in Belgium, Holland, Norway, Sweden, '|Denmark, Germany, Austria, Hun- gary, Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, Ru-} {mania and the principal cities of Tur- key and Russia are almost wholly cleared of wool and woolen goods.

In North and South America are 300,000,000 people who :have gone on |short wool rations all thru the period |of war, and neither Great Britain, |France, Switzerland, Italy, Spain nor Portugal can be said to have more than half the normal stocks. Cotn-| tries with more than 550,000,000 population will need to be wholly or in part restocked during the next two or three years. There is a question whether all the wool crops of the world can make up these enormous leficiencies and meet current re- quirements as well inside of three year’s time. | The change from army to civilian uniforms, shirts, underwear and all, alone would be s&fficient to tax the manufacturing facilities of this coun- ‘try for a considerable period, con- sidering that current consumption! must be met in the meantime.
