Washington, Sept. 12. HP)
The agriculture department said
today the British government
had gained control over a ma

port surplus of wool and conse
quently was in a position to
dominate prices both abroad and
in this country.
This control over prices, of

ders, imports between now and j took cover
next March would exceed 120,
000.000 pounds. In the full year
before the war imports totaled
about 100,000,000 pounds.
The department said the Brit
ish government hid recently
taken over the wool output of
the Union of South Africa. A
year ago it acquired the Aus
tralian and New Zealand wool
clips for duration of the war
and one clip thereafter.
As a consequence, only the
production of Argentina and
Uruguay, remaining surplus
sources of any importance, are
outside British control.
Import Fixes Price.
Stating that domestic prices
will depend largely on prices
of imported wool, the depart
ment said quotations on the lat
ter, in turn, would depend "part
ly upon the quantities of Aus
tralian and South African wools
released for export and the
prices fixed for such wools by
the British government."
Domestic prices have been
advancing during the last sev
eral months.

raid alarm sounded as they were
southeast London.
Ai the sirens shrieked, the!
king and queen left their car,
in which they had been riding
with Home Secretary Sir John
Anderson, and walked down-1
stairs into the shelter.
They resumed their tour
when the "all clear" signal j
sounded 10 minutes later.
Strange Assortment
In the bleak, dim-lit shelter,
the king saw one of the
strangest assortments of human
ity these class-leveling air at
tacks have brought together.
Their majesties sat on bare
wooden chairs in the center of
the room, the king smartly
dressed in his field marshal's
uniform and the queen wearing
a two-piece suit of salmon biege.
On benches around the walls
were policemen, court officials,
overalled ARP (air raid precau
tions) workers fresh from the
ruins of a court house next
door, white-smocked women
from the police canteen, and
others.
When the royal couple walk
ed into the shelter, about 30
persons already there stared
astonishment, then clapped their
hands. The king leaned back in
his chair, crossed his legs and
lit a cigarette.
Waits For Tea
One canteen woman bustled
making tea, but it was not
quite ready when the sirens
sounded- again. The king re
marked: "It's all clear, but I'm going
to wait for some of that tea."
In a few moments, he and
the queen were drinking from
the heavy china cups marked
"police canteen."
This is delicious! the queen
exclaimed. "I should never have
thought you could produce tea
so soon.
The canteen woman smiled
proudly.
