(Received 12th October, 10 a.m.) LONDON, 11th October. Lord Derby, addressing the annual meeting of the Empire Uotton-growing Corporation, declined to discuss the question of preference, but expressed the opinion that whatever was done to extend cotton-growing in the Dominions must be not merely advantageous to them but of the greatest advantage to Britain. He pointed out that white labour will bs impossible in many parts of the' Empire, and he therefore urged the corporation to encourage natives to grow cotton of the best type under the superintendence of experts. He believed that eventually , all Britain's cotton requirements would come from the Dominions.
