Cotton and Bonds
On Same Basis
Bankers Pass Resoluti"as Fav'
oring Increasing Capital of
Financial Institutions

A resolution Of great interest to col
ton growers adopted at the recent
meeting OF the South Carolina Bank
ers' Association at Tybee was one
urging a. change in existing laws SO
that cotton stored in standard ware
houses, fully insured, should be handl-
ed as Liberty bonds without charging
credit against the line to be extended
to the producer.
The resolution as adopted, reads:
"Realizing that cotton stored in stand
ard warehouses, properly insured. is
one of the best bankable liquid as
sets; realizing that under existing laws
cotton is often forced upon the mar
ket due to the fact that the producers
line Of credit has been exhausted:
Therefore be it resolved, That cot
ton stored in standard warehouses,
fully insured, should be handled as
Liberty bonds without charging cred-
it against the line to be extended the
producer; and be it further recon-
mended that this association go OH
record as strongly indorsing the nee
essary changes in existing laws 10
bring this about, and we earnestly
urge that our congressman and Unit
ed States senators use every means
possible to effect these changes in
existing laws.
Furthermore be it resolved, That
COPY of this resolution be furnished
to the press and to our representa-
tiyes in congress
A resolution was also passed urg-
ing the banks of the State, wherever
pra cticable, to increase their capital
stock so per cent This resolution was
in line with resolution passed at
a meeting of the South Carolina Cot
ton Association in Columbia in May
and which has since been passed by
BARI: ers' association Of a number OF
Southern States.
The resolution passed by the South
Carolina Bankers Association follows
IN full:
whereas, on account of the
existing conditions brought OF
by world war, not only the
matter Of imitation but in many 9th
er phases of commercial life, make
it of great importance that the oanks
increase their capital, thus enabling
them to render better service 70
their patrons and their stockholders
Therefore be it resolved, That the
banks are hereby requested to give
careful consideration to the fact that:
in the South today there are around
$4,000, 100000 in Liberty bonds; that.
an ideal opportunity is offered to the.
banks for the purpose Of increasing
their capital and surplus SO per cent
or TO such an amount as they would.
deem practicable, accepting Liberty
bonds on payment thereof; the fact
being that leading bankers who have
given this the closest attention In
dorse same in strongest terms, and
upon investigation, it being found
that the increase i. capital and sur sus
plus accepting payment in Lioerg
bonds, can be made without violation 'c,l
of any. existing law. The South has
especially suffered for the lack of sui su1f:
ficient banking capital This in aadi-.
ton to conditions named above, rem
ders it of vital importance that the.
banks accept this golden opportunity
to increase their banking capital and
surplus.
BE it further resolved, That COPY
of this resolution be furnished the

MES the German declaration that the
terms of the treaty with regard to the

paragraphs men toned by the Germans
are Complementary.

ance Of liberty OF communication and

treatment of all members.
Germany when admitted to the So
ciety,, the reply says, will share in
the benefits OF these stipulations with
other countries. Nevertheless. during
the period of transition following

count tie special conditions which
are laid down. On page AZ of the mem

Germany are therein shown to have
the character of reparations measures
