M.ss McNevln showed much promise.
Her voice Ia one of unusual beauty and
volume and she betrayed temperamental
qualities OF value. She sang with much
warmth and with evidences of training
IN both technic and style.
Her most serious fault was the en-
ployment OF method OF tone produc-

greatest power. This was entirely un-
necessary, since there was abundant
natural power. This young singer will
undoubtedly learn that beauty in song

Cotton in War and Peace.

From the earliest period of cotton
planting in this country In the six
teenth century to the invention OF
WHITNEY's saw gin in 1893 our cot
ton industry grew from yearly pro-
duction Of few hundred pounds to
35, 900 bales Of the fibre. In the CEN
tury and quarter after the saw gin
came into general use the production
In America increased about five hum
dredfold until In 1914 the topmost
peak of 100000 bales was reached
and the production of the whole
world, including American, Egyptian,
Indian, Mexican, South American and
all other cotton, was approximately
%, 100000 bales.
America will no doubt continue TO
lead the world in cotton, despite the
efforts TO create a serious competitor
on some other continent. The impor
tant thing is to find out how much
cotton the world is going to demand
to make up the shortage resulting
from the war; how far the lower
standards of living will affect con-
sumption Of cotton goods during the
next decade and how much the con-
sumption In America and other credi-
tor countries will increase constitute
the puzzle to be solved.
These questions are not made easier
to answer by the fact that of the 1920
cotton crop Of 13,3e5,000 bales In
America more than half remains I'M
taken and will likely be carried over
into next season.
But regardless OF the present low
prices md slack demand for cotton,
English manufacturers are not groom
ing themselves in the hope that these
conditions will continue for more than
a limited time, although plentiful cot
ton would mean cheap raw materials
for the English spinning industry.
What the English cotton trade calcu-
lates on for the future is summed up
in an opinion submitted by ]. w.
McCoNNEL, chairman Of the Fine
Spinners and Doublers Association,
at recent conference Of the British
Colonial Institute on Cotton Growing.
In his own words, he believes that
before many months are past the
world will again be calling for cot
ton. and that year by year for many
years TO come increasing quantities
will be required"
Mr.. MoCoNNEL lays much store by
the statistical evidence OF the past.
While the cotton crops of the world
increased steadily. he contends that
the supply was never equal 10 the de-
mand II the latter had been fully
met. and that this was proved by the
rise in the price OF cotton, which was
more rapid than the general rise In
the cost Of living even though more
cotton was available.
4 reference to cotton statistics and
the general cost Of living appears TO
bear this out. In the following table

JEvovs's adjusted figures on the cost
Of living In England, with tAs years

Coming Elections in Italy.

The activity Of the extreme radi-
calls in northern Italy has every ap-
pearance of an organized effort to
influence the general elections which
take place on May Is. These cleo
tions promise to be more holly con-
tested than any which have been
held in the country for many years.
They are of peculiar interest to the
Socialists in that the conservative
elements viii make an open and di-
rect fight TO reduce the radical repre-
sentation in the Italian Parliament.
Messages from Italy yesterday
brought the report Of a fight be-
tween the Socialists and an extreme
group Of the Nationalist party at
Padua, and also the revelation Of
we'll planned anarchist plot, impli-
eating about 100 persons, to destroy
several public and private buildings
at Ferrara. These disorders are at
present confined almost entirely to
the manufacturing towns of northern
Italy, and they have followed the
unsuccessful attempts Of the Com
munists to gain control Of affairs in
Tuscany.
One of the most marked Of the
Communists attempts outside Of Flor
ence was their effort to cause gen.
eral uprising of oil the working peo-
pie at Casale Monferrato. Here they
which they had gained possession and
fired upon a Nationalist gathering.
They were routed by force Of Cara
binieri and Royal Guards and more
than 200 Of their number were placed
under arrest. The firearms which
they had used i'm their attack mad
been shrewdly concealed when the
military forces arrived, but there were
finally uncovered two machine guns
and 200 rifles. This store of arms
was surprise to the authorities and
the only explanation that could be
offered for their being in possession
OF the Communists was that during
the occupation Of the factories last
September many of the Communist
workmen manufactured and appro-
priated large quantities of weapons.
The military authorities have since
been assiduously at work endeavoring
to unearth more of these hidden
stores.
The expedition with which the
Communist disorders In Tuscany were
put down and the fact that the lead
ers Of several anarchistlc plots have
been arrested and that the disturb
ances in northern Italy have been
quickly controlled indicate that the
Italian Government is thoroughly
awake to its responsibility. There
hes been thus comparatively small
loss of lives or property from these
disorders.
That Italy now recognizes the dan
ger to her institutions from the radi-
cal elements and that she is deter
mined to beat them In an open and
fair election Is an extremely good
indication Of her national and politi-
cal health. Some of her politicians
have been inclined TO compromise and
bargain with the radicals to the ex-
tent that the most desirable meas
ures for public good were so covered
with limitations that they became
practically imperative. The object
sought In the elections Is to reduce
the Socialist Deputies to a number
which will be really representative
Of Socialist strength. There is
bitter fight in prospect, but the issue
Is so clearly drawn that radlcalism
knows II Is confronted with a life
or death struggle.
