WORLD LOOKS TO
U. S. FOR COTTON
Pins Faith in America For
Supply, Says
Holland.

Apparently the. world or that
part OF II which is occupied or
hopes to be occupied with the tex
tile industry is looking yearningly
towards the United States for sup
plies OF raw cotton. In fact the
relation of the cotton yield and the
manufacture Of cotton goods in the
United States to the future pros
perity of this country is sometimes
spoken OF as fully as important as
that Of any OF the other American
, industries. even the agricultural or
the steel and iron.
Curiously enough Just as reports
reached New York that the Chinese
government and the ablest OF the in
dustrial leaders of China are count
ing confidently upon a great in
crease in the production of raw cot
ton and also in the manufacture OF
cotton goods, announcement is
made from Washington that Great
Britain has lifted its embargo upon
the exports OF American cotton,
raw and manufactured. The re-
moval Of restrictions on the expor
OF American cotton from Great
Britain will re-establish in Great
Britain the British-American cotton
industry upon a pre-war basis.
Among the latest reports receiv-
ed in this city which tell of the in
dUstriaI needs Of other countries is
one that sets forth the urgent
need of Germany for American cot
ton. According to this report al
most all of the German textile
manufacturing plants are in good
condition. They only need Ameri-
can cotton and if this cotton can
be secured then the plants can be
put IN operation. \ very large
amount of American cotton, several
- hundred thousand bales. eau be
easily absorbed by Germany at
once il only she is able to pay for
the cotton either with her own
money Or BY means OF credit.
The war has served to develop
new and in some cases really
astonishing uses of cotton. The
fibre now enters into many kinds
OF manufacture where formerly its
use waS unhuowu. This. it is be-
lieveG. VIII lead to an increased
demand for American cotton. There
