American Commercial Attache at
London Tells of Investigation
He Has Made
Washington, April 22?The world's
cotton acreage must undergo a very
marked expansion in the years to
come if the supply of raw cotton is to
keep pace with the world's needs.
Alfred P. Dennis, American commercial
attache at London, reported to
the department of commerce after an
exhaustive study of the world's capacity
for consuming cotton goods.
* A ^ OQ1/1 fVlDTP
^ At U1C piCSClllt liiiuc, uv mu) uiv -w
is a record carryover of raw cotton.
' Combined with this, there is an im,
mense amount of under-production in
the chief cotton spinning centers of
the world. There has been a marked
y setback to the purchasing power of
tiie world in the amount of cotton
-v V goods and a corresponding setback to
the production of cotton.
"It is obvious," says Mr. Dennis,
"that the world has, emerged from
the war with a production capacity of
raw cotton considerably below its requirements.
Coincidentally there has
been a marked decline in the output
V of manufactured cotton stuffs, that in
turn being? a reflection of reduced
buying power in the great cotton consuming
centers of the world.
; "With a return of the world to a
/v. . > normal state of economy, buying will
be resumed, icue Ana snort ume
looms slid spindles will be speeded
. up, and an insistent demand for raw
material may anticipated. Farsightgfj
the British
cotton trade J^gweady agitating
the question of increasing the production
of raw-cotton within the em.
.iiSKW.""
"It seems established that the need
of the world for cotton goods withiin
, t^e, near future will grow more rapjdJx.tbai!
will the extension of cotton
jjTQ^ing areas. Increase m the supjtfy
of .cotton depends very largely on
tfce finding of fresh cotton territory
and improving the strains of exist..
ing^napwn cottons*.
. : crop in America, which has
been averaging for the five years,
1895-9&, 10,000,000 hales, jumped,
ten years later or for five years, 191014,
to an Average of 13,500,000 bales.
Production in other countries also
increased. The interference must be
accepted, therefore, that through the
increase in the world's population and
through the extension of consump
tion to new markets, as well as
through the inclusion of cotton into
new utilities, such as automobile tires,
the worjd requred an increase in its
. supply of cotton. It s stated on high
authority that the world in 1914 was
in a position to absorb in manufactured
goods at least 700,000 bales of
cotton more than it consumed tfre
year before.
One of the prime factors in the
present day equation is the impoverishment
of the world. Trade with
both Russia and Germany has
amounted to little, and while the capacity
in general of central and east
ern Europe to buy cotton goods nas
not been destroyed it has been greatly
impaired.

TO PROTEST AGAINST
INCREASED PHONE RATES
Determined protests against the
collection of increased phone rates
will be made by the chamber of commerce
before the state railroad commission
Tuesday in Columbia. This
was decided upon by the board of di
rectors at a meeting last week. The
following delegates were appointed:
Dr. George B. Cromer and Wm. S.'
Matthews. Prof. Derrick, the president,
also plans to attend the hearing;
! but the official representation has
been delegated to Dr. Cromer and Mr.
Matthews.
City officials have decided to join
in the protest and Hon. E. S. Blease
will represent the municipality. It is
hoped that by concerted action of all
the chambers of commerce and muni!
cipalities throughout the state that
I the railroad commission will agree to j
' I
reverse tfte decision granting me increase,
or will defer its execution,
I '
thus allowing the representatives of
the people to present further arguments
against it.
Hearty commencjation is being
heard on every hand of the action of
the chamber. Many individual members
and prominent citizens of the
city and the county have endorsed the
position of the directors.

"He took the seal to England with
him. I have no doubt it was in his f
effects and that it now reposes some- where
