Regulations of RGlU
Cotton Are RemOUe0

Washington, Dee. 13.-Au govern
ment regulation affecting raw cotton
ended today with the dissolution of
the cotton distribution committee of
the war industries board
While there was no announcement
either by Chairman Charles j. Brand
of the committee, or by Chairman
Baruch of the war industries board,
as to the considerations which led to
the decision to abolish the committee,
it was understood that officials no
longer regarded it as necessary to con
troll distribution now that the world
markets have been reopened with the
ending of the war.
The committee appointed by Presi-
dent Wilson to investigate the general
cotton situation was dissolved several
weeks ago after it had reported to
the president that there was no neces-
sity for fixing price for the various
grades of raw cotton.
Another action by the government
today affecting cotton was the alloca-
ton by the shipping board of two
ships of 21,200 tons for the cotton
carrying trade The kirkle of 9,400
tons was ordered to Galveston to load
cotton for England, and the Chal-
lencer, II 500 tons, was sent to New
Orleans to load also for English
ports.
In making this announcement today
cambridge Colby, of the shipping
board, said that great quantities of
cotton are awaiting transportation
and that he is very hopeful of being
able to follow up these ALLEGATIONS
shortly with additional tonnage" as
it is released from war requirements.
