Abstract
THE Wool Industries Research Association's previous report, reviewed in NATURE of January 16, 1937, was an innovation issued for the information of the general public and firms outside the Association, in view of efforts then being made to secure a statutory levy. It is now reported that insufficient additional support has been forthcoming to warrant the introduction of an enabling Bill into Parliament, and this scheme has been dropped for the time being. It is, however, emphasized that nothing has been left undone to urge the claims of research, and the need for its financial support on a scale more adequate to the magnitude of the industry's interests. Meanwhile, generous response has been made by a number of individual firms for the purpose of meeting a serious and unexpected deficit in revenue, and the Council has decided upon a substantial increase in the rate of subscription for the processing sections of the industry.
