We agree in the main with the

today when, even though our locks

BRITISH INDIA, notwithstand-
ing the comparative poverty Of
its 3l5,0O0,0Oo inhabitants, was
consuming more than 80 per cent
of the total output of the British
cotton textile mills prior to the
World War. Under normal con-
ditions British mills take about
one-fourth of the American cot
ton crop. and so it can easily be
seen that a reduction in the
ability of India to pay for cotton
cloth quickly is reflected in the
low price which the staple brings
here in Richmond county, The
purchasing power of India de-
ponds upon the character of the
monsoon, or rainy season. A
favorable monsoon means a good
crop, and a good crop means a
healthy flow of commerce and
greater ability to pay for British
goods. The recent rainy season
in India has been bad on crops,
and that together with the dis
location of trade the world over,
and the exchange rate on the
rupee, has thrown out of gear
the Rritish-India textile trade,
and as a consequence a low price
fox cotton here in the South. It
is far cry to India from Rock
ingham one might say, but it
goes to show how little this old
world is after all.
