1911 Crucial
Textile Year

New York, Feb. l7.-l941 will be
a crucial year in the history Of the
American textile industry, according
to Douglas G.. Woolf. editor Of Tex
tile World, writing in the Annual
Review and Forecast Number Of that
publication, just out, 1t Will mark
the transition between the actually
of textile depression and the pos
sibllity Of textile progression.
Analysing the prospect, Mr., Woolf
states.
The possibility of progression is
history. Daring most Of the last two
decades, textile manufacture has
been a sick industry. 1t was sick long
before American business took TO
its bed in 1929. 1t has had its re-
~coveries. but they have been abOr-
tive ones, followed immediately by
disastrous relapseS. Only IN the years
1889 and 1910 was there anything
like a sustained forward movement
and that was due almost entirely
to external influences. the European
war and the national defense pro-
gram.
"The possibility of progression is
history which is still to be written.
Those same two impulses-ar and
defense-dominate the textile scene
today, just as they do the situation
in all American industries, The X
tent to which they will be capitaliz-
ed as stepping-stones to future pro-
gress will be determined largely by
the policies which will set the key
note in l94l. That IS why 1871 Will
be a crucial year

Loyal To The Axis

In the face of the singing defeat suffered
at the hands of the British in North Africa,
the reverses in Albania, and the damage done
to the Italian fleet, the Fascist council of
has declared it's ''unshakable deci-
sion to continue the fight until victory"
These are brave words. They are also sig
nificant, in view of the fact that both Prime
Minister Churchill and President Roosevelt
have cherished the hope that Italy might be
won away from the Axis. They tell us that as
far as the Fascis: party is concerned there
is no chance of negotiations for a separate
peace,
It may be that the hearts of italian soldiers
are not in this struggle 1t may be that the
Italian people are ready now to accept any
honorable terms. But the Fascist party still
holds tight it's group and so far there is no lead
ership capable of uniting sentiment against it.
