GERMAN COTTON
FIRMS PROSPER
More Looms Whirring Than
in Pre-War Days.
RU United Press

BIZ United Press
BERLIN, July 6.-Approximately
100000 looms. as many as there
were at work in the pre-war German
Empire, are whirring in the smaller
German Republic of today.
No other European country can
boast of a similar increase in cot
ton-looms. The latest industrial
census in Germany showed that the
cotton industry possessed 10,400,O 900
looms. Compared with previous
census in 1924, that meant an in
crease of over a million looms.
During the corresponding period
England increased the number of
its looms by $4,000, France by 1872
600, Italy by $4,000, Poland by 274,-
600, Belgium by 10000 and Czecho-
Slovakia by 100000. In other words
the increase of looms In Germany
was higher than that in the last
five countries combined and almost
twice as high as in England alone.
All these 100000 are whirring
at high speed. The German cotton
industry is employed to its full
capacity and the exports of manu-
facttred cotton goods from Germany
are still increasing.
There is, however, some apprehen-
sion as to whether this favorable
situation will continue. Artificial
silk is becoming serious conf
petitor of the German cotton indus
try. Meeting this rival through
cutting down prices is out of the
question, according to German cot
ton manufacturers. They claim
that they have already shaved their
profit margin as closely as possible.
