lies had to give up the use of pneu-
matte tires early in the game. They
were as short of cotton as they we're
of rubber. Another aspect Of prob
able future conditions is that the
future of cotton, especially as a
weapon in peace bargaining, cannot
be reasonably considered from the
viewpoint Of its behavior since 1914
We must examine the situation as it
was during the season ending in that
year before any even near accurate
conclusions as to future probabilities
can be drawn.

The Political
"Cry-BaEv''

Curiously enough, cotton has al
ways been the political "cry-baby"
of American agricultural politics.
Pleas for it, plans for it, special
Legislation and every conceivable
kind of paternalism, are put for
ward. Regulations of every con-
ceivable kind, designed to hamper
everybody in the trade except the
planter, have been urged with an
obstinacy grown chronic and thun-
derous in their insistence. Wet
nursing till dotage is what its polit-
ico-farmer friends seem to want for
the fibre-in the bale.
And yet only last year, when the
value Of cotton to the planter was
compared as between 1914 and 1917,
not IN terms of money equivalent per
pound, but in the amount of con-
sumable goods that cotton will pur-
chase, 1T was found that the cotton
grower was much better off than the
farmer who raised wheat and corn.
Cotton to the Teutons should he
rationed-controlled. Let America
go to the apostles of the gospel os
and say: mo cotton

This "Commissarial," which di-
vided itself into nineteen sub-depart-
ments, has one consisting of fifteen
members dealing exclusively with
cotton. 1t is charged with the duty
of working to create those condi-
tons which will make it possible to
pass through the period of war in
dustries rehabilitation with the
least economic disturbances, so far
as raw cotton is concerned.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-04-06

Raw cotton for all practical pur-
poses is under the permanent con-
troll of America and the nations as
soclated with her in the war. This
is readily seen from a general s1r-
vey of world production.
Before the war the situation was
something like this The Allies used
some 2o,25o,000 bales, of the total
annual production, of which the
United States raised a crop of a.
100000 and the British Empire T :
100000 bales.
During the same crop year over
Zo,25o,OOo bales were spun in the
Allied countries, being used as fol-
lows:

cotton manufacturing in tho
United States merits rather de-
TAILED examination, for, although the
Southern states of this country have
come close to dominating the inter-
national raw cotton market, they
are not by any means to be disrc-
garded as spinners of cotton. To
examine from sundry angles the
position the South holds as COM
pared with the Northern division Of
the trade is interesting, instructive
and essential to a complete review
of the world cotton trade.

Going back to 1911-'12 and COM
pairing that season with the wear
1916'17, notable changes are seen to
have taken place in the distribu-
ton of the American cotton crops.
Whereas in the former season the
mills of the United States used ONLY
33 per cent Of the years crop, in
19l6-'17 their share of the takings
reached Sd per cent Of the total

The fourteen manufacturing ma
tons ranks as follows in the num-
Der of bales used per spindle. The
number of bales used by each 1000
spindles being taken as the factor
of comparisons:

Japanese factories, AS a rule,
work day and night shifts-twenty-
two hours a day, six days a week.
This accounts for the comparatively
large quantities Of cotton used by
her mills. The number of bales
per 1000 spindles," though en-
ployed officially, is not, however,
a precise measure of the weight in
pounds consumed per spindle, al
though it furnishes a close enough
comparison for our present pur-
pose.
AS showing some of the discre-
pancies due to this method of COM
parison, the factories of Japan and
India get almost all the cotton they
use from India, whose bales average
only about 410 pounds each. On the
other hand, Brazilian cotton used by
the mills of that republic average
but 80 pounds to the bale, while the
average bale of Egyptian cotton
weighs $50 pounds. The American
standard bales weigh 500 pounds
each. At any rate, this basis of
the number Of bales a thousand spin
dies is the standard adopted by the
international Federation of Master
Cotton Spinners' Associations and
used in their annual reports.

United States or in the lands of

This is momenrous question re-
quil'ing a prudent answer. An an
swer which must come out Of the
Paris conference. 1t will be by
no means overlooked by the public
Of the Allied countries when the

rails of major Importance. Few
realize the significance of cotton
in the sphere of human activities.
1t concerns every human being. 1t
meets man at the cradle and goes
with him to the grave. The fibre
also forms the scanty clothing of
hundreds of millions of the poorest
people of the world. Cotton is vital
to industry. There is no subst-
tute for it. And Americans should
remember that the United States
produces the larger part of the
worlds supply.
