 This warning Is now echoed by Captain c. s, Burnham in a book on Cotton Growing in the British Empire and Exotic Countries"
 There Is a world shortage of millions Of bales Of cotton of the American yarieties." the author says. This shortage and prohibi- tive prices confront the Lancashire industry. and that Of all other coun- tries, with a crisis of which the gravity can only be compared with the cotton famine brought about by the American Civil war"
