HoKE SMITH QUOTES RECORD
Georgia Senator WAKES Wrathy Over
What He Terms Is England's Gross
Injustice in Outlawtng Commerce
in south's Great Staple.

Washington. Sept 9.--Senator Hoke
Smith. of Georgia, who dropped into
Washington today from his summer
home at Warrenton, Va. expressed
mis- indignation at the British order
making cotton absolutely contraband
He declared that it was illegal. Citing
international law presidents to sus-
tain his position, the Senator also
charged the British government with
violating agreements as we'll
The only exception to the general
policy in regard to cotton was when
Russia. in the Russo-Japanese war,
made an order declaring it contra
band, according to Senator Smith.
This was in 1905. This order was
resented by the United States and
Great Britain at the time, and the
Senator declared 1t the grossest Of
bad faith now for Britain to declare
the South's great staple contraband.
The Senator explained that cotton
was used in explosives only as last
resort and not az common thing
when cheaper materials could not be
obtained.
Raw Cotton to Re Free.
In support OF his contention, the
Senator from Georgia cited the confer
ence OF the nine great naval powers
at London in 1909, where the repre-
sentatives there assembled adopted the
resolution that raw cotton should be
free and under no circumstances to be
declared contraband.
The British order making cotton
absolute contraband Is illegal and dfs-
regards the rights of citizens of the
United States" said Senator Smith.
In making citations from diplomatic
records in the case of cotton. Senator
Smith mentioned that the one excep-
ton to the rule that cotton should be
on the free list was when Russia In
1905 declared cotton contrahand.
Quotes English Authority.
Great Britain and the United
States protested the legality of this
order" said the Senator. Great Brit
ain put her protest on the ground that
British India was by far the largest
exporter Of raw cotton In Japan, and
officially advised Russia as follows.
THE quantity of raw cotton that
might he utilized for explosives would
be infinitely small in comparison with
the bulk of the cotton exports from
India to Japan for peaceful purposes,
and to treat harmless cargoes Of this
latter description as unconditional con-
traband will be to subject a branch
of innocent commerce 10 most un-
warranted Interference
Great Britain protected her citi-
gems Russia allowed their cotton
shipments to go 10 Japan"
