Who Got the Wool
A World article notes government wool sales since 1914 exceed 315000 pounds at auction while 66000000 pounds of Australian wool contracts are canceled and 145000000 pounds remain, including 12000000 pounds of carpet wool. Excluding Australian supply and carpet wools leaves 45000000 pounds with manufacturers and government, enough for about two and a half suits per adult male in the U S. Yet promises of 100 ready to wear suits per order clash with higher costs. The piece asks who holds the wool and who is being shorn.
