COTTON EXPORT
 OUTLOOK BAD
Italy, Sweden and France to Re- duce PurchaSes-FOreign Ex- change, Labor and General Situation Not Encouraging.

Washington, Feb 15.-Prospects for increasing the foreign sale of American cotton were described as unpromising in additional consular reports transmitted to the Senate to- ,day by President Wilson, in response to resolution of inquiry. Foreign exchange, labor and other conditions were declared unfavorable to pur- chase from the United States during the present year.
 Italy, the consular reports said, is expected to require between 10000 and 50000 bales of American cotton this year, as compared with a normal demand of 60,0O0 to 65,000 bales. Present Italian stocks, it was report ed, are ample for two months.
 Prospective purchases of American cotton by Sweden were placed at TO- 900 bales this year, as compared with normal annual purchases of from 120,000 to 170,000 bales Sixty per cent of the Swedish spindles were re- ported idle.
 French purchases of American cot ton this year, the reports said, are expected to show a reduction of 20 per cent. Last year France purchased 621 ,000 bales of the American pro- duct.
 The outlook for purchases of Amer ican cotton by Holland was said to be mot bright" and only about one fifth of the spindles of Czecho-Slo- vakia were reported in operation.

KING DEGREES
 USE OF VIOLENCE
Will Not Solve Problem, He Tells Parliament-FavOrs a Commercial Treaty With SO- viet Russia.

London, Feb 15.-Violence will not solve the Irish problem, King George declared here today in his speech from the throne to the two houses of Parliament, informally opening the sessions. One of the outstanding sec tions of his address referred to Ire land, the king saying:
 "The situation in Ireland still causes me distress. A misguided sec tion of the Irish people persists in resorting to methods of criminal vio- lence, with the object of establishing an independent republic.
 Neither Irish unity nor Irish self government can be attained by this means"
 The kings speech was brief, but touched on numerous vital questions confronting the government. At the outset it referred to the coming con- ferences to be held in London and attended by representatives of allied nations, Germany and Turkey.
 q earnestly trust" said King George "that by this means further progress may be made in giving eff feet to treaties of peace in re-estab fishing concord in Europe and in re- storing tranquility in the near east. :"
 King George expressed himself as favorably disposed toward a commer cial treaty with soviet Russia, say ing;
 "It is my hope that negotiations for a trade agreement with Russia may also be brought to successful conclusion"
 In discussing the Irish question the king said:
 Arrangements for bringing into force the governments Irish act are now we'll advanced, and l earnestly trust that in the near future the ma jority of the people will show their determination to repudiate violence and give effect to an act which con fers upon them responsibility of self government and provides machinery by which they can attain unity by constitutional means"

FRIENDS OF BOB WHITE
 HOLD UP SENATE MEASITRE
Special to The News.

Special to The News.
 Little Rock, Feb. 16.-A bill bv Senator Caldwell which had passed the Senate adding only ten days to the closed season for quail encount- cred opposition in the House yester- day. Some of the friends of Rob White thought the season should be restricted even more than was pro- posed in the bill and had the measure placed back on second reading for further amendment seeking to re- strict the season to the month of De- cember only. They said that they would even be in favor of prohibiting the killing of quail altogether for five years. The hunters however, look with disfavor upon this suggestion, and upon motion of MT. Brown of Monroe the bill and amendments were tabled
 The House was in tabling mood, however, and also tabled bills by Mir. Owens for the formation of local inn provement districts in the vicinities of certain cities, the bill being de- signed to apply only to Pulaski coun- ty; also bill to pay the travelling ex- penses of the circuit judge of the 9th judicial circuit. The House defeated a bill by Senators Townsend and Owens to authorize county judges to appoint guardians of minor heirs in certain cases.
