CONFERENCE ADOPTS
SET OF RESOLUTIONS
Propose 10 Form United States Cotton
Corporation; Object TO Insure Manu-
faCIurerS Safe Return

f. T.. Chandler returned yesterday
from New Orleans where he attend
ed conference OF bankers and cot
ton producers of the south, the con-
ference being attended by both pro-
ducers and bankers from every cot
ton producing state.
1t was decided to send a delegation
to Washington to confer with con
gress and the president and two del
egates from each state will meet
there on Wednesday, July II, for
that purpose. Mr.. Chandler, with L.
T. Sammons of McAlester, was Sc
lected to represent Oklahoma at this
meeting.
The conference adopted the follow
ing resolutions:
Whereas, in the present struggle
of the free peoples of the United
States and the allied nations against
the insatiate ambition of maddened
military .autocracy, next in import
ance only to the supply Of food is the
supply Of raw materials for the max
ing of clothing, and,
Whereas, the supply Of such raw
materials, other than cotton, has
been materially reduced by consump
ton, thereby increasing the need for
cotton and the intrinsic value there
Of and,
whereas, the demand for transpor
tation facilities for the carrying OF
soldiers and war supplies has reduc
ed the shipping available for cotton,
thereby interrupting temporarily the
law of supply and demand and con-
fronting the producers Of cotton and
the banks financing them with task
beyond their resources, and,
whereas, the cotton plant yields
uNSluth lllt lib5l lHb NbhluAop'u
which has been found 10 be essential
in producing fats and feed and an
impairment Of the agricultural
organization raising cotton would
therefore be disastrous to the nation.
Whereas, large supply of this
essential raw material will be OF in
estimable value to the government OF
the United States in any negotiations
with the enemy either OH the occa-
sion Of peace adjustments following
the close of the war, as well as for
the use of the allied nations and
friendly neutrals during the progress
of the war; therefore,
"Be it resolved, That this meeting
petition the president and the con
, gress Of the United States to create
a corporation to be known as the
United States Cotton corporation with
power to buy for account of the Unit
ed States government such cotton as
may be offered for sale without other
available buyers at price to be now
fixed by the president Of the United
States.
"That concurrently herewith ar
rangements be made whereby there
shall be insured to the consumer OF
cotton fabrics a price consistent will
the price of the raw material, allow
ing to the manufacturer safe and
reasonable return upon his opera
tions.
THAT a committee from this sec
tion composed of one producer from
each cotton growing state be sent t
Washington to present this petition
and take such other steps as ma,
be necessary to secure the consum
nation Of this plan"
