COTTON TRADE PROTESTS
That British Government Should In
crease Supply of Raw Cotton.

Manchester, England, March ID
Lancashire's entire cotton trade, at a
recent conference here to urge upon
the government the Importance of in
creasing the supply of raw cotton with
in the British empire, heard Lord Der
by, president of the British Cotton
Growing association, declare that fail
ure of the government to preserve the
industry would turn Lancashire into
a bowling wilderness"
Sir Herbert Dixon, formerly pres
ident of the cotton control board dur
ing the war, said the United States
could not seriously increase its growth
of cotton, and that the demands Of the
United States for cotton for its own
Use were becoming greater. II would
be b mortal blow to Lancashire, to
Great Britain and the United States as
well, he said, if prices continued to
soar.
Edwin Stockton, president of the
Manchester Chamber of Commerce,
presented a resolution, which was
unanimously adopted, expressing APP
probation OF the cotton employers de-
cision to contribute a levy of siXpence
per bale toward the cost Of expanding
the cotton fields and asking the gov
eminent TO make financial provision
which would, in combination with the
money subscribed in the industry, give
effect to the proposals of the empire
cotton committee to promote cotton
growing within the empire. .
Vice President Shute of the Liver
pool Cotton association said he believed
a well thought out project involving
the purchase Of land for the cultivation
of cotton cnuld be made an absolutely
sound proposition.
