THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY
Warning On Textiles

Hugh Conner, president of the American
Cotton Manufacturers Association, forsees the
danger of destructive competition in post
war world markets from 'lend-leases coun-
tries that we have helped to retool'
The warning is commended to the atten-
ton of Washington's day-dreamers. For no
man in America is better fitted to speak on
textiles in any phase of this complicated IN
dustry than Mr.. Conner. He is one of the
sons of former Governor Conner of Alabama,
pioneer in the textile industry in the South,
who trained his sons in the best traditions he
helped to create.
Hugh Conner knows cotton from boil weevl
10 bolt.
He issued his warning at the opening of the
annual convention and exhibit OF the Whole
sale Dry Goods Institute in New York last
week. He pointed his contention on postwar
perils that will result from retooling lend
lease countries by exhibiting two bolts of
chambray fabric both identical in outward
appearance, one of which he said was made
in a Southern cotton mill and the other in
Japan just prior to Pearl Harbor. He de-
clared that the low price at which the JAP
anese copy of American chambray was sold
before the war had forced the Southern tex
tile mill to shut down.
I'VE in the South are not in favor of CIV
ing machinery TO lend-leases countries and
then competing with it later on Mr.. Conner
asserted. In other words, we are willing
to share our milk with those who need milk
but we don't believe should be asked to
i've away the cow"
