ITALY EXPECTS RAW
COTTON FROM ". S

Italy looks to the United States
to supply her with raw cotton needed
for her industrial development after
the war. In review of the cotton
requirements of Italy, it is noted that
Italy will not be able to resort to
new markets for her requirements
of raw cotton, but she will look to
the United States to supply them as
she did before the war
Annual consumption of raw cotton
in Italy averaged, between 1910-1913,
about 100000 tons, three-fourths of
which was furnished by the United
States Italy has little hope of OBJ
tanning cotton from other producers,
that is, India, Egypt and Russia, be-
cause, first their output is less than
one-half that of the United States,
and secondly, because England and
Japan will try to keep all competitors
out of those fields. The review ex-
presses confidence in the willingness
of the United States to furnish the
