DEP ARTMENT TO INVESTIGATE
COTTON FUTURE QUOTATIONS
.Ng.SS.-


The secretary Of agriculture,
through the cotton futures section Of
the Bureau of Markets, will make a
special investigation Of cotton futures
quotations. For some weeks past
there has been a disparity between
the prices of midd,ing cotton as quot
ed by the New York and New Orleans
future exchanges. This situation, it
pointed Gu, inpairs the usefulness
of the future exchanges to mandfac-
turors and dealers in hedging trans
actions in spot cotton and tends to
render the market unsteady and un-
certain. This question has had the
attention of the Department of Acri-
culture for some time, and is also q
matter Of concern to those engaged nj
the cotton industry. The departmen,
states that the investigation # the
situation viii be complete and thor
ough. with a view to determining
cause of the disparity and steps
necessary for its remedy.
The department also has taken up
with the War Industries Board the
question Of the utilization Of cotton
Of the lower grades, Of which a large
surplus is accumlating. Low grade
cotton is piling I'D. because the ordi-
nary outlets for ii are closed by the
var and the fact that cotton of high
81 grades is being used in the manu-
facture Of goods. particularly on gov
ernment contracts, when cotton o.
the lower grades might be used sat

AmeriCaniSm.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.
(ColSright, 1881

In these times of upturning. and the
general scrapping of old ideas and
institutions it is very important that
we keep in mind what Americanism
is
And the most important distinction
in this connection is the one between
Americanism and socialism.
The gist of Americanism is that peo-
pie are to govern themselves. That is
democracy The gist of socialism is
that people are to be governed by
theory. In most of the practical eX-
amples we have had of socialism in
Europe this theory is to be admins
who think they know what is good
for the people much better than the
people know themselves.
Socialism is not an American idea.
1t is not even akin to democracy.
The trouble with socialism is that it
was made in Germany.
1t was created by minds stepped in
the prejudices and passions of class.
Having long been oppressed by an
upper class, their idea of the millen-
mum is to put that class down and
put their own class on top.
Americans have no such notion.
They have no sympathy with the
class idea-either an upper or a low
err class. Their basic feeling is that
one man is as good as another.
Socialism will never thrive in this
country. 1t is an imported article. 1t
will not grow in this climate.
Most of the names you see among
socialist leaders are foreign names.
Very few of the Joneses, Smiths, or
Robinsons are socialists.
Americans genuine Americans -
cannot feel socialism. They cannot
understand those vivid hates which
are the lifeblSod of socialism.
The American laborer getting five
dollars a day working in the steel
shops does not hate Mr.. Schwab or
Mr. Carnegie because they are mil
lionaires. They may be millionaires
themselves some day.
There is nothing that socialism has
to offer that cannot be better secured
by the processes Of democracy and the
spirit of Americanism.
Let US keep our hands clean and
our minds clean from this septic and
mistaken theory that bids fair to
wreck Europe.
Socialism and autocracy are but OPP
posite faces of the same coin. They
are made out of the same metal. The
name of that metal is class. Where
there has been no autocracy there can
be no socialism.
