mark of genius in designing Is re-

made wonderful progress, considering
the fact that before the war this mar

bulk Of the shipments arriving from
home, however, in 1920 consisted of
coal from Newport News and flour
from the North. American automo-

conditions of year ago, as well as
Che general lack Of knowledge Of what
the future holds for Egypt, is deter

The chief cause for business worry
at this writing is the decline in cot
ton prices plus the general interna-
tional slump in trade. The two events
coming at the same time work more
than ordinary hardship to the business
life of Egypt. r
One business man remarked that
people in Egypt realized that the
trade of the world was in a bad state
that prices were falling the whole
world over, and that there was gen.
eral stagnation in buying. But, he
continued, "other countries have
usually more than one industry upon
which to exist. Here in Egypt we
must live or die at the within of King
Cotton. This whim Is not left in our
power to control We grow the cot
ton, and Lancashire and Manchester,
as well as your big tire fabric centers
at home, manipulate the buying price.
OF course, every one in Egypt with
grain of common sense, realizes
that the law Of supply and demand
rules; but, depending as 1t does upon
one industry, the business life of the
community is more or less left open
to unusual perils when that one In
dustry fails"
Bulk Of Business Life.
This business man was engaged In
the wholesale supply of sundries and
novelties. His point Of view may be
accepted as that of such traders In
general-those who buy In Europe,
America or Japan and import the
goods to Egypt for local consumption.
This work constitutes the bulk Of the
business life of the community. It is
not the greatest In point Of wealth,
