both domestic and foreign, are close
~ interrelated, and that it is difficult
to effect any radical changes except
through a conference at which an en-
tire cotton industry Of the world is
.represente.
A commission representing the
American cotton industry is now tour
ing Europe, consulting with the lead
ers of the European cotton trade as
to methods Of organizing most effec-
lively the work of the coming world
conference. When the commission
sailed from this country they consid-
cred that one Of their functions was
to stimulate much interest among
European cotton men, and they have
advised the managers of the confer
-ence in this country that in this work
they have been entirely successful.
The European cotton merchants, spin
ners and manufacturers recognize the
need of the World Cotton Conference,
and are arranging to send represen-
tative delegates to participate in it.
The executive committee of the
conference has carefully planned the
basis of representation for the Ameri-
can cotton industry. There will be
above 5000 American delegates in
vited. About one-third of these will
represent the cotton growers.
With view to expediting the work
of the conference and to make sure
that it eliminates in definite, specific
action, ten committees have been
formed, each of which will be charged
with handling one of the major prob
lens to come before the conference.
Each of these committees will include
American and foreign delegates. The
cEairmen have already been announc-
ed and they are collecting data on the
subjects which they have in hand.
When the conference convenes, these
committees will hold separate hear
ings for the purpose Of receiving
further information and suggestions.
They will then ernbody their conclus-
ions in definite recommendations to
the conference, and on the basis of
these committee reports the confer
ence will take specific action.
The conference will last four days
from October 10 to 16 inclusive and
will consist Of ten sessions. The open
ing session will be called to order by
James R. McColl, chairman of the
National Council of American Cotton
Manufacturers. The speakers on the
various subjects to come before the
conference will be recognized authori-
ties. The conference will consider the
problems involved in the growing and

WORLD COTTON CON-
FERENCE IN NEW ORLEANS

New Orleans will be the scene of an
important event in the history Of the
worlds cotton trade next October.
For the first time in IL years the
leaders of this great industry will
gather there, from all the leading
cotton growing and cotton manufac-
turing countries of the world, to dis
cuss their problems and to take action
looking to more economical, efficient
and generally satisfactory methods
of conducting the business. 1t is ex-
peeted that there will be several
thousand official delegates from the
American cotton industry alone, not
to mention the delegations from for
eign countries, and the large number
who viii doubtless desire to attend
the conference though without specific
credentials.
The conference is the outcome Of
the war. The rising costs of raw "a
terials and finished goods, the emer-
gency demand for maximum produc-
ton and the readjustment forced on
every branch of the industry through
war conditions have brought old time
problems to the attention Of the trade
with a new meaning and aroused it
to a determination to eliminate waste
full, uneconomical methods. During
the war numerous conferences be-
tween the various branches Of the in
dustry were held with a view to eff
fecting needed improvements. It was
found in each instance that the prob
