Beans and Cotton
By ERNEST MINOR PATTERSON
PRESIDENT American Academy of Political and Social Science

limited in the United States but with
the aid of Henry Ford and others il
has been found that there are many
ways of using this lovely bean and
its products in industry. IL these ideas
are really practical there will be an
enlarged demand and steadier de-
mand than in the past. How large
no one can now say with any GER
tainty.
Another interesting experiment Is
being carried on with cotton. We are
having difficulty now in selling our
cotton abroad in competition with
cotton raised in other countries. "
we could find ways of using more
cotton at home the tension would be
relieved. At present this fibre is be-
ing used in road construction. and If
this is as successful as many hope
there will be vast market created.
The new cotton-picking machines
may prove practical and other ways
may be found to lower the cost of
raising cotton. If so the new use for
the staple will be even more impor-
tant. Likewise lowered cost Of pro-
duction will make it easier to regain
our foreign markets.
1t is developments of this sort that
can make us more hopeful for the
future. Only time will tell us whether
the particular discoveries and inven.
tons just mentioned will be success
full. Either these. or others. will be.
Our scientists have done many won-
derful things and there are more to
come. There is nothing to prevent our
gaining immensely from their work
if we can solve the many economic
and political questions that are haras-
sing us.
Too few political leaders seem able
to state clearly the real issues that
are confronting us. Only here and
there do we find one who seems to
understand the changes that are GO
ing on and to be able even to state
clearly the questions that must be an
Swered.
