THOSE GREEDY COTTON
 GROWERS.

It was to be expected that the Southern contingent in Congress would set up a howl over the pro" posal to fix the price of cotton at a reasonable figure They are all pa triots of course-to hear them talk; and they believe in the principle of price fixing and the practice, too. so long as it does not put a crimp in the pOcketbOOks of their constituents. But the governmental priCe-fxers must not tampcr with the cotton market. Oh. no! that would never do! It might discourage production, and cot. ton is needed to win the war. What logic, this?
 Yet these are the same fellows who opposed fixing the price of silver at $1OO per ounce. They had the nerve to take the position that this was more than the metal was worth and that the finances of the govern

FACING THE FACTS

One can not very well escape the conviction that when it comes to plain speech and matter-of ffact discussion of war questions the British have the better of us Their leaders have long since determined the wisdom of talk ing the people into their confidence. with the result that the papers and publicists and political leaders of the kingdom are heid in higher regard than is the case in America.
 In speaking of the advantage Of telling the truth no matter how it may hurt and of it's bracing effect upon the morale of the people, MT Asquith took occasion to observe recently in the course of speech before parlia- ment:
 "What then. is our duty at the pres cnt moment? What are the faculties we most need? Courage, of course, and patience the courage that can face facts and can not only dare but endure; patience that can not be driven from it's equipoisc by any alter nations either of hope or fear, But let me suggest one or two ways
The Cordova daily times., 1918-09-26

in which they may be helped and for. tifed. In the first place. let us be able to feel that whatever comes or goes. we know the truth and the whole truth. In my judgment we have reached a stage of the war when far more is to be gained than lost by laying before our own people all the actualities, be they favorable or ad- verse, of an unexampled situation There Is no reason, there never was less reason, why the voice Of honest and patriotic criticism should be hushed into silence, but let us keep our eyes fixed and our hearts set on the great dominating purposes to which we have deliberately conse. crated the resources and energies of the empire, with an unwayering faith both in the worthiness of our aims and in the certainty that they will be achieved"
 To which Colonel George Harvey adds in behalf of America: All that we want is discussion, and then we are sure to do well, no matter what our blunders may be. One error con ficts with another: each destroys It's opponent. and truth is evolved" Hence criticism that counts.
The Cordova daily times., 1918-09-26

ment were in no shape to guarantee a royalty on the product. And when, in spite of their objection. this price was agreed upon, then they undertook to crow about how generous the gov ernment was with the mining industry of the West Had not Senator Shoot sharply reminded them that silver in the open market would sell for SIPS, and that the price e-fixing of this com modity amounted in fact to contri- button on the part of the mine owners and operators of 29 cents one every ounce of silver produced, to the cause of winning the war, the chances are that they would have really succeed ed in making the country believe that Democratic administrator had guaranteed a royalty to a Western industry.
 And so with other commodities. The Southerners in Congress are al ways more than willing to curtail abnormal profits on any article pro duCed north of the Mason and Dixon line, but cotton must not be molested. And to make sure that the cotton growers get the top >price, 1t is per fectly all right for Secretary McAdoo, himself Southerner, to indirectly ad- vance few hundred millions of fed eral funds to these growers to enable them to hold back their product for the highest possible price. Cotton Is still king in America-and will be so long as the South is in the saddle.
