No FAYORS FOR COTTON.

Delay in passing the food control bill
is becoming a national scandal. An
nouncement of a shortage in some of
the country's principal crops has
brought a realization Of the urgent nee
essity for a proper conservation of the
national food supply. Prompt action
was of the utmost importance, but o0-
structionists have caused exasperat-
ing delay by their insistence upon the
inclusion of features not at all con-
templated in the original measure
Food control Of itself is a big propo-
sition. What the people demand IS the
iudicious conservation of the food sup
ply, more specifically of such kinds as
are threatened with deficiency If it
be found later on that the public inter
est demands it, then will be time
enough to take appropriate action with
regard to other necessaries.
Cotton is a necessity, Of course but
not in the same sense that food is.
Furthermore, the only justification pos
sible for exercising control even over
! the food supply derives from the appre-
hension of a future deficiency. From
an official viewpoint, no such danger
exists in the cotton supply, at least
none which it was deemed desirable tC
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-07-09

guard against. On the contrary, a
strong attempt was made to induce the
reduction of cotton production this
season.
No favors are asked for cotton-only
fair deal. New England would like
to put down the price Of cotton. so an
to obtain cheaper raw material from
which to make high-priced goods. When
the people begin to complain of the
high cost of clothing, the manufacture
ers can afford to reduce their prices
and still earn a good profit at prevail
ing prices for cotton And so far as
cotton as a source of supply is con-
ccrned, the price Of the excellent cot
ton seed oil article is always below the
price of the regular hog lard.
When such conditions arise as to
render expedient the control of the
prices of cotton and cotton products,
cotton producers will cheerfully submit
TO such control. They ask for no eX-
emption. But nothing in existing con-
ditions calls for control. After all,
however, the bill only proposes to give
the president power to exercise con-
troll when it may be necessary or eX-
pedient to do so; and the president is
very level-headed man, and broad
minded statesman-Savannah Morning
