Plan to Close Cotton Market In Britain Given Approval
The British Labour government wins House of Commons approval 291 to 144 for a wartime policy to keep the Liverpool cotton exchange closed and to operate a state commission for bulk raw cotton buying. Sir Stafford Cripps says profits fund reserves or price relief for spinners, with projected commission profits near 100 million dollars this year and total purchases of 840 million dollars to stockpile about 1.8 million bales by March. Critics call the plan risky and unfavorable to private traders, warning of distorted markets and inflated profits.
