tined in this side would undergo little change. American cotton destined for Germany Is now stopped If the product were made contraband 1t would be stopped in the same man ner. The principal difficulty would be that if cotton were contraband, shipments from America, which were suspected of being for Germany would be seized and would be liable to con- fiscation by prize court procedure if proof were obtainable of German desti- nation. where as now the cotton is seized out not necessarily confiscated.
 Tn any case, where cotton is con traband or not the allies must permit neutral trading in this product. Ameri- can growers must be given their mar ket In neutral countries even If they arc adjacent to Germany. and the in- iustries of those countries must have the cotton required for their own needs. How to permit this supply to move forward and yet safeguard the allies interests by being sure that none of 1t will go to the enemy constituted complicated problem of great dimen- sions.
 Keep It Out of Germany
 We are interested only in keeping cotton cut of Germany. We not only do not object to it's going to neutral coun- tries. but we in fact, are anxious that Il should go in order that there should De minimum conveniences to the neu- tra1s concerned.
 Tt is obvious what the loss of Ger man and Austrian markets will mean to American cotton growers. We full ly realize that if there is no German and Austrian outlet prices may go town and that Americans will suffer unless some means are devised for com pensaton. Proposals in that direc- ton have been made and are receiv- ing careful consideration. What will come of them l cannot say at this time. Certainly I am not at liberty to imply that favorable action will be taken. nor will I say that 1t will not.
