Dorr, president of the Cotton Textile Institute, has accus ed the secretary of misrepresenting ,he attitude of the cotton manufac urPrs in his Atlanta speech Satur day night. The textile situation was given an international twist yesterday when ,he Japanese foreign office issued a statement, in Tokio accusing Aru ban commercial interests of at tempting to influence Lattn-Ameri tan countries to restrict Japanese imports, and warning that such ac iion might, have a serious effect on exports of American raw cotton to Japan. Predicts Disaster. Closure of every cotton textile mill in New England in six months, Governor James M Curley said ves- < terday was 'almost a certainty” un less the federal government immed iately aided the Industry.

Several other minor items are to >e considered before the bill can be >laced on its readings, which may le reached Monday or Tuesday. Revenue Bill Short. As it now stands the revenue bill vill fall from one and a half to two nillion dollars short of the appre ciations bill, as already passed by he house, and at any step the enate may seek to reinstate the tax in the nine basic food items, or may vait until the bill goes to confer nce, since the house is not expected o adopt outright the changes made >v the senate. Also, tire Hill liquor control bill iroponents may bring forward that neasure, now awaiting action by he senate, as a means of produc ing revenue to fir in the admitted rap. While still uncertain, it would cem that this measure would have nore chance of passage if the reve lue gap remains.
