 crops. but he would not finance them in growing cotton at such an obvious loss as. the price of October contracts would mean. He is advising his clients to radi- cally reduce their cotton acreage and to increase, in the same ratio, the area planted to those products which have in the past proven more profitable than cot ton, and which, all sings indicate, will continue to be more profitable the com ing year.
 The writer recently had a discussion with an individual who belongs to that reactionary element whose attitude has been. and continues to be, steadily against those better prices for cotton so essential to keeping up dependa- ble supply. The line of thought of this individual was typical of his class He stated that all commodities had to come down, that cotton with the balance would have to return to pre-war levels, that the public was tired of high prices and would pay them no longer l asked him if it was not reasonable to assume also that the cotton laborer had grown tired of living in shack, tired of the coarse food upon his table and tired of the rags upon his back, all of which had made pre-war prices possible?
 INDIRECT ANSWER
 He did not answer the question direct. His, somewhat prejudiced. circumlocu- ton indicated plainly that his mental processes were not adequate to weigh ing such question in keeping with the spirit of the times, in other words, his answer revealed that his vision had not yet comprehended the vital significance of the war as it related to the matter we were discussing The rights of man, the immortality and danger of class dis tinction and the danger of closing the door of opportunity against one and opening it wide for another even, the principles of democracy in this supreme hour of democracy's triumph, were all still quite within the realm of acad- emics with him. Some day he and his kind may wake up to the fact that these things are tremendous realities pressing vehemently, every day, upon society for an interpretation which recognizes the right of all men to an equalness of opportunity.
 The news has been current recently that the war might be renewed. Such a thing is too remote to be seriously con- sidered The very fact, however, that the old concepts of civilization are being wrecked to their very foundation, ana that the concepts of social and civil life will have to be built from the bottom up, means that there will be many a wrench, which will disturb business, be- fore the every day life of the various peoples of the world will become ad- iusted to the changed conditions under which they must live henceforth. Every kind of business will have to contend with these things, including the business of producing cotton with the balance It would be an act of folly not to ex- pect and not to prepare for these ds- turbances.
 Summed up, the intelligent and entire adequacy with which the producers have dealt with every problem in late years and their unquestioned financial re- sources, make 1t evident that if they cannot produce cotton at a good profit it will not be produced at all.

URGES BRITISH TO
BORROW FROM j. S.

LONDON, June 23.-Sir Henry
Thornton. general manager OF the
Great Eastern Railway, has returned
TO London after a visit to the United
states. Interviewed by the Daily
Telegraph, he said:
America has a tremendous amount
OF capital, and the interesting ques-
ton arises: Why should not we have
some of it? Why should We not use
American capital for new CONNER
cial enterprises? A considerable por-
zion will go into foreign fields for
investment in any case, and 1 know
American f1nanciers would prefer that
II come here or TO any part Of the
British empire.
DO not misunderstood me. 1 am
not advocating what I may call the
american power of industrial pene-
tratlOn. We must always retain the
control and management Of the vari-
GUS projects so capitalized"
