COMMITTEE HEARS
PROTEST AGAINST
FIXING OF PRICE
]. j. BROWN, AGRICULTURAL
COMMISSIONER FOR GEORGIA
HEADS DELEGATION IN
OPPOSITION

Washington Sept 24.-Protest
against the Government fixing basic
prices for standard grades of cotton
marked the beginning today of the
deliberations of the new committee
named to investigate the cotton
situation
fical advisory marketing committee
appeared before the committee late
today after comforting at the capitol
with Senator Smith, of South Carolina
and his associates from the cotton
state. j. j. Brown, Georgia's Commits
sioner of Agriculture, head of dele
CATION and voiced what ne termed the
protest of the farmers against price
fixing. Mr. Brown is president of the
advisory marketing committee which
is composed of the commissioners Of
agriculture Of the cotton states. di-
rectors of the cotton states market
ing bureaus and the presidents of the
farmers unions of those states. He
said his organization believed the
law of supply and demand should
govern prices.
Do Not Believe Action Necessary
Willie willing to submit to any act
of the Government as a war measure,
Mr. Brown said he did net believe
such drastic action as price fixing is
necessary The wisdom of the APP
pointment of the cotton distribution
committee. empowered to buy cotton
for the Government and the Allies
and to allocate it as to quality and
grade to all domestic and forign con
sumers, was question by Mr.. Brown
and the other delegates.
The Governments theory that
some control be eXcised over
distribution OF the low grades OF cot
ton so as to force them on the do
mestic market and thus release
greater quantities OF the higher grades
Tor Government requirements, was
based upon an erroneous view Mr..
Brown said. The lower grades, he
added are being distributed normally
and governmental interference would
be unwise from any economic stand
point.
Price Fixing Not Yet Considered
Governor Manning, Of South Caro-
lima, and Senator Benet of that state
conferred today with Chairman Page
Of the cotton committee, discussing
with him the cotton situation from
the viewpoint of the possible activities
OF the new committee with reference
to. price fixing
Chairman Page said today that his
committee was Just getting down to
work and that 10 official anonunce-
ment of progress made was to be ex-
pected until more information was
at hand. Price fixing he said, will not
be considered Until the effort o. the
work of the cotton distribution com
mittee is felt
Through his committee, Chairman
Page said, it is hoped the price Of
cotton may be stabilized to the point
where price fixing will not be neces-
sary.

movement begun by the transporta-

EARLY BREAKUP OF
EBERT-HAASE REGIME
AT BERLIN INDICATED

Berlin, Saturday, Dec. The en-
tire bourgeoise press and the ma
iority socialist organ Vorwaerts to-
tdav present a united front against
the Spartacus group of socialists.
Vorwaerts, in its criticism OF the
independent socialists, indicates ,!i!:
that this newspaper finds it difficult
to distinguish it from Karl Liebk-
NIGHTS Spartacus group.
A savage onslaught against the
majority socialists and their repre-
sentatives in the government IS
made by the independent socialist
organ, and this newspapers almost
enthusiastic defense OF the Sparta
Gus group is construed here as
showing that the Ebert-Haase tac-
tions are swiftly approaching
break.
