ALL EUROPE IS IN REVOLT
AGAINST AMERICAN COTTON
Movement Begun to Free Their Spinners From
Dependence on Us by Finding New
Sources of Supply.
(By the Associated Press }

Washington, Jan. PA revolt against
American cotton is the title of a long
report just received at the State Depart
ment from United States Consul General
Mason at Berlin, Germany.
Mr.. Mason says that foremost among
the economic movements in Europe. which
may have aserious meaning for important
interests in America, is the present stimuli
taneous effort of Great Britain, France
and Germany to emancirate their textile
industries from dependence upon American
cotton.
The portentous feature of the situation
rs that there is, not only in Germany but
throughout Europe growing feeling of
resentment against this dependence and a
determination that their spinning and
weaving industries must at ay cost, be
emancipated from such vassalage by the
development of wholly new sources Of sup
ply. The German press charges that the
American cotton market is at the mercy
of spectators who drive up and down the
prices to suit their own purposes. Thus
far the movement is in its infancy, but

Grosscup on the Corporations.

Springfield, Ills, Jan. 27-The princi-

citation today was Judge Peter s. Grosscup,
of the United States Circuit court at
Chicago. His subject as "The Next Great
Step in American Politics, the Re-people

said in conclusion:
Corporations are here to stay. Big
corporations are here to stay. Labor
unions that abide the laws are here to
stay. To deal with them, as one would
deal with mad dogs, is to ask public
opinion itself to go mad. But these in
terests, corporate and personal, one and
all must be brought under the full domin-
/ ion of law. They must be allowed to
trample no mans rights on the ground.
They must be allowed to successfully
shelter no man bent on robbing his fel-
low men. They must. and they can, be
made the open door to opportunity; the
door through which every American,

security, carry his ambition to share in
his countrys prosperity, and in the free
! dom of his country's laws"

reduced for the. same reason.
Mr.. Grosvener, (Ohiol remarked to Mr..
Hardwick that it was the best presenta-
tion of a bad cause he had ever heard.
References to election methods in
Southern States caused number of col
oQuies between MIR. Landis and Mr.. Will
liams (Miss.) and several others on the
minority side. Mr.. Landis said prosper
ity was here to remain if the Democrats
would let it stay, but the Democrats
could scare itSaway tomorrow, he added,
by electing a Democratic Congress and
enacting a measure similar to the Cor
manWilson tariff bill. The Republicans
declared Mr.. Lands, would go into the
battle on the party's record. He called
attention to the prosperous condition of
the Southern States, and replying to a
question Mr.. Livingston Georgia. said
the Democratic States were prosperous
in spite of the tariff.

Mr.. Hardwick (Dem.) Ga. made a

growers Of our Southern States, says Mr..
Mason. Experiments in the East African
colonies during the last two years have
been successful. 1t is announced that
there are many thousand square miles Of
land in East Africa with soil and climate
well adapted for the cultivation of cotton.
Through the German Consul at Calves

over and educate at the agricultural
school and on plantations in Texas a
number of young Germans who, before

years as superintendents of plantations in

the native tribes prove too incompetent
1t may be many years before this Eu-
ropean crusade for colonial cotton may
be accomplished but, says Mr.. Mason.
whether we like it or not the day will
come sooner or later when the cotton OF
our Southern uplands and valleys will no
longer be king beyond the frontiers Of the
United States.
