Absorption of the Bulk of India's Exports: Now Turning to Uganda's Supplies London, July 23. the "Daily Telegraph," drawing Mr. Hyslop Bell, in a letter to
attention to the desirability of the encouragement of Empire cotton-growing, emphasises the spectacular increase in Japan's demands for raw cotton, and points out that last year she secured nearly 70 per cent. of the Indian exports of cotton, whereas the United Kindom only took 9 per cent. He declares that Japan has now turned her atten~ tion to buying cotton from Uganda.
Mr. Bell considers that it should be stipulated that Government support for the improvement of cotton crops in the Colonies should be accompanied by a pro-visa that the exported crop should first go to satisfy British requirements.—Reuter.
