Oriental Buying Po,ver

Much depends on the buying power
of the Orient, which shows signs of
recovery, and, despite the boycott Of
Lancashire goods in India, the takings
OF that great market is expected to
grow during the coming year, when the
h'gh tarift rate of II per cent on i'm
ported cotton manufactures will, it is
anticipated, be reduced. Then, again.
world financial conditions are becoming
moro favorable.
Altogether, considering The cotton
question from present conditions and
past experience, ii must not be for
gotten that there has been a gradual.
World-wldc and long continued deple-
ton of cotton products in use. Pcoplc

meantime Japan is taking American
cotton IN constantly increasing guam

Chlna Is consuming more and more of
her home grown cotton, much of which

latest statistics show THAT there are in
China 1.S63.275 spinning spindles

During its period of war impovcr-

it is interesting to note that the coun-

THE surprise of the current cot
ton year was the revised gov
ernment estimate Of S,340,000
bales, correcting the estimate Of an
other bureau Of the same authority
(sic). issued in October, of 6,537 900
bales for the season. The blunder
was not unforeseen, as readers of
this newspaper may recall that as
early as September 2, commenting
on the estimate Of condition, | said :
at also means, if correct, that a
combination of adverse weather and
error has broken another record,' y

large percentage has been accounted
for thus carly"
Cotton being the most important
commodity in international trade and
this country the source OF some two
thirds Of the world supply. due weight
must be given to the significant fact
that this nation, being the most pros
porous in the world has natural
tendency to be the most optimistic
The South talked itself into a belief
that acreage curtailmcnt, boil weevi
damage and diminished use Of fertiiz-
ers were much greater than events
proved, and this conviction spread
throughout the trade TO such an extent
that by September contracts for
March delivery had risen nearly nine
cents a pound. The result was. as ono
Southern propagandist elecfully put it:
'ln the last sixty days the advance in
cotton has made the new crop and the
carry~over worth nearly $500, 900
more than they would have been worth
at the prices then prcvajling." On the
other hand, the effect on the large num-
Der Of spinners who anticipated their
requirements at the prices then pre-
vailing was little short of disastrous,
and while Southern banks were able to
thaw frozen credits their relief came
at the expense Of users of cotton.

ACTION Of Ship
SUBSIDY IS NO
GREAT SURPRISE
Harding and Republican
Leaders Favor Paying
S3O,0O0,OOO a Year For
Merchant Marine

WASHINGTON. The announce
ment that President Harding, Chair
man Lasker OF the shipping board
and republican leaders have agreed
upon O. direct ship subsidy Of about
$50, 900, 900 annually will cause no
surprise to those who have watched
the steady re.enthronement of special
privilege by the Harding administra-
tion.
The proposed ship subsidy, some
phases of the merchant marine situa-
tion together with Illuminating facts
concerning the operations Of the shop
ping board were recently discussed by
Representative Ewin l.. Davis, (demo-
crat, Tennessee), a member Of the
committee on merchant marine and
fisheries.
After he has been chairman Of
the shipping board for six months,
Chairman Lasker practically admits
that he cannot put our merchant ma
rine on a successful basis, and the
only alternative is for the government
to step in and pay the difference be-
tween the cost of operation and a
profit" said Mr.. Davis. THAT is
what the private shippers have bepn
seeking for years, but Chairman Las.
ker is the first high government Off
cial who boldly championed their
cause since the days of Mark Hanna
OF Chairman Lasker 3 proposal to
sell our merchant ships to private
owners and then grant them a sub
sidy large enough to insure a profit,
Mr.. Davis said:
well, l suppose you could sell al
most anything under similar condl'
tions, but it is better to give away
our ships and lose every dollar we
have got in them than to commit the
, government to a permanent ship sub
sidy proposition which would cost us
many times what we would get for
our ships"
| Mr.. Davis also reviewed the history
of the American merchant marine
from the days Of the golden era when
the American clippers were the pride
Of the seas, carrying from rs to 81
per cent Of our imports and exports
and showed that the decline to 81 pei
cent in 1910, the low water mark
was due chiefly to the republican
high protective tariff-the wreck OF
great industry which was always
promoted. fostered and built up under
democratic policies and administra
| tions.
