THE COTTON QUESTIONS
VIEWED FROM TWO STANDpoINgS
(From The Financial Age.)
Two Letters Questioning the Wis
dom OF Our Advice to Sell.

| The following letters are from two
banks in South Carolina and explain
themselves:
Editor Financial Age-Dear Sir:
For some time | have .'een an
| interested reader of your editorials
| nd find them interesting and help
,ul, but | want you to allow me a
few questions in regard to your edi-
torial in the issue of February /,
cotton Should be Marketed" J.,
too, am and have always been OF
the opinion that 27k cents Is a
good price for the 1918 crop from
the farmers point. lie has a fair
profit in it then, nothing more. The
price being now nearer 20 cents
than q cents puts little different
light on some of the points. The
question | want you to allow me to
ask is, why should not the farmer
as well as anyone else borrow on
cotton and hold it?' After it gets
out Of the farmers hands it is near
ly all held on borrowed money, and
even when 1T passes on and gets
into the hands Of the spinner, often
it is still resting under borrowed
funds. Why should not the farmer
mold as well as anyone, for the cot
ton must be held by someone? 1t
cannot all be made into yarns as
fast as it is ginned.
Really, | would like some points
along this line, for as far as has
come under my observation, the
farmer uses smaller amount Of
credit in proportion to his capital
| than the person in most any other
business.
Yours very truly,
c.. w. B.

London. Feb. 27.--The monarch
lists Of Germany are contemplating
an early coup d'etat in the opinion
of the Mails correspondent at Ber-
I'm, who says that the old officer
classes. with its generals, has been
gradually getting the whip hand
there since January 13 and now
holds the government in its power.
'"rhe threatened coup d'etat will
he carried out in Berlin alone" he
writes. land will probably for a
time be successful, although it will
certainly result in ruthless civil war
end unscrupulous political murders.
i large number OF officers are said
TO be associated in the plot to over
throw the present government and
the restoration of the old order Of
taings.
"a secret meeting Of monarchist
officers was held at Charlottenhurg
IL February 16. 1t was summoned
jy Major Won Herringen. son of the
v
officers attended, and each is said
to have pledged himself to hold in
lis residence quantity of muni-
lions ready for an emergency and to
AZ semble at certain place wien
called upon. Every member Of the
plot has been requested to enlist as
m; ny officers loyal to the former
emperor as possible. it is under
stood. The government has been
warned of what is going on"
The organization of the new
bodies uf troops. the correspondent
.ys-a step alone which can save
it from the Spartacans and other ex-
tremists--.is possible only by the
government yielding to the old
officer class, which, he says. had
already bullied the government into
winking at numerous polictical
crimes and arbitrary actions which
have been committed"

May Eliminate Saluda Grade.

Spartanburg, Feb. 2S.-A survey
ing corps Of the Southern railway
is now at work near Tryon, thus
giving rise to all kinds of rumors
They arc at present running line
from the present Ashevlle-Spartan-
burg tracks across the northern sec
ton Of Polk county in the general
direction Of Rutherfordton, leaving
the present limo at Tuxedo. The
Southern has been contemplating
steps that would eliminate the Sa-
luda grade for a number Of years.
This grade is an ascent Of 900 feet
in nine miles. Several disastrous
wrecks have occurred on this
grade, and it is probable that the
present survey is being made to
find a route that will correct this
fault.

FOR DAYLIGHT SAVING.
Leading Labor Leaders Are Satis-
fled With Experiment.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Predic-
tion Of labor leaders that a national
daylight saving law making all
working hours daylight hours would
reduce the number of industrial ac-
cidents was borne out in the past
year, said Frank Morrison, secretary
of the American Federation of
Labor, in statement to-day urging
that the law be not repealed. Pro-
vision for the repeal of the act has
been attached by the Senate agri-
cultural committee as q rider to the
annual agricultural appropriation
bill. Secretary Morrison cited sta
tistics on industrial accidents in
Pennsylvania, showing that in 1918
under operation of the daylight saw
ing law the number of accidents
was 43,036 less than in 1917 and
70,772 less than in 1916. This was
due, he said, to the fact that the
later afternoon hours, when physi-
cal energy is at it's lowest, had been
eliminated from the work day end
Sivcn over 10 recreation.

