pend L an effort to force adoption by

proposed

leaders that failure to dispose of the

Expert Warns of
Cotton Shortage
For Next 10 Years
Professor ]. A. Todd Says
Grower Should Be Given
Guaranteed Price Cover
ing Cost to Assure Supply

BLACKPOOL, England, Nov. &c
Professor John A. Todd, one of the
British delegates to the World Cotton
Conference at New Orleans, in Octo-
Der, told the Textile Institute the
other day that the worlds supply of
cotton for the next ten years was
seriously threatened He saw indica-
tions that the scarcity of cotton would
increase as the world capacity to con-
sumo it returned to>normal.
Professor Todd said the first step to
be taken should be to assure the
grower of reasonable price to cover
the cost of production and to reward
him adequately for growing improved
cotton. He pointed out that the pres
ent system Of marketing did not en-
courage the production of better cot
ton and insisted that the British gov
eminent might we'll do a great deal
more than this to extend the cotton
industry. He pleaded for rigorous
economy in consumption. The Ameri-
can cotton crop, said the professor,
was the limiting factor in the world s
supply. This crop had developed an
extreme undesirable see-saw movement
VI acreage, crops ana prices. Ihere
had been five bad crops in succession
with high prices accentuated by world
imitation.
Before the war, said the speaker, a
large part of the American growers
were on a small margin of profit and
when prices did not pay they reduced
their acreage. This occurred during
the war and the acreage then lost had
not since been recovered. American
acreage was reduced in 1919 and, owing
TO bad weather, this years was "a dis
astrous failure and calamity" The
result was that prices had been forced
up to very high level.
Europe and Asia are without stocks
of cotton goods, said the professor The
amount Of cotton which the worlds
mills could spin and weave is now re-
stricted by destruction of machinery
in the devastated regions of Europe
and restriction of the hours of labor.
but these conditions would not be per-
manent.
One thing which alarmed him was
the enormous development of the use
of motor cars in America with con-
sequent demand for 100000 bales of
staple cotton for fabrics in tires. This
demand existed at a time when the
whole world supply of staple cotton,
he said, had been reduced to 100000

Equestrian Statue
OfROOseyelt Asked
For Central Park
Sixth Avenue Board of Trade
Forms League to Raise
Fund to Establish Road
way and Traffic Gateway

A colossal equestrian statue of the
late Theodore Roosevelt in Central
Park, and roadway at Fifty-ninth
Street and Sixth Avenue leading up to
the statue and branching out in the
form of "Y." have been proposed as
the Sixth Avenue Board of Trade. To
gained the Roosevelt Central Park
Memorial League, which will carry out
the plans not only as fitting memo
rial to the great American, but also as
a measure of civic Improvement.
W. j. Salmon, president of the Sixth
Avenue Board of Trade, commenting on
the reception which the plan, suggested
by {. F. Winder, managing director of
the organization has received, said:
The proposed memorial, when erect
ed, will really benefit the community
greatly. This entrance and outlet
through the park is badly needed for
the relief of traffic congestion, which
has become almost unbearable at this
point
Architect Tells Plans
The architect who designed the en-
trance, w. La Zinsk, said in discussing
the architectural features Of the plan:
at is necessary in designing this en-
trance to bear in mind that no such
conception has been put into execution
at any point in the city, and that this
driveway, linked with the name of
Roosevelt, makes the conception one of
greater Importance than an ordinary
driveway"
In working out marble design SYM
bolic of Rooseveltian ideals, the purest
classic suggestions have been followed
The frieze over the colonnades desig-
mates the historical events during the
life of Theodore Roosevelt, while the
examinations are to bear inscriptions of
characteristic Roosevelt advice.
Alpine Garden Planned
The floors of the promenade are to !
be laid in Italian mosaic marble, and
the inside line of the colonnade is to
have marble seats between the columns.
1t has also been suggested that min
iature Alpine garden, with a waterfall
and lake, be laid out at this point.
Concealed lights will be used for illu
mnation with four large lamps at the
entrance to light the driveway.
