GENERAL ASSEMBLIES.
ASK GOVERNMENT AID TO BROADEN SOURCE
OF SUPPLY OF RAW MATERIAL.
Delegation from Lancashire Waits on Premier Campbell-
’i Bannerman, and Urges i Necessity for Doing Some
thing to Lessen Dependence on America.
LONDON, May 17.—A large and important dele
gation from the cotton industry in Lancashire inter
viewed Premier Campbell-Bannerman today relative to
the necessity of opening new sources of supply. The
deputation emphasized the fact that the cotton trade is
in a dangerous condition, that Great Britain is depend
ent on America for three-quarters of her supply of raw
material, and that it is absolutely necesssary to broaden
the sources of supply. The only possible salvation, it
declared, lies in North Nigeria, but railawys are indis-
pensible there.
The Premier was very sympathetic, but refused to
commit the government by promises. He was ready,
however, to consider a scheme for railroad construction
involving reasonable goverrimental aid.
