Mr. Wu expressed the confidence raw cotton. Second, that under the supervision of the mutual help between Chinese Commission for the Rationaliza- and Japanese textile industrialists will give impetus to the develop. ment of the cotton Industry of both countries.

COTTON PROBLEM OF JAPAN

Speaking on the raw cotton problem of Japan, Mr. Wu' pointed out that she consumed about -13,550,000 piculs of raw cotton last year. Of this amount only about 1 per cent was produced in native lands, while about 50 per cent was imported from the United States, 35 per cent from India and 2 per cent from China.

China, Mr. Wu affirmed, has vast stretches

most of land suitable for the planting of cotton But as these areas have not yet

Been filly and properly developed, her present annual output of cotton, amounting to approximate- ly 10,000,000 piculs, is barely sufficient to supply her own de- mand, far the less, the vast de- mand of her neighbouring state,

However,

great realizing the possibility of increasing China's

cotton production. China organized

lon of the Cotton Industry, China's cotton felda will, within a period of 10 years, easily be increased to double of their pre- sent total area, and the annual output of cotton will be increased to at least 5,000,000 pleuls.

With the development of all of China's lands suitable for cotton growing China will, Mr. Wu con- tinued, produce sufficient cotton to supp.y Japan's total annual de- mand, which amounts to 13,000,000 piculs, or at least to replace her present import of cotton from the United States and India, amount- ing to about 1,100,000 piculs, which have to be transported for thou- sands of miles by sea

Turning to the mutual help be- tween Chinese änd Japanese tex-,

ille industrialists; Mr. Wu scouted the fear of the limited scope of development of the Sino-Japanese cotton trade in view of its recent decline. The decline, he pointed out, is due to other reasons than the power of consumption of the Chinese and Japanese, population.
