company, when interviewed by a
Record man as to conditions, said:
II do not believe the people of the

for alarm over the apprehension OF
losing the bulk of the cotton crop
on account of low price incident to
the European war.
"The people Of the world must be
fed and clothed as usual. If they are
interrupted for few weeks in trans
portation facilities that ought not to
bankrupt US, because a way will be
found to supply them. There will be
no embargo on the commerce of the
Pacific. England is our biggest GUS
toner for raw cotton and she may
be depended upon to keep her mills
running. She must have our cotton.
Her navy Will see to that.
There need not be any fear in this
