Overseas woollen mills suffer as Canadian industry closes
Dominion Woollen Mills report notes English and Continental imports squeeze Australian and Canadian textile sectors. In Canada the Hawthorne Mill with 200 workers shut down despite 44 years in business, as protection costs and wage gaps boost import competition. Wool production and mill use differ sharply between Australia and Canada, with Canada consuming 18 million pounds and Australia 50 million pounds yearly. Government finance and tariffs influence wool prices and industry viability across dominions.

The piece argues Australia, with 2.6 million breadwinners and 54 million people, suffers high costs from public debt, pensions, and an oversized civil service.

It calls for reduced borrowing, protected primary produce, and revitalized manufacturing to avert fiscal strain.
