SOUTH CAN CONTROL
THE COTTON MARKET
STATES MORRISON


the spinning centers of Europe. The
outlook for England is most ominous
When England put cotton on the list as
ccntraband, our firm gave out an in
terview to the press in which all of these
things were stated with considerable de-
tail. 1t was pointed out at the time
that England. by declaring cotton contra
band, had invoked situation whose dis
tant effects would probably be far more
harmful to the spinners of England than
to the producers of America.
ut might be said that this Is an Amer
lean view and that 1t has been inspired
by American hopes and aspirations. In
a recent interview, however, Mr.. Hutton,
an English authority and notably con-
nected with the English spinning inter-
ests, expressed the same apprehension
and definitely stated that the operatives
at Lancashire and other cities might some
day have to migrate as a result.
SOUTH CAN PRODUCE
Where Is the cotton to come from
during the next 20 years? This is ques-
ton which concerns the spinners In
America as we'll as the spinners In
Europe. The development or a new
source of supply In some other country
in the near future is extremely improb-
able Training the labor and establishing
the equipment adequate to producing an
output of consequence Is slow process.
In practically every foreign country where
conditions are approximately favorable
for growing cotton, the races are back
ward, and it will take two generations
to develop them into labor OF depend
able efficiency 1t is in q sense like
having to create new civilization. Ev-
cry now and then we read in the papers
about the promising production of cotton
in other lands. but every such under
taking has been failure. 1t Is signifi-
cant that they all failed, not from the
lack of a suitable soil and suitable CHI
mate, but from the difficulties involved
In this very item of labor and equip
ment
1.-THE south can ultimately produce all
that will likely be required for many
years and can do it easier, quicker and
at less cost than any other part of the
world. This will entail a steady in
crease in both the labor and equipment
devoted to growing cotton. 1t takes time
to do this even in a civilized country.
With the economic life OF the south defi-
nitely launched, as it is now, into a varied
field of highly profitable activities, 1t is
doubtful II the labor could be spared.
and spared at profit, to increase the
production of cotton in proportion to the
increase which there is every reason to
expect in the demand.
For these reasons American Is not
likely to have any serious competition in
the production of cotton during the next
generation. and for the same reasons
there is not likely to be a burdensome
surplus during the same period of time
