LONDON, Dec. 1. (By mall) A
world wide cotton famine will follow
the close of the war, according to
Professor John A. Todd, department
of economics, University College, Not
tingham. He urges Great Britain to
develop new fields in India, Egypt and
the Soudan. He reasons that the tem
porary fall In prices at the beginning
of the war curtailed cotton promotion
and that the renewed demand at the
close of the war, combined with a
short acreage, will cause the famine.
Russia, be says, has shown her wls-
don In developing cotton fields In
Turkestan and Trans-Caucasia, which
adequately supply her. Germany has
done the same thing in the Levant, to
a certain extent. Both the quality
and quantity of cotton for Great Brit
ain can be added to in India-, Egypt
and the Soudan, he says, adding that
cotton growing Is a good business to
get Into now.

ale) were aworn In. Of the former
116 and of the latter nine were new,

of the now congress today was" tho
shadow of national and world polities.
Tomorrow tho administration's pro
gram will bo outlined personally by
President Wilson when he reada his

Its known, big, outstanding features
are: National defense, revenue, war
measures and government ship pur
chase. There la a Bases) of other legislation
comprising the largest, longest and
most Important program of a decade.
Since the adjournment of the sixty
third congress last March a score of
new and vital questions have arisen
In addition to many left over. Con
tinuation of this session until well
into next summer Is predicted by vet
eran legislators.
There were the usual mammoth
crowds In both senate and house gal
leries, representing the eyes of a hun
dred million Americans. Today's
actual business was confined to the

organisation of both houses and noti
fication of the president of the now
legislative epoch.

officials and spectators were sobered
by the gigantic tasks looming ahead.
Vice President Marshall presided In
the senate, and South Trimble, house
clerk, in the lower house, pending
Speaker Clark's election. After tho
routine tasks both bodies adjourned
until tomorrow to await the presi
dent's message, according to ancient
and legal precedent.
