(VMRU PRISi ASMCIAHON.—CfPTRIMT.)
(ACITRAUAN - NEW ZIALAN> CAILI ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, 3rd March. Lord Beatfcy and Sir Bennell Bodd (Ex-Ambassador to Italy) have joined the Australian Cotton Association. Both are interested in the movement as providing' a now avenue for the settlement of ex-service men in Australia. Mr. Armstrong has approached Sir Joseph Cook, with a view to securing Australia's inclusion, in the Empire scheme, which originally was confined to coloured labour countries. The Empire Cottongrowing Association has been asked to guarantee Is 6d per lb for natural rain-fall-grown lint and 2s for irrigation grown. If the industry is thus guaranteed, in a few years every State in Australia will be capable of economic production. Contingent offers are made to erect a factory in Australia to utilise waste fißre in the manufacture of writ-ing-paper, and a movement is afoot to erect seed-crushing mills for oil production. . ,
