The South's Serious Situation.

10 the Edit0r Of The Star:
The average southern cotton grower
is indebted to the general storekeeper
to an amount averaging about $50 for
every bale of cotton grown in 1914.
The general storekeepcr is indebted to
the bank to an average of $50 for each
such bale. No one will buy the cotton, so
the former cannot pay the general
storekeeper, who in turn cannot pay
the banker. The storekeeper's shelves
are empty. He has no flour, sugar, cof
fee, shoes or shirts for sale in his
store. and no money with which to buy
them The storekeeper cannot repay
his accommodations at the bank. so
that the banker can lend him no more,
nor can he supply the funds to meet
the pay roll at the cotton factory. the
foundry or the ice plant. These are
shut down and the workmen have lost
their purchasing power The general
storekeeper needs to buy flour from
shoes from Boston, shirts from New
York and every other article that the
northern factories produce. But he
cannot buy until he gets his cotton
money. Today nearly every northern
house has withdrawn its statesmen from
southern territory, and whatever or de-
preston for northern industry exists
must be attributed to the locked wheels
of industry and commerce in the cotton
states.
Further. the balance of foreign trade
is against the nation solely because of
lotion stagnation. The balance of trade
s not sectional question, but involves
ilike the prosperity of every state in
he union. Is it not to the interest of
he whole nation that this deadlock be
Unlocked and that the government help
0 furnish the key? j. P. FYFFE.

Last wear the Commissioners were
