 MAGNATES SAIL FOR EUROPE

New York, May 15.-A special com mission of American cotton manufac- turers, appointed by the executive committee of the World Cotton Con- ference to be held in New Orleans next fall, sailed for Europe today on the steamship Baltic to investigate textile conditions and discuss inter- national relations between textile m- in various parts of the world.
 The delegation will remain in Europe two months. visiting cotton manufacturing associations in Liver pool, Manchester. London, Rotterdam, Brussels, Ghent, Lille Havre and Paris. Later the commission will break up into smaller groups to visit Italy, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain, Norway and Sweden.
 The increase in manufacturing costs, the upheaval in International trade, the crippling of textile organizations in France, Belgium and Russia, and es- pecially the rapid rise of the Japanese textile industry, are some of the ef- fleets of the war which have brought about the appointment of the com mission to visit Europe for the world cotton conference and the American cotton manufacturing industry.
