FRANCE WILL
RAISE OWN
COTTON

~ ARIS-A tremendous effort
is to be made by the French
= - ministry of agriculture, COM
bining with the ministry of
colonies, to render France less de-
pendent on American cotton.
At present Europeans are at
the absolute mercy Of the Amer
lean cotton crop, which represents
81 per cent of the total crop of
the world. In 1909 the proportion
was 1913 per cent. Britain. in
India and elsewhere, grows 81
per cent of the cotton used.
These facts are revealing to
those holding before the Amer
lean people the DOGGY of Europe
refusing to buy United States
products. In the case of cotton,
as in that of copper, Europeans
are forced to purchase even more
than they did in 1909.
The extreme Importance Of
Frances new effort may be un.
derstood when it is recalled that
cotton forms 81 per cent of cloth
ing material and Al per cent of
material for munitions of war.
Prof. Gabrielle F'laVeau stated
before the College of France re-
Gently that America could stop
any war on earth by simply put
ting an embargo on cotton and
copper export.
The French response to this
situation has been the exhaustive
survey OF Algeria, Morocco, Tu-
nisia and Cochin China, with q
view to finding suitable areas for
the growth of cotton. Govern
ment assistance will be given to
pioneer planters.
