GOVERNMENT AID TO ERECT = COTTON MILL IN THE SOUTH

Washington, October 26.-(SpeciaI. Hans for the government to advance either directly from the treasury or through the banks s50o,o00, 900 to hus- mess men of the south to erect eo,- ton mills in that section was conceived today by Representative Henry nnd will he urged by him before Congress when 1t reassembies. The cotton pro- oncins section. he argued, should he made the cotton manufacturinr sec ton and he will endeayor to get beIp From the government to this end.
 Tn support of his plan, which in gem eral IS indorsed by other southerners. Henry cited the fact that the price of manufactured cotton in this country is advancing rapidly although the price of the raw staple continued to decline. Europe is buying manufactured cotton goods instead of taking the raw ma terial for it's own nils and for that reason the consumer in the United stetes is paying more while the pro ducer of raw cotton Is obliged to sell below the cost of production.
 Effect of Noncontraband
 Nor do Henry and other southern congressman still in town believe that the export of cotton will be material ly increased through placing the staple at the head of the noncontraband list by all the belligerent nations. The peo- pie abroad, he says, want the finished product and not the raw material while the American mills will not be able to handle anything like the amount usually absorbed by European mills

working capital. Bolivia has through its representatives here reached tentative agreement with an important interna- t.onal banking house. If this agreement be perfected and if the government al Washington looks with favor upon the proposition then this banking house will finance the bond issue. There is no stock to be issued, nor is there to be any ap- peal to the public for financial support The interests of Bolivia in the proposi- ton, if it be perfected, will be committed to one of the large trust companies which will act as a trustee for Bolivia Therefore Bolivia and the bankers whc are to finance the bonds will act in CO operation with respect to this smelling plant and the marketing of pig tin. There is no question about finding market in the United State for all of the pig tir this smeltlng plant can produce. For 1t Is believed that the pig tin can be put upon the market at a less price than the English smelters have been demand ing for their pig tin.
 Why the Governments Moral Support Bolivia deemed 1t imperative that there should be assurance that the federal gov ernment would favor the plan and give to 1t such moral support as might prop erly be given. For the undertaking is so far as Bolivia is concerned to be na- tional. The title to the smelting plant is to be in the Bolivian government. Sc that a foreign government would be ir the position of buying land in the United States and building upon 1t appropriate works for carrying on great industry Therefore 1t was deemed not only mat ter of courtesy but even of necessity tc ask that there be assurance that the federal government at Washington would find nothing to criticise in this plan, bu, Instead would signify it's. approval oi it.
 The consu! general of Bolivia, Mir. At water, who is also in intimate relations With the international banking house mich is prepared to finance the bond issue, is believed to have received at Washington all the encouragement which he hoped for There may be more formal acknowledgment of the friendly view of the United States to this proposition hut it is the understanding here that when this has been secured Bolivia will immediately cause bonds to be issued which will be financed by the interna- tional banking house-a proposition which is not difficult since the amount involved land will be bought. a suitable plant constructed. skilled artisans employed and shipments of tin ore from Bolivia to the United States will begin. The out look is favorable to the establishment in this way in the United States of a' new and important industry through which there may be enlargement of our trade relations with Bolivia.

even though the American mills work at full pressure. On the other hand, op- tinistic views on the cotton situation we're expressed by President Wilson and W. F G. Harding of the federal re- serye board voiced belief that the price of raw cotton would stiffen. The recent bankers and business men $ agreement to accept cotton as collateral at cents a pound. said men in the treasury department, would have a stre ngthening influence and they be- lieve that the south soon will be re- lieved.
 Expects an Increase
 At his conference with the newspa- DOT correspondents President Wilson said that he now expected the export of raw cotton to increase substantially. An increase already to be noted. he said, although this was extremely small when compared with the enormous amount of cotton left on the pro- ducers' hands through the war still it was an increase and he expected 10 see 1t swell in short time. Just how much the pressure would be relieved through England's agreement to let cotton go into Germany, the President declined to estimate, not knowing. he said, the amount normally taken by Germany or to be taken by it in tha present time of distress.
 Also he expressed belief that the in stitution of the federal reserve sys- tenn next month would have bene- ficiai effect The trouble. he said, was not a shortage of money; there is plenty of ready cash for the producers. he explained, but the problem was 10 find price as basis for loans en the staple It is known here that the financiers of the administration look largely to Mir. Harding for counsel and advice and he may have much to to with shaping the course toward relief
