Egyptian Product Not Likely to:

Watching the Game
By Winsor M.-Cav.
LONDON, April 25.—Protection for
cotton trade of Lancaster, by fos-
rinR the supply of cotton indepen
dent of America, was the gist of
, don ,-llor Lloyd George’s argument
„ n introducing in the House of Com-
i, ms a resolution permitting the Brlt-
.„ Government to guarantee a Sudan
, 0 t $15,000,000 for the develop-
’ 0 f cotton growing along the
Nile.
The chancellor of the Exchequer
-narked that occasional difficulties
,,-itli regard to supplies of American
tton. arising from the market being
■ ornered and thus causing a short
age here despite abundant crops,
made it necessary to foster the
growth of cotton where it would be
under British control.
Egyptian cotton, he claimed, was
better from the point of view of the
manufacturer because of the quality
of the goods obtained from that prod
uct. and also better from the point of
view of the workman, because it was
cleaner and more healthful to work
;han American cotton.
The resolution was adopted with
out division.
Millions Spent by Europe.
With the $15,000,000 Sudan loan,
England will have spent Si 7.347,859 in"
attempts to become independent ot
the cotton fields of the Southern flut
ed States. Germany and France com
bined have spent about $1,000,000 in
the same way. and Russia has pour
ed out money like water for irri
gation projects in Asiatic possessions,
where cotton is grown. These figures
include not only Governmental ex
penditures. hut also funds raised by
spinners.
The United States raises something
like three-quarters of the world's cot-
ten rop The great cloth industries
of Europe are absolutely dependent
upon the American farmer. A short
crop, or manipulation in the futures
markets, has made the European
manufacturers pay "through the nose
time and again.
The attitude of the Southern cotton
men in the face of the desperate at-
•cinpts to grow an important quantity
of cotton elsewhere is “we should
worry.”

S7.III IN NOTES TY COBB SIGNS
Postal Authorities Search for a
Registered Letter Sent From
Washington, Ga., April 13. ‘
NO TRACE OF PACKET FOUND
Lost or Stolen Between Starting
Point and Crawfordville While
En Route to Atlanta.
Two registered letters sent from the
postoffice in Washington, Ga., on April
13, containing negotiable papers, thir
teen of them sent to an Atlanta bank,
approximating $7,000, have been re
ported as lost or stolen In transit and
an investigation is on by the postal
authorities' to fix the blame.
The more valuable of the two let
ters, containing the thirteen notes,
was sent to the Fourth Nation
al Bank of Atlanta by one of
the Washington banking institutios
tor discount and credit. When ac
knowledgment was not received from
the Atlanta correspondent in regular
course by the Washington bank a
tracer was started, which developed
the fact that the registered letter had
never reached its destination.
Postmaster Poche, of Washington,
was in his office for the first train
leaving Washington on the molding
of April 13—Sunday—and was a wit
ness to the fact that the registered
letters were dispatched from the
Washington office by one of the clerks.
The registered mail with three let
ters for Crawfordville, the first sta
tion on the Georgia Railroad from the
junction at Barnett, it is claimed,
was done up in a package together,
according to the postal regulation
known as “bracing,” and addressed:
“Georgia Train No. 1— local package.'*
It has developed that one of the let
ters addressed to sX bank at' Craw-
foniv-illo and emtainipg
cash items amounting to more than
$250 was also missing from the pack
age.
This is the first instance in four
teen years of the loss of a pifece of
registered mail handled either in the
outgoing or incoming mail of the
Washington postoffice.

President Navin will see to it that
Cobb is reinstated by the National

Representative Willis, of Ohio,
Makes It Part of Tariff
Discussion.
WASHINGTON, April 25. The edi
torial by William Randolph Hearst on
the Federalists ideas and the tariff
views of President Wilson has been
put into The Congressional Record by
Representative Willis, of Ohio.
Twice Democratic leaders defeated
Mr. Willis in his effort to have the
editorial printed in The Congressional
Record so that it might have the
broadest possible circulation in con
nection with the tariff discussion.
Representative Hardwick (Georgia)
was the first to object, and later Rep
resentative Fitzgerald frustrated Mr.
Willis.
Mr. Willis, however, obtained per
mission to address the House for one
minute. He announced he desired to
have the editorial printed as a part of
his remarks. There was no comment
as the stenographer took the printed
copy.
