WOU[DPUT COTTON
|N.0PEN MARKET
Senator Hoke Smith Intro
duces Resolution TO. Lift
Power of Embargo.

Removal Of the last obstac1e to q
free market for cotton and demand
that the power to put an embargo on
cotton which was given to help whip
the Huns be not used to destroy the
farmers and business interests Of one
quarter Of the country is contained in
a resolution introduced in the Senate
yesterday by Senator Hoke Smith Of
Georgia.
With crop estimated at 11,5o0,000
bales. 6.500.000 of which are needed by
foreign mills and an equal quantity
by American mills, Senator Smith says
that, now that the aWr Industries Board
has formally announced that it has no
authority y to tix cotton prices. but one
obstacle sands In the way of the
cotton producers to market their crop.
The resolution offered yesterday would
cut away that one obstacle.
Why It Was Permitted.
He recites that when the privilege
of placing embargoes was before the
Senate under the espionage bill the
Senate struck it out for fear that it
might be used to depress the prices
OF domestic product. Subsequently
when assurance was given that it would
be useds only to prevent domestic
products from reaching enemy coun-
tries, the Senate reconsidered its ac-
ton and the embargo privilege was
granted.
Senator Smith introduced his reso-
tion yesterday. reciting these facts,
also that the war is over. and asking
why cotton should not go freely to
Japan. Spain. Italy. France, Great Bri-
tain, Holland. Denmark, Norway and
Sweden. This resolution calls upon
the War Trade Board to advise the
Senate to what exetent the exports Of
cotton are still restricted. the reasons
for such course and the time when
restrictions would be removed.
Senator Smith gave as his reasons:
'1 have been advised that the price
Of cotton has been forced down more
than s per cent below the cost of
production. I know that the foreign
trade and foreign mills would readily
consume 6,500.000 bales of this years
ity to obtain it. This fact and the
American demand would restore cot
ton to the prices current the first Of
last September, from 35 to 40 cents
per pound. ~
