in His Letter to Congress
man Henry.

Washington, Oct. l2.-The plan for
direct federal aid to cotton growers
O the extent Of 100000, 600 was the
subject Of sharp criticism in a letter
to Representative Henry Of Texas.
made public by Secretary McAdoo.
The letter is in reply to recent state
ments to the house by Air. Henry.
Calls Scheme Impractical.
Mr.. McAdoo announces that the
proposal to sell $685. coo, 900 Of Pan
anna canal bonds to bolster the cot
ton crop is not practicable. He calls
attention to the fact that those who
deal in tobacco, naval stores. copper,
silver and other commodities. have
sought government aid.
IF we disregard every suffering in
terest except cotton" he said, and
make it the sole beneficiary of Govern
Democratic principles Of equal rights
for all, special privileges TO none?
Would Have to Aid All.
If we enter upon the course YOU
suggest you must help every distress
ed industry impartially."
Representative Henry introduced IN
the house IA compromise loan PROPOSE
ton which would reduce the proposed
loan to $250,O00, 900.
While Mr.. McAdoo was writing his
letter. the committee Of St. Louis Job
bers and bankers. headed by +. J..
Wade, was in conference with a com
mittee of the federal reserve board
over the proposed $3.50, 600 900 cotton
loan fund to take care Of the surplus
cotton crop. No decision was reach
ed.
Much Aid Already Extended.
Mr.. McAdOO's letter to Mr.. Henry
went exhaustiyely into the aid so lar
extended by the ~treasurys to national
banks in the cotton states, showing
that it has issued to them since the
war begun sGS, 000, 900 in currency:
that its crop funds there amount TO
Sl1 $4,000; that its regular deposits
in the South total $16,065. 000. and that
there is available for southern banks
in compliance with law. $15l.O 90, 900
more IN additional national bank cur
rency.
Inquiry Held irretrievable.
What is really wanted" said the
letter, is n restored market for cot
ton. The value of cotton has been in
jured this year by the European war.
This injury cannot be retrieved nor
more than the injury 10 corr which
was caused by drought last year in
