Britain to Develop
Sudan Cotton Industry
To Offset Shortage

LONDON, Jan. Sin view of the
threatened shortage Of American
cotton for the Lancashire mills and
the resulting serious position in
which England's textile industry is
likely to be placed, British official
circles are directing considerable at
tention to development schemes in
the Sudan by which it is estimated
Egypt's annual production of long
staple cotton can soon be increased
10000 bales.
A loan is about to be issued, guar
anteed by the British government,
to provide funds for the construc-
ton of a 217-mile extension of thes
Sudan railways to Kassala in order,
to make possible the expansion of
the cotton growing area in the delta
of the River Cash, at the same time
opening eastern Sudan for the ex-
port of cereals and cattle. =
Within a few years of the OPEN
ing of the railway extension, 1t is
stated that 100000 acres Of cotton
will be grown annually. and even
tually a considerably larger area will
be cultivated in this district.
A further loan is soon to be raised
to finance the building of dam at
Makawar, on the Blue Nile, and
canal system for the irrigation and
development Of a large cotton area
in the FL Gezira district, south of
Khartoum. Contracts for this work
have been let, and the first crop
will be planted in 1925. The Ell
Gezira scheme is capable of the de-
velopment of 100000 acres, but It
is to be limited to 100000 acres for
the present.

cRsS|NCER TO HEAD
], 6. RESERVE BOARD:
SOUTH TO GET PLACE
President Harding Is Said
to Favor Man From South
ern States for Vacancy in
Federal Reserve System

WASHINGTON. Jan, Sd. Il.
Crissinger, the present comptroller
of the currency, will be nominated as
governor of the federal reserve board
within few days, according to in
formation in high administration cir
cles today.
MIR. Crissinger will succeed to the
place made vacant by retirement of
former Governor w. p. G. Harding.
1t appeared from information oo'
tainable from administration officials
today that President Harding. has
not decided whom he would name
to take the place of comptroller OF
the currency which would be va
Gated by Mr.. Crissinger's appoint
ment TO the reserve board.
The president also was said to
have not yet decided upon man
to fill the vacancy as a member OF
the reserve board representing agri-
culture, provision for which was
made in a law enacted some months
ago. 1t was said that the president
felt he should appoint man from
the south or southwest, but had
gone no further toward a decision.
Former Governor Harding, who
came to Washington from Birming-
ham Ala. was the southern mem
Der of the board. His term expired
in August, and since then Vice Gov
ernor Platt has been acting COVER
nor. Mr.. Harding's name had been
frequently mentioned for reappoint-
ment, but yesterday when it became
known that lie had made plans to
enter private busienss he was def
nitely eliminated as a possibility.
Mr.. Crissingcr, whose home is in
Marion, Ohio, for years has been a
close personal friend of President
Harding. He is a lawyer by profess
sion, but has served as bank presi-
dent and has made a particular
study of financial questions. He was
at one time a Democratic nominee
for congress, but he actively sup
ported the Republican national
ticket in the 1920 campaign.
