London, Feb. 20.

Leaders of both sides of the British cotton industry today met the President of the Board of Trade, Mr Peter Thorney- croft, and asked him to impose restrictions on the import of cheap, duty-free cloth from Hongkong and India.

A statement issued afterwards said Mr Thorneycroft "recognised that the industry had made out a strong case.”

policy "particularly at this time" by
