whisper.

SEES CRISIS COMING.
This forms the substance Of &
sensational forecast by Sir Ed
ward Mackay Edgar, financier anC
industrialist. who has just returned
from the States. Sir Edward con
tinues:
An economic crisis Is approach
ing. The American demand for
metals, cotton and oil is SO in
satiable that a world-wi short
evitable. You can hardly name
one Of the big staples of industry
which they are not literally de-
vouring.
One hundred and fifteen million
people are feverishly tearing from
the earth Its irreplaceable wealth,
using it to maintain q rate of
growth unprecedented in all hu-
man history.
ECONOMIC FACTOR.
This terrible consuming power
of America is the biggest economic
factor in the world today. You
cannot imagine America import
ing cotton. Well. it is going to
happen this year. She is using
in her own mills about 20 per
cent of her cotton crop. Before
the war. she used 20 per cent,
The time is clearly coming when
there, will be precious little left
over for the rest of the world,
One Of the heads Of a public
service corporation told me that
in order to meet the growth of
the population $1,000, 200. 900 will
have to be spent yearly for the
next ten years for tramways,
electric light and power services.
Think what this means in the
way of nonferrous metals.
SHORTAGE OF OIL.
As for oil. America has already
reached the importing stage.
Our business as Britons is to
sit tight on what we have and
exploit all the oil. cotton and
metal possibilities in the nom
American world. In that way we
shall do more than safeguard our
posjtion-we shall be able to
supply America.
