The only thing to be done to prepare the wry for meeting this difficulty wag to aroure interest in the de velopment of new cotton felda within the Empire, especially in India, Egyp), and the Badan. Every penny invested dow will be a profitable investment for the future.”- After the war we shall Want, not merely a Brit'éh cotton growing association, with a cap ital of £500,009, but an organies- tion with the comtined resources of the British Empire bébind it,
