THE COTTON PROBLEM
FURTHER OUTSPOKENNESS. Received July 28, 12.40 a.m. London, July 27. In the House of Comfnons, -Major Hunk urged that cotton should be declared contraband. The Government ought to cease fighting with the gloves on, and dißallow cotton reaching Germany foi the manufacture of munitions. Lord Robert Cecil said it was incred i,bly offensive to observe the way thi Government was permitting and en couraging Germany to get ammunition. It was an essential part of our policy to prevent cotton reaching Germany. A declaration that it was contraband enabled confiscation when it was designed for the enemy, hut then we would not be entitled to stop cargoes under the conditions now operating.
