COTTON

'EXPORT BOUNTY?

LITTLE ENTHUSIASM IN AMERICA

INDIA WINS NEW TRADE

Washington, July 6.

The United States will not shift pre- sent cotton policies intively favour able to growers for any programme intended artificially to expand textile United manufacture and expert, a Iress canvass of expert opinion has indicated. The view among some tex tile Industrialists that the ultimate Interests of the United States lie in lower raw cotton prices and bounties to textile manufacturers and export- ers find expert opinion unresponsive.

Preponderant opinion here seems to be that the exportation of raw cotton rather than the artificiul stimulation of textile sales abroad Likely to serve the greater national cennomic interrat.

The announced intention to raise cotton textile tariffs recently pre cipitated widespread expert specula tion on brond phases of cotton policy. dur to the unofficial inference that higher tariffs against Japan might tend to discourage trans-Pacific pur- ehnsen of American raw cotton.

The theory that Japan might deli berhtoly cut purchases was discounted among authorities here on the basis of knowledge that Japan pursues a strict- ly rational policy through her textile industry, buying raw materials where chenp. for quality desired, and selling manufactured goody where market opportunities are favourable.

The unsentimental Japanese. It is generally thought, will not be swayed In their elision first" outlook by any passing displeasure over United States tariffs alley; but on the other hand current commercial factors are reported which tend to divert Japanese purchases from American to Indinn Cotton.

PRICE DIFFERENCE

The price difference between Ameri- can and Indian cotton increased from 8.28 cents (U.S.) per pound in Febru Ary to 3.10 cents (U.S.) in March. American middling sold at Osaka at an average price 6 per cent, above that of Indian-Akola, and the spred was believed sufficiently wide to in- fluence any spinners to change their mixing requirements.

Japan's imports of raw cotton in' the September-March period of the current season were 2,117,000 bales, of which 1,117,000 bales were Ameri- chu, 708,000 Indian, and 109,000 Chinese, whereas in the corresponding period of the 1934-25 season the total imports were 2.171,818 bales of which 1.165,097 were American. 752,062 were fridian and 41,501 Chinese. Japan lin also imported considerable cotton from

recent tendency of Japan to shift back to Indian cotton revived interest in the ultimate possibility of expansion in British Indian produc ton. India is an old cotton growing

not Her production since 1800 from a minimum of $12,000 bates in the 1890-1000 senson to, 5,201 000 bales in 1924-25. Experts think her peak production in event of con- -fimuse-high-price would be about.

5,500,000 bales in 10 years.

The figures

do not suggest possibility that Indian cotton would seriously displace American cotton in Japan within the predictable future, although Japaness purchases will be diverted from time to time according to prices and textile marketing con- ditions.

EXPERTS UNDECIDED

Any

In view of the foregoing situation, government experts do not concede that a situation has arisen wherein the United Sintes must immediately decide whether its brund policy should be directed preferentially to the raw cotton or the textile export trade. There is n

is a theoretical possibility that such a decision might become neces- it current agitation

among textil um greater strength. traders for export bounties

"The United Preas has canvassed expert opinion in several departments on the hypothetical desirability of en- couraging exports of raw cotton or textiles. The preponderant informal opinion was that foreign countries, beyond control of United States policy makers, already have answered that question.

Most countries of the world levy protective inrills against colton- textile imports order to encourage home manufacture, while only a few countries, erect important barriere against imparts of raw cotton. Ex- ceptions are countries such as Brazil, which have both raw, cotton and

ic and cotton-textiles industries,

is considered to make it more logleni for the United States to conserve and strengthen where possible its foreign markets for raw cotton than to force arbitrarily an expansion of textile exports,

AMERICAN ADVANTAGES

A second factor tending to orient official policy toward raw cotton rather than textiles is the favourable physical geographical situation of Amerlen, with climate and soil for growing cotton superior to most regions of the world.
