Abstract
I AM obliged for the opportunity given me to read Dr. Lawrence Balls's reply tomy review in NATURE of February 26 of the report issued by the Committee on Cotton-Growing within the British Empire, appointed by the Board of Trade. Dr. Balls seems to me, in the main, to admit my contention, namely, that the Committee's report, as it stands, does not resolve itself into a concrete scheme of increased and improved production of cotton. In fact, it may be said to be unfortunate that the Committee did hot anticipate such criticisms as mine by giving the public some hint of the possible future stages of its operations. The public were anxiously awaiting a full scheme, and one that would give distinct prospect of success, but in place of getting such we are now told we have only seen (as it were) the first instalment, and must look for better results in the future.