Editor Financial Age--Dear Sir:
We enjoy your weekly and read
the able editorials with a great deal
Of interest We beg to differ with
you some, however, on your editorial
advising bankers to advise farmers
to sell their cotton.
One fact that is being overlooked
this time Is going to figure big in
this struggle Of the farmer to hold
the price of his product up, and that
is that the farmer is able to hold
his cotton this time.
Before the war the farmer had
to" borrow heavily from local banks
80 hn|d cotton, uoG the local handH
had ID borrow from the l2agtNrn
h9Uka. hG- nov il is entirety differ
cn, TNn a1inH lhr local l0nks
have plenty OF money to lend them,
but they do not need much money
TO help them. If you will go over
the statements OF the Southern
hanks you will find they are nearly
al flush with money. and this re-
Gardlcss of the fact that they have
ovcrsu bscribed quotas to Liberty
Bonds. Our Federal Reserve Dis
trict. if | am not mistaken. stands
third in the United States on over
subscriptions to bonds.
Now then, if the farmer is able to
hold his cotton, and willing to hold
his cotton, in an effort to get Il small
profit for his years work, it strikes
me he is entitled to some profit if
he can get 1t, and you will agree
that he has not been prOfiteer
during the war any more than the
manufacturer has. Present indca-
tions point to the fact that this
years crop will be an expensive
crop to make. and we are not in
clined to advise the farmer to sell

president but also of those who op-
pose him politically
It is said in pallation that Satur-
days meeting was not really repre-
sentative of the American forces in
France, for no provision had been
made for the selection of delegates.
There were only eight enlisted men
at the meeting. the othe"s being Of
ficers from different branches of the
service. Lieut.. Col Bcnnet Clark,
son of former Speaker Champ Clark,
presided and II fell to him to put the
motion on the invitation to the prcsi-
dent and to declare the result. The
vote was taken viva voce.
Several of the officers expressed
themselves Indignantly, and the vote
for reconsideration was taken by
groups. The fact that nine groups
voted against it has ranked.
Aside from the presidential inci-
dent, those who are interested in the
plan are apprehensive lest an organi-
zation in France may disaffect many
at home. who will regard = as an
effort to make the organization
purely an A. Il. +, affair, instead OF
Including all who were under arms.
One high officer who was present
said the incident of the address vote
was due more to stupidity than to
vicious intent, adding that it reflected
more upon those responsible for II
than upon the object of it, Many
who wished to have the association
perfected here say they will now wait
until they return to America rather
than suffer their names to be asso-
ciated with q project that has fallen
under such cloud.

Her attitude was stated by Pre-

which inspired the treaty upon which
Italy entered the war" that did not

PICHON lis misunderstood"
DECLARES FRENCH PREMIER

the contrary the impellng force lay
in the obvious fact that unless Ger
many were permitted to do business
she would be unable to pay her debts
and also because restrictions upon
any section of the economic structure
are certain to react unfortunately
upon other portions.
Military Terms Accepted.
The question Of reparation was not
gone into because of the lack of time
but it will be taken up soon.
Mr.. Wilson put in almost six hours
at the council of ten discussing the
military terms with Germany and the
Polish boundaries. No decision was
reached on the latter subject. but APP
proval was given to the military out
lines including the restrictions upon
the German army, navy and air
forces.
Pichon Was misunderstood"
The British have come around to
full support of the presidents insist
ence that the conference rule be lived
up to and the league of nations be a
part of the German peace terms. Lord
Robert Cecil and Leon Bourgeois have
assured to President Wilson the sup
port of their countries and Premier
ClomenCPdu III tn6 same vein llllOTHl-
ed the president that Minister Pichon
had been misunderstood. which is
the approved diplomatic usage in get
ting out from under.
In that connection no French paper
was permitted to print Minister
Pichon's surprising statement, in
which he said that the league could
not be included in the German treaty,
, against which is set the direct au-
thorized denial to The World Sunday
night.
The prompt withdrawal of this
French official from the position he
had assumed saved what might have
; been serious situation, for the
Americans from President Wilson
down were aroused by his action.
DO Not Fear Japan's Attitude.
Our missions reports of Ambassa-
dor Ishii's speech regarding Japan and
the league of nations don't show the
speaker in threatening role, and the
official spokesman for the American
delegation told me that no obstacles
were expected from Japan's repre-
sentatives here, although others
thought Ambassador 1shii may have
intended to add strength to the oppo-
sition to the league in America by
showing another seeming dissension.

BY Herbert Bayard Swope.
1919, by the Press Publish
ing Co
(The New York World.l


Especial Wireless Dispatch.)
Paris, March Dissension has
arisen over a plan to organize the
American expeditonary forces into n
veterans association, in combination
with a similar enterprise on foot in
America. The climax was reached
when 500 American soldiers who were
gathered at the Palais de Glace were
led into voting down a resolution to
invite President Wilson to address
them.
Later on a motion to reconsider the
former vote. inspired by realization OF
the serious mistake that had been
made, was passed, nine groups voting
against reconsideration and twenty
seven groups for 1t. Adjournment
shut off further proceedings, and so
the record of the meeting shows that
the commander in chief of the army
was exposed to an affront which was
not effectively withdrawn or cor
reeted.
Men who attended the meeting say
they are quite certain that those who
voted against the motion to invite the
president were actuated solely by the
belief that he was too busy to be
troubled This explanation Is prob
ably largely true. but there is also
reason to believe that certain indi-
viduals took advantage of the occa-
sion to play politics.
There is deep resentment over the
affair, and this /, I've feeling not only
of those who ere supporters of the
