HELP THE COTTON PLANTERS
Plan Contemplating Raising Of Fund
Of e13s, ooo, 900 sesms to Be Most
Practical One offered.

As our readers all know, the South
this year produced almost maximum
crop of cotton, for which. had the nor
NAL price been maintained. they would
have received many hundreds Of mil
lions of dollars. Unfortunately, the
European war has shut OF the demand
for cotton for manufacture abroad, and
instead of receiving the price which
prevailed last year. the planters are
offered now not much more than half
that price. An effort has been made
to secure the help of the government
in financing the cotton growers. and
many plans have been suggested. The
one which Is likely to be adopted has
been made public by the federal re-
serve board, which has control Of the
new reserve banks. This plan con-
templates raising fund Of about 1885,
600. 1000. to be known as the cotton loan
fund. This fund will be raised from
the banks Of the entire country, and
will be administered under the direc-
ton of q committee. and to be COM
posed Of individual members Of the
federal reserve force. This central
committee will appoint committees in
each Of the cotton producing states.
says Wallace's Farmer. Loans made
from this fund shall bear interest at
the rate Of six per cent per annum.
and all applications for loans must be
through banks or bankers. and must
be approved by the proper local COM
mittee. by the state committee. and by
two members of the cotton loan COM
mittee. These loans shall be secured
by cotton on the basis Of six cents .
pound. and approved warehouse re-
ceipts must be attached to the appli-
cation.
While this plan has not at the pres
emit writing been finally adopted, the
indications are that 1t will be, and II
seems to offer a practical way Of help
ing the cotton growers through their
financial trouble.

State Department officials announced
today that there was every indication
that the financial protectorate conven-

The statement was made upon adviceS
received from American Charge daft
fairs Davis at Port au Prince.
The prospects OF opposition TO the
treaty in the United States Congress
have been fully considered by the Pres
ident and his advisers. 1t is predicted
that the opposition will disappear. or
at least be rendered ineffective, long
before the Senate is called upon to take
final action upon the proposed conven-
ton. 1t is intended to inaugurate the
plans for the reorganization of Haiti
very soon. To that end resort will be

a moduS vivendi or temporary working
arrangement subject to vacation or

President Dartiguenave the United
States government will take over all
the Haitian customhouses: will allot a
certain proportion of the proceeds of
the revenues to defray the expenses of
the Haitian government. set apart a
sufficient sum to discharge the interest
on the foreign debt. and. if there is any
residue, will see that it is properly eX-
pended for public works or other
things.
A few months trial of that plan, pre-
liminary to action by Congress upon
the treaty, it is believed by the State
Department officials. will be SO con-
vincing as to its merit and will be so
beneficial in its effects upon the Hal
tianS themselves that Congress Will not
hesitate to give its approval.

1t was realized by the administration
when Charge Davis at Port au Prince
was instructed to insist on the rati-
