Further if we increased the price of all wools to correspond to higher buying prices of British and Dominion wools, it is very unlikely that in present circumstances we should be able to sell a large part of the clips we have bought. 5. It is clear to me, therefore, that our interests would be best served by making it clear that the Ministry of Supply pays to the farmer a commercial price for the wool; and that any addition that is made to that price is made on behalf of other Departments. 6. I have no means of judging whether the prices proposed by the Agricultural Departments are necessary to the economy of the farmer in the present circumstances.
