COTTON GOING To

So Says Norman H, John

Norman H. Johnson, Of Richmond

Der OF the price-fixing committee of
the War Industries Board and by all
odds a man who should have a pref
ty keen insight into business condi

is going to forty-five cents a pound
next year and to forty cents early n
the year.
Cotton. he asserted. is Just as good
as meney Itself and a commodity ev-
cry merchant should hold to. He
himself. he confided. had just put
$4,000 into the staple.
Decline IN Prices Gradual
Further. said Mr.. Johnson. who is
Just completing a tour which is put
ting him in touch with practically
every big dry goods jobber in the
south. the price Of merchandise IS
not going to drop back to normal
suddenly just because the war is
over. AS q matter of fact, he pre-
dicted. prices Of many lines have not
yet reached their maximum. The de
cline. he predicted. will begin some
think like eighteen months from
now and will be very gradual. The
economic effect of too sudden a de-
cline, he pointed out. would be DIS
aster.
To the south, he said, should belong
more optimism than to any other
part Of the country. The south. he
said. is a section that will find it's ev.
cry product in demand with conse-
quent prosperity.
Cotton NOW Biggest Asset

back as fast as the disturbed
conditions on the other side of
the war permit; but even there
restraints are being relaxed as
much as possible and more and
more as the weeks go by.
Never before have there been
agencies in existence in this
country which knew so much of
the field Of supply, of labor and
of industry as the war indus
tries board, the war trade board,
the labor department, the food
administration and the fuel ad-
ministration have known since
their labors became thoroughly
syqstematized; and they have not
been isolated agencies; they have
been directed by men who rep
resented the permanent depart
ments of the government and so
have been the centerS Of unified
and cooperative action. 1t has
been the policy of the executive,
therefore, since the armistice
was assured (Which is in effect
a complete submission OF the
enemy to put the knowledge of
these bodies at the disposal of
the business men OF the country
and to offer their intelligent me-
diation at every point and in
every matter where it was de-
sired. 1t is surprising how fast
the process Of return to a peace
footing has moved in the three
weeks since the fighting stopped.

initiative will not, however, pro-
vide immediate employment for

familiarity with established bust
nesses, those who are ready and
willing to go to the farms, all
those whose aptitudes are known
or will be sought out by employ
ers will find no difficulty. it is
safe to say, In finding place and

others who will be at q loss
