Cotton Trade Need
Not Fear the War
Boards Inquiry
Ousley Says Price Fixing Is
Considered Only as
Possibility

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-The cot
ton producer and "the fair dealing"
cotton trade and cotton goods industry
have nothing to fear from the action
of the War Industries Board in pro-
viding for an ALLEGATION of cotton and
an inquiry into the whole cotton
situation, said Clarence Ousley, AS
sistant Secretary of Agriculture, in a
statement to-day outlining the reasons
for the inquiry.
Mr.. Ousley said that there has not
been from the beginning, nor is there
now, any set purpose or desire to fix
cotton prices. 1t has been considered,
he added, only as possible necessity,
dependent upon the information to be
gathered by the cotton committee.
AS reasons for a cotton inquiry, Mr.
Ousley said, frequently of late there
have been marked fluctuations without
justifyng economic reasons, that the
prices of cotton goods have been ad-
vancing out of all proportions to the
prices of cotton, that contract quota
tions in the last few months have been
out Of all relation with spot quota
tions, and that it has developed that
there is {. rather scant supply of cot
ton Of the grade of middling and an
abundance of low grade cotton on the
one hand and extra staple on the other.
