World-wide trend towards
establishment of modern and
highly efficient cotton textile
plants, especially in the thickly
populated areas of Africa
and Asia, was a point of special
attention by Mr. Montgomery
in his report on his
year-long tour of textile industries
of four continents.
These thickly populated
areas of Africa and Asia, he
pointed out, formerly were
very heavy consumers of cotton
cloth manufactured in the
old-established European textile
industry.

Threat To Europe
With mills in the African
and Asian countries producing
more and more of their
own textile needs, he said that
it raises a threat that the
older European mills will
seek more actively to have
their products exported to the
American market ? which is
already hard hit bv Japanese
imports.
If imports of Europeanmade
goods, produced much
more cheaply than cloth can

Two Famous
Wrong Guesses
A 6-vear-old lad came home
one day with a note from his
teacher, in which it was suggested
that he be taken out
of school, as he was "too
stupid to learn." The boy's
name was Thomas A. Edison.
Benjamin Franklin's mother-in-law
hesitated at letting
her daughter marry a printer.
There were already two printing
offices in the United
States, and she feared that
the country might not be able
to support a third.
