In view of the possibility of cotton growing in the Philippines and the insufficiency in the supply of cotton in this country and other parts of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, it is our duty to endeavour to attain self-sufficiency in cotton in the Philippines so as to supply the need of the people for clothing in order to assure the welfare of the nation and to rehabilitate Philippine economy. Therefore, aU the Filipinos, officials and people, should never be discourage by some hardships met during this year, which is the first year in the large-scale cultivation of cotton in this country, but try to do all that is in their power to attain selfsufficiency in the supply of this staple product in close collaboration between them. If we can produce cotton in this country more than necessary to meet the local demand, we have ready markets for this commodity in other countrie in the Co-Prosperity Sphere, which will contribute not a little toward the reconstruction of Philippine economy.
