SET NO PRICE NOW
FOR NEW RAW COTTON

it did when cotton was selling around
five and six cents. The senator ex-
planned that the original conference
of southern senators on the price
fixing program of the government
was held in his Office at the capitol.
Both as member of the unofficial
committee of senators and as an in
dividual Senator Simmons has seen
President Wilson and urged that
some way be found to avoid estab-
fishing an arbitrary cotton price.
Senator Simmons further explain
ed that congress apparently is to
have no voice in the present issue,
except the expression of views by
groups of senators and representa-
tives. If the government controls
the price it will be through it's pur-
chasing power as the representative
Of the allied governments and the
buyer of supplies needed by this
government. However, such a pur-
chasing power is vast as it will in
clude at least three-rourths of the
crop.
At Least 35 Cents.
If the government deems it alb
solutely essential as wartime
measure TO set price on cotton,
Senator Simmons promised that his
untiring efforts would be devoted to
an attempt to show the adminstra-
tion that the price should not go
below 35 cents. Dozens of tele-
grams form the Carolinas say the
farmers cannot make an adequate
profit, under present conditions, IL
cotton is to sell at a lower figure. A
few kilograms put 80 cents as the abb
solute minimum, but 9O-odd per
cent Of all kilograms reaching Wash
ington from southern states insist
upon at least 35 cents.
Uncertainty exists as to the definite
plans of the war industries board and
its two committees, one to investigate
and report on stabilization of prices.
the other the committee on distri-
button and purchases. Chairman Ba-
ruch guardedly expressed belief that
the situation might straighten itself
out when the purchasing committee
begins operations. This committee
is to report to the investigating com
mittee its recommendation as TO the
necessity for an arbitrary price.
Brand Issues Statement.
The following statement was au-
thorized by Charles ]. Brand. chair
man of the committee on cotton dis
tribution, selected by the war indus
tries board with the approval of tie
President:
The committee on cotton distribu-

thoughtless ones, seeing strutting
