The results of the second of the series of the Championship Baces are follows:

***

Owing to the temporary fall in prices at the beginning of the war the production of cotton all over the world was very much curtailed. But the world's surplus stocks have now been to a considerable extent worked off, and any revival of normal. trade after the war coming upon the re duced supplies of raw material will, it is pointed out, aloost certainly produce u severe cotton famine

Only one thing can be done to prepare the way for mecting this difficulty when it arlac, namely, to arouse interest in the development of new cotton fields within the Empire, especially in India, Egypt and the Sudan, where the work of the Bri- tish Cotton Growing Association and the International Cotton Federation has ul.

ROYAL HONGKONG YACHT CLUB ready shown the way. Russia has shown her windota in developing cotton fields in Turkestan and Transcaucasia, which now supply the greater part of her large native consumption of cotton. Germany in her. own sphere of influence in the Levant, has it must be admitted, produced large res sults. That is a point to be remembered in the inevitable re-arrangement of the Turkish Empire after the war, as is also, potential cotton field, which will probably the fact that in Mesopotamia we have a

rival Egypt and the Sudan in quality an well as quantity. But the greatest possibi. lities for an immediate increase in our cot- ton supplies lie in India, where great im- provements both in quality and quantity have been made in recent years,

Every penny that the British Empire invests now in cotton growing, either in education or in irrigation, will Professor Todd considers, be a profitable investment for the future, and the sooner the invest. ment is made, the greater, as well as the quicker, will be the return. What we shall want after the war is not merely Bri- tish Cotton Growing Association with a capital of a paltry £500,000, but m organisation of the size of a State Depart- ment, with all the combined resonens of the British Empire behind it.
