Embargo on Export
OF Cotton Modified,
Senator Smith Told

Senator Hoke Smith has been ad-
vised by letter of May % from the
war trade board of substantial modi-
fications of former orders restricting
cotton shipment to Holland, Dem
mark, Norway, Sweden and Switzer-
land, and to all ports of the Adrlat1c
and to territories adjacent to the
Adriatic ports.
The letter states that all quant1ta-
tive limitations previously Imposed
on exports have been suspended and
that applications for license to ex-
port. cotton will be considered by the
war trade board without Limitation
as to quantity. The letter further
states that cotton shipments to Jugo-
SIavia may go forward without
further formality than procuring
from the war trade board an export
license.
Senator Smith has been urging for
some weeks past more liberal license
from the war trade board for cotton
shipments to these countries ana,
while some Of the restrictions as to
modes of shipment are retained, the
he believes, should greatly facilitate
the amount of cotton that will be
sent to these countries.
Senator Hoke Smith was further
advised today by the war trade board
that cotton could now go forward
without restrictions to German
Austria.
Announcement had already been
made that cotton could go to Jugo-
Slavia. These two sections com
prise all of the old Austrian empire,

Germany S Plight
Is Her Own Fault,
Allied Reply SAYS

PARIS, May 2S.-Germany's eco
nomic status under the terms of the
peace treaty is the result of her own
behavior, particularly through the
ruthless submarine warfare, the al
lied and associated council informed
swer to his note ON the economic
question. The allied answer, which
was made public with the text
of the German note, is negative.
1t points out that the German plea is
exaggerated and Ignores the funda-
mental considerations which led to
the imposition of the terms.
The loss to world shipping through
the German submarine campaign, it
is declared in reply. was nearly thir-
teen million tons. The allies propose
to make Germany repay only four
million tons.
In answer to the German plea that
Germany will be called upon to feed
67000,000 persons, it is declared that
the peace treaty takes 5000, 900 out
of German control. 1t is added that
German agriculture is in better shape
that that of Poland, Belgium and
northern France, where the lighting
was heaviest. The Germans complain
ed that they would lose certain neces-
sary commodities. The allied reply is
that Germany can import these
goods. Germany, it is asserted, de-
stroyed the Lens coal fields, and the
coal fields taken from her in payment
for the destruction wrought still
leaves her sufficient sources Of fuel.
The Germans complained that the
population would suffer under the
treaty, which was described as a
death sentence"
The reply points out that all coun-
tries are suffering as, result of. the
war and there is no reason why Ger
many, which was responsible for the
war ShOuld not Suffer
