TO ELIMINATE SPECULATION -- Gazeta Handlowa, No 25, 29 Mar 50
Following the order of the council of Ministers issued 20 January 1950
pertaining to the granting of charters for the sale and processing of wool,
the chairman of the State Economic Planning Commission has issued an order

Office of Domestic Textile Raw Materials state enterprise the exclusive right
to purchase wool.
These orders will introduce basic reforms in the domestic wool market.
The allocation of wool is necessary to eliminate speculation. In practice,
domestic wool was not being sent to state factories but was being processed
by private industrial establishments and thus reached the hands of specu-
lators in the form of finished fabrics. Allocation will assure the state en-
terprise larger supplies of domestic wool and reduce the need for imports.

exchange of wool for women fabrics and yarns.

The Economic Committee of the Council of Ministers has approved a resolu-
tion to promote sheep raising and improve the quantity and quality cf wool

receive sheep from state farms and stock-breeding farms. The government will
grant subsidies and medium-term loans for this purpose.
State farms will set up three instruction centers to train sheep raisers
for large farmsteads.
