quoted as saying that 1--WE have
brought the facts to the atten-

shown that there was no occa-

TO fix an arbitrary price on cotton
in the midst Of the harvesting season
would be manifestly unfair and high
iy injurious. Moreover, the Joint con-
ference Of senators. representatives
ana the marketing board was unani-
nous in the opinion that it would be
highly unfair to the South to fix an
arbitrary price on the entire Ameri-
can cotton crop when the ascertain
ed fact is that not more than 20 per
cent. of the crop is necessary for war
p9rposes-for our own army and the
armies of our allies.

cotton the government buys for its
