Copyrt0hf. 1919: all yiohfs rsserred.


LONDON, Jan. 23.-Leaders in the
lancashire cotton industry are greatly
disturbed by news that American tex
tile manufacturers intend to reach out
after the worlds trade.
Ordinarily" said a member OF the
Master Spinners' Association, "the
action of the four syeat textile associa-
tions in America II extend their trade
would not make much difference to the
export trade OF Great Britain. but as
things are tending to-day the news is
certaily alarming.
Before the war America might have
worked strenuously to extend her mar
kets. but the goods could not have been
delivered except at loss. To-day.
when the wages Of British textile work
ers have more than doubled. with every
article entering into the manufacture OF
our products much higher in price than
IN the pre-war days. not forgetting the
menace Of a shorter working week, those
who are disposed to calmly review the
situation are naturally alarmed at the
prospect
The cost Of British production now
exceeds the cost for which American
manufacturers can turn out the same
class of goods. II rests with the boards
OF reconstruction. therefore. to seriously
consider this question with trade union
leaders for the good OF both the producer
and the worker.
Unless nothing is done to deal with
the question OF wages and hours in
Great Britain on international lines the
British textile industry will be compelled
to confne its energies to the home mar
ket"
On the other hand, the news from the
States that import restrictions have
been removed from laces, hosiery. nets.
silks. cotton and woollen goods has
aroused great enthusiasm in Noting
ham. where for months scarcely any
hosiery trade has been done with the
United States compared 10 the big ex-
ports or normal times. The big max
ers state that few II any buyers from the
States have been seen there lately, the
shippers apparently anticipating reduc-
tons In prices. Now that the restric-
tons have been removed II is expected
there will be a brisk business in all

upon whose trade certain restrictions
will have to be continued for some
time. with gradual notifications.
The question of greatest interest
now before the economic experts, out
side OF the German blockade, relates
to the blacklist of commercial bodies
throughout the world, but particu-
larry in the United States. These
concerns are clanioring for the aboli-
ton Of the blacklist In South Amer
lea and neutral countries; also for
abolition of the present censorship
and the return to pre-war conditions
at once.
Gets hack to Indemnities.
These questions are now under dis
cussion, with q prospect Of n decision
soon The trouble with this, as with
all economic questions, is that 1t gets
back, in the last analysis, to the
question of how shall Germany pay
for the war, particularly in the mat
ter OF indemnities.
Germany has large credits In neu-
trail and South American countries.
! AZ woil as much gold at home, which
France, particularly. views with a
jealous eye as furnishing the best
aud quickest means Of paying large
indcmnities for rebuilding her dam
aged territory.
It is contended that II the black
list is removed the old German COM
mercial system will get busy trans
forming and covering up these credits,
which Is impossible as long as such
firms are not permitted to trade with
allied firms.
Censorship Of the mails and cables
| Is involved in the same question.
, American representatives on the eco
nomic side are inclined to see the
Justice of this contention. though
recognizing the desire Of American
business houses to resume trading
relations with the blacklisted firms.
| Food Payments Undetermined.
The matter Of gold and credits also
has come Up in connection with the
question of allowing Germans in the
occupied sections to resume business.
BY modifying the blockade food ship
ments to Germany would be paid for
with German cash, or supplies. like
potash. Many want all the gold held
intact In Germany unit the indemnity
matter Is settled.
1t has been difficult so far to bring
! about an agreement on the matter of
payment for food. which, although a
troublesome factor, must be settled
speedily. Military commanders in the
occupied territory recommend that
German manufacturers be permitted
10 resume the sale Of their products
outside Of German borders. This
question has been referred to the al
lied economic commission.
Referring to the plan Of President
Wilson to return home next month
Senator Owea (Oklahoma), who plans
to return next week and who has
been closely following the work of
the Peace Conferences, said to-day:
THE President certainly must come
back to Paris quickly. The whole
future Of the world is being settled
here and his presence is required. II
is inevitable that progress should be
slow. as bargaining is the rule over
here. Even II the Republicans force
an extra session by refusals to pass
the appropriation bill 1t need not be
called until June. which would give
