EMPIRE COTTON.
GOVERNMENT DEVELOPMENT SCHEME. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, June 8. Lord Derby, addressing the British Dotton Growing Association in Manchester, said that Britain’s relatione with the colonies were changing; they were passing from being dependencies to become colleagues and allies. They were looking to Mr. Churchill to effect the change without friction, a task in which he believed Mr. Churchill’s qualities would Help. Lord Derby said that, although the progress of the development of Empire button had been constant, it had been only on a small scale, the whole product amounting only to 2f per cent, of Lancashire’s requirements. Britain’s 20 years’ neglect of her tropical colonies had been extraordinary. The Government had,now decided to devote one million from the war time share of the Egyptian cotton profits to foster Empire cotton-growing. This would replace the £50,000 subvention promised to the Cotton-Growing Corporation.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
