ing needs in each field. Several
years ago. in preparation for the
centenary, detailed questionnaires
were sent out to the financial COM
mittees in charge of each mission
area. These questionnaires were
filled in by the men on the spot,
and were subject TO review and the

each area.
They were then sent back to a
central financial committee who
went over them carefully, compar-
ing them, and making any cuts or
changes that seemed possible. The
net result of all this careful and
expert preparation has been the
decision TO pledge eighty millions.

 The statement that cotton farmers es- cape taxation because of their influence in Congress- is not true, if it means they are not burdened with war taxes If the Wall street gentry desire that spe- cific tax be levied on each pound of cotton. on each bushel of wheat and on each yard of cloth. they would put these people in different class and tax them specially.
