market was nervous and unsettled to-
day after yesterdays suspension to
permit adjustment to conditions Gre
ated. by adoption of the new style
contract under the amendment to the
federal cotton futures law. Trading
was inaugurated under the new form
agreement but there was no busi-
ness in the new style contract for
March delivery. New style months
ruled about 100 to 135 points above the
old style deliveries at the start.
One of the early feature swas the
selling of the new style contracts by
spot houses, particularly the later de-
liveries, and the tendency was toward
a smaller new style premium during
the early trading, with old style May
selling around FLOP, compared with
21.90 for the new style and 21.30 for
the old May delivery as quoted at the
close of last Monday.

consummated the world will be i'm
mediately involved in a chaos of war.
People are taught that they can re-
ceive the benefits of this league with
out involving our country in any seri-
Gus obligations.
Il affirm that it in fact proposes to
set up world agreement which will
have control over all international
matters.
Moreover it will have jurisdiction
of domestic matters which in the opin-
ion of the majority of the league may
tend to produce difficulties out of
which war may spring.
THE construction of the league is
essentially autocratic. The powers
are so highly centralized and SO utter
ly without balances, checks or safe
guards as to be repugnant to all forms
| of democracy''
