while the temporary depression on
account OF the low price Of cotton Is
apparent, the optimistic feeling of the
people is very much in evidence. To
my mind confidence begets confidence
and If this optimism is carried on for
another thirty days theer will be some
means Of relief formulated by the
great 1nanciers and government offi-
cials of the country that will give relief
in large measure to the cotton country.
After all is said and done cotton
forms the basis of our foreign ex-
change, and until we get cotton NOV
ing and foreign exchange established,
we are going to be in the dumps. The
recent movement toward establishing

tribution Of 800, 900, 900 in gold by the
various national banks of the coun-
try is the first step; aHJ when we

to come to this country will be at

Unstinted praise for Pensacola from

that the war has had on a city like
this, so much interested in the export

Washington, Oct. 18.-President Will
son made public today a letter to
Majority Leader Underwood of the
house in which he reviewed the
achievements of his administration,
outlined the program for the next ses-
sion of congress, and declared "the
Democratic party is now in fact the
only instrument ready to the country's
hand by which anything can be ac-
complished.''
The president wrote the letter as an
endorsement of all Democratic MEM
bers of congress in lieu of speeches
he said he would like to make in every
congressional district. He predicted
victory for his party in the elections
because "every thoughtful man sees
that a change of parties just now
would set the clock back not forward, -
and because "a practical nation is not
likely to reject such a team, full OF the
spirit of public service, and subs.i-
tute, in the midst of great tasks, either
a party upon which a deep demoraliza-
ton has fallen, or a party which has
not grown to a stature that would war
rant it's assuming the responsible bur
dens of the state"

COLLECTIONS DIFFICULT.


"Collections throughout South Amer
ica, therefore, are difficult. Orders are
falling off and there seems less pros
pect for new business after this year
unless steps are taken To relieve the
situation
From the standpoint of the mutual
interest of the Latin American repub-
lies and ourselves" the report ana
lyzes the present problems as fol-
lows:
Because Of the war Latin American
countries are confronted by the neces-
sity of marketing their products, de-
spite the shrinkage Of world purchas
ing power and of obtaining funds to
move crops and to continue indispen
sable industrial and agricultural de-
velopment normally financed by Eu-
rope.
The United states is confronted by
the necessity Of holding its normal
export trade with Latin-AmeriCa and
by the possibility OF increasing that
trade by filling Latin-American needs
for merchandise hitherto purchased in
Europe, which Europe cannot now sup
ply.
THE solution of these problems de-
pends upon production, and upon
financing of production, transpOrta-
tion and settlements.
production in the United States can
be maintained # there be a sufficient
market at home and abroad FOR
American goods. Production in South
America may continue but cannot be
further developed unless financial as
sistance be obtained.
Before trade can resume it's normal

solved, either by restoration Of old,
or by establishment of new credit fa-
cilities.
The question of creating a market
for Latin American securities in the
United States is highly important. The
development Of our trade with those
countries is largely dependent on its
satisfactory solution. Unless the re
striction of commercial credits be rem
edied, however, we Will not be able TO
extend our trade, but we will lose
considerable portion Of that which we
already have"

Industries of United States

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, oct. 1S.-The Industries
Of the United States will be injured
seriously by loss Of Latin-American
trade if the restriction of commercial
credits is not remedied, in the opinion
of the Latin american Trade Com
mittee, whose report was issued lere
today. The committee expressed the
hope that banks will extend accommo"
dation sufficient at least to assure
maintenance of existing trade. Secre-
tary w. c. RedfeId of the Department
Of Commerce appointed the commit
tee, which is headed by James A. Far
reIl chairman of the National Foreign
Trade Council.
Even before the war the committee
found that exports OF the United
States had fallen off on account of the
financial stringency in South America
OF present conditions the report says:
"Since August 1 Of this year the

rency is not already on a gold basis

theme as does DR.. Brough,
