REDUCING COTTON OUT PUT

BRITAIN'S CAPACITY TO BE LOWERED

BUYING UP PLANTS

London, July The Government's Bill provdiing for reduction of excess capacity, in the spinning section of the cot ton industry has boon issued. The Bill gives effect, with few excep- tions, to the propusnis of the com- mitteo set up by the Federation of Master Cotton Spinners Asso- ciations, which were later ap proved by a large majority of master spinners.

A Spindles Board, with power to borrow £2,000,000 will be set up to buy redundant spinning plants at a price it considers acceptablo and to dispose of it by breaking up or sale, but not sale for export. It is understood that the broad aim of the Board, which is not obliged to buy nor able to compel sale of aplant, will bo to reduce the existing capacity of between 48 and 53 million spindles by about ten million.

"

Interest and amortisation of the debt incurred by the Board will be met out of a levy paid for 16 years by every colton mill with spinning machinery. whether spinning Egyptian or American cotton. It is expected that the levy will work out at one and one-sixth of ponny per mulc spindle per annum. If the proceeds of the levy should fall short of the amount necessary, the Ex- chequer is to make good the defic).' ency. New plant will be subject to back levy, and for the first three years no new plant may be set up unless equivalent plant is sur- rendered or broken up.
