Wool Trouble and a Big Transfer Stirs Australian Debate

Sydney dispatch reports wool growers alleging government favoritism in wool prices tied to British handling and a private company selling combed wool as tops to Japanese buyers. It questions parliamentary oversight, compares gains from the Mexal steamers, and notes broader anger at unequal treatment of wool firms. A ceremonial transfer of the King’s colors marks demobilisation of Australian forces, celebrated by Governor General Sir Hector with vows of loyalty and valor. Also recounted is Pon y’s London scam that duped thousands and a court/public battle over ex nun Partridge’s whereabouts and related legal tensions amid Sinn Fein outrages.
