lamations.
This statement was authorized
yesterday at the British embassy.
As soon as the official announce,
ment is made it will be disclosed
also that the allied governments
have prepared to stand behind the
market to prevent ruinous depres-
sion of prices and minimize hard
ships TO cotton planters.
The allies contend the cotton
states have prepared for a contra
band order by reduction of acre
age. Some of the cotton interests,
allied quarters acknowledge may
be affected, and for that reason it
has been decided to stand behind
the market. The principal reason
for declaring cotton c~ontraband IS
that it is one of the principal
sources of smokeless powder.
How the allies propose to sup
port the cotton market is not eX-
planned here.
