Growth of Cotton in the British Colonies Debated
In the Lords on May 28 Lord Brougham urged promoting cotton growth in British colonies. The Duke of Newcastle said the government would identify suitable districts and labor supplies, and consider incentives. He warned against treating expenditures as mere waste, arguing war could still yield wealth via productive activity and arguing the empire should support cotton cultivation with proper labor. The discussion touched on imperial policy, economic theory of wartime means, and comparisons of wealth production between Britain and the United States.
