COTTON.
INDUSTRY IN CRITICAL STATE
BY CABLE—PEESS ASSOCIATION-COPYEIGHT
(Received Sept. 21, 10.50 a.m.) LONDON, Sept. 20. Mr Bertram Lee, chairman, addressing the shareholders of the Calico Printers' Association., said that the cotton industry was now in a most serious condition. It had nothing to gain from any system of tariffs, and it would be commercial madness for Britain to start a tariff campaign against foreign countries in order to give preference to the Dominions, which were expressly determined to maintain tariffs against us. The Dominions' demand for preference resolved itself into a proposal that Britain submit to a tax on imported foodstuffs in order that the Dominion producers may obtain higher prices.—Aus.-N.Z.
