BRITAIN TO GROW COTTON.
So That 1t Will Be Independent of the
United States.

London. Wednesday, Jan 2l.-Plans
intended to result in the production
within the British empire of enough
cotton to supply the bulk of the ma
tion's needs are outlined in report of
the cotton growing committee of the
board of trade, made public here to-
dav.
The report OF the committee said the
cotton industry in the empire drew
four-fifths of its supplies from the
United States, and expressed the belief
that il was dangerous to be dependent
so largely on the climate vagaries Of
one portion of the world. The white
paper also pointed out that the United
States is requiring every year an in
creasing proportion OF its own cotton
crops for home consumption.
Since July, 1917, the situation with
respect to the cotton industry has be-
come worse. the report stated, and
there was said TO be evidence of world
shortage of the commodity
The problem of adequate develop
ment Of the empires cotton resources
was said to depend on the acquisition
of necessary knowledge. the supply of
capable men. establishment of efficient
arrangements for controlling growing
cotton crops and marketing and the
provisioning of necessary money. -

ITALY WILL INVOKE

Italy. According to Premier Nitti,
Hopes FOR Some Other Settlement
of the Adriatic Controversy.

Paris, Jan. 22.-Italy will demand OF
France and England the carrying out
Of the treaty OF London only when all
other means of settling the AdriatiC
| question have been tried and found fu.
| tile, according to statement made by
| Premier Nitti. to representative OF
the Echo de Paris. The correspondent
accompanied the Italian premier from
| this city to Nice. and was told by Sig
nor Nitti that his trip to Rome was
brought about solely by the railroad
strike in Italy.
'The reply of the Jugo Slay govern
ment to the note of the supreme conn-
ell relative to conflicting claims on the
eastern shores of the Adriatic does not
satisfy US" the premier is quoted as
saying. ''bnt we have gone to the ex-
treme limit in making concessions. The
world should realize that for the sake
of Fiume, we renounce Dalmatia, which
was given to us by the pact of Lon
don We hope that, after a few days
further reflection, the Jugo Slavs Will
send an acceptable answer. This new
people is in the course of forma-
tion and the exaggerated impnlsiveness
characteristic of youth is naturally
present, but we are anxious to con
slider the Jugo- Slavs friends. They and
we occupy the greater part of the Adri
attic coast and have mutual interests.
I wish to facilitate these relations. We
will find an agreement. 1t must be
found. We viii demand execution Of
the London pact only at the last ex
tremity.e
Premier Nitti expects to return to
Paris soon to resume his work in the
peace conference.
"Thc date of my return will depend
upon internal events in Italy and Eng
land" he said. "We will agree upon
time, for Premier Lloyd George and
myself are most anxious to settle pend
ing questions. These include those rel
ative to the Adriatic. Asia Minor, Tur
key and the future status of Constan-
tinoplc. There must be as little DELAY |
as possible because delay is tnervating. |
What is needed in Europe, especially |
in the face of our former enemies Is |
the spirit of peace. We must bend all |
our efforts to spreading the feeling OF |
peace. and for that reason the sigma
tories of treaties ending the great war
must scrupulously fulfill their obiga
tions"
Speaking of the arrangement by
which allied nations will reopen trade
relations with the Russian people, the
italian premier expressed the belief
that it would have a beneficial effect.
II am convinced the arrangement will
be good for everybody and eannot fail
10 diminish the spirit of revolt in Rus
ia, for nothing excites that spirit so
much as absolute isolation he de-
Jared Russia + the storehouse of
Europe, and she must share in provi-
,ioniRg the continent. This is especially

wish to fight increased prices, which is
