While it is admitted that the exports still are slightly in excess to these neutral nations of that under normal peace conditions, the British assumption that the great bulk of such exports were ul- timately destined for Germany or Austria is held to be unwarranted.
 The British ministry claims to be in a position to furnish authentic proof to the United States govern ment that the great bulk oS this merchandise did find it's way to Germany, and 1t is pointed out in previous notes that the export of cot ton from non-producing nations like
