Washington September 6.--(Special)
On account of insuperab1e obstacles in
the form of transportation and ex-
change rates, it will be impossible for
the south to market it's surplus cotton
unless strong organization is per-
fected to sell European countries on
credit in terms of American dollars.
Senator Bankhead reached this con-
clusion this afternoon and issued a call
for the south to get together and or
ganize. The scheme is identical with
that embodied in the constitution of the
embryonic cotton export association
the product of w. P. G.. Harding, gov
ernor of the federal reserve SYSTEM
After discussing and explaining the
difficulties which will make it impos
sible for the south to deal with Eu-
rope under present conditions, Senator
Bankhead says:
in view of these facts. it seems
that 1t is futile to discuss the posi-
hility of marketing American cotton in
the same language in which we were
formerly accustomed to when there
were no abnormal obstacles in the
way. either of transportation or of
exchange rates, and when the question
was purely one of supply and demand
1t seems that the only way in which
our exportable surplus of cotton, com
paratively small, though it be, can be
marketed with due respect to its value
is to sell il on terms which would per-
nit the adverse exchange rates to be
disregarded This can be done only
by long term credits running say, from
two to three years.
THE countries of Europe are not
physically bankrupt; there is an abund-
ance of porperty there and of securi-
ties based upon that property which
can secure debt, and it is clear to me
that it is necessary for the south to or
ganize a strong. we'll directed move
ment to supply European nations with
credits in terms of dollars so that they
can pay without these excessive prem
iums for The cotton shipped them. This
solution of the problem has been before
sthe public of the south for several
months--ever since the convention at
Memphis on April 10, and it is import
lant, if distressing conditions are to be
avoided in the south that action be
taken promptly.

WOULD GET NOTHING

Opponents of the league, the presi-
dent asserted, were saying, yes. we
made great promise to the world, but
it'll cost too must to redeem it, If
by deliberate choice the United States
became rival and antagonist of her
neighbors instead of their friend, said
the President, then it would reap the
same reward as business man who
proceeded on that basis. If the United
States tried to get all it could selfishly,
he continued, then the world would
see that it got nothing at all.
Just as American soldiers restored
the morale of the fighting peoples OF
the allies, said the President. so the
United States could now restore the
peace morale of the world. 1t was
the people themselves, he said who
would in the end determine what course
the United States would take.

The peace, Mr.. Wilson asserted, had
been made on american specified

said, was the establishment of Poland

tions which now separated Germany
from the pathway of an empire she ex-
pected to establish in the southeast.
Are you going to institute move
against France and England, and Japan
to get Shantung back for China?" asked

On the contrary, he added. establish

to which China could appeal for future
justice.

WORLD IS FACING

CHICAGO. April 2s-Roger E. Sim
mons, who was sent to Russia In 1917
as a member OF United States gov
eminent commission to study the lum-
Der situation in they war devastat ted
countries and who was taken prisoner
by the bolshevik government and at
one time sentenced to be shot, told
the legislative commission inyestigat-
ing high prices of building material
that the world was facing lumber
IA mine.
Prices Of lumber, he said, were GER
tain to rise in the next few years be-
cause of the unprecedented demand
which would come from the recon
struction Of the war-stricken regions
Of Europe. The major portion OF this
lumber, he said. would have to be sup
piled by the United States and Canada.
Canada already has received an Or
der from the British government for
one billion feet Of lumber, while this
country has received orders for one
million feet OF oak from England and
twelve shiploads of lumber from Italy.
Mr.. Simmons said Russia, which be-
fore the war exported 50 per cent of
the worlds lumber supply. would not
be in position to cut lumber until
five years after the government had
been stabilized and order restored.
Austria and other countries which ex-
ported lumber before the war are in
a similar position, he said.
