"One American manufactur-
er uses 80 per cent Egyptian
cotton because he canrot get
as fine or as long cotton in this
country. There is no blinking
the facts as they exist. Amer-
ican cotton supremacy is not
only threatened but is slowly
being undermined," writes
Arthur Coleman in the current
issue of Holland's, the Maga-
zine of the South.
Amazing as it may.souml tc>
Southern people who look
upon cotton, the bulwark of
our very existance, as a matter
of course and a never ending
source of revenue, much of the
cotton now grown is absolutely

: of the 1928 crop was untender-1
able on contract because of
short staple, and more of this
' class is grown each year.
Mr. Coleman says, "For
i many years American short
cotton has been shipped to Jap-
an and Europe where it is used
in the manufacture of under-
wear, blankets, cheap rope,
twine and other commodities.
In those countries it is forced to
compete in price with cotton
from China and India. Cotton
grown with the cheapest of
cheap native labor 'Coolie'
cotton, it has come to be called.
In order to compete with this
cheap cotton, American cotton
must be cheaper.
"Particularly it must be
cheaper than Indian cotton, for
India raises a short cotton that
is the best for the uses to which
it is put to be had. There are
mills in America where do-
mestic short cotton could not
supplant India cottton if the
American cotton was given
away. India's cotton is strong-
er and better than American
short cotton. China's cotton is
better. This is not my opinion.
It is a statement of a cotton
goods manufacturer who oper-
ates one of the largest concerns,
of its kind in the country andj
whose product is nationally
recognized as one of the best.",
Mr. Coleman points out how,
and why short staple, im j
