The "Defence Supplies Corporation" was transporting to the United States 250,000,000 pounds of Austra-lion wool, Mr. Jones also disclosed. The estimated cost of transportation and storage would be about US$12,- 000,000.

As of April 30, about 4,086,000 pounds of the wool had been received and several cargoes were afloat. The wool belongs to Britain but the U.S. Government has the right to use any part it may need, Mr. Jones said.—United Press.
