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.” Causes Only a Smile.
