CUT In COTTON
CROP IS LEGAL,
SENATOR SMITH
ADVISES SOUTH
Antitrust Law Specifically Excludes
Associations of Farmers to Maim-
tain Prices, He Says

ATLANTA, April 21.-That the cur
tailment of the cotton crop for the
increased production of food is legal,
and that no procedure can be taken
by the federal government to interfere
with this plan of the Southern cot
ton planters, is the opinion of United
States Senator Hoke Smith, who was a
members of the sub committee of the
senate in the fall of 1913, when the
Clayton bill was before congress.
Senator Smith says that it was ex-
pressly provided at that time that
nothing contained in the antitrust
laws should be construed to forbid the
existence and operation of agricultu-
raj organizations from lawfully car
rying out legitimate objects thereof;
nor should such organizations be con-
strued as Illegal combinations or con-
spiracies in restraint of trade. Fur
thermore, says Senator Smith, it was
provided in the appropriation bill for
the enforcement of the antitrust laws,
that no part of the appropriation
should be expended for the prosecu>
ton of producers of farm products and
associations of farmers who coop
crate and organize in an effort to
maintain fair and reasonable price
for their products
Senator Smith says that he believes
no procedure contrary to these pro-
visions can be sustained in court.
In discussing further the cotton
situation, Senator Smith, who ever
since he has been in the senate has
given much thought and time to the
broadening of the markets for the
sale of cotton, and who for some
months past has been uring the War
Trade Board to issue license freely
for the shipment of cotton ior for
eign countries, says that hN is con-
vinced that all the markets of middle
and northern Europe will open in
very short time for the sale of cotton.
In order to be prepared for this
he urges that all cotton merchants in
Georgia and throughout the United
States to prepare at once to meet the
demand for cotton which must come
quickly in those markets.

Lloyd George, CIemenceau and Or

Present
GERMAN REPLY TO ULTlMATlIM
ON DELEGATES POWER AWAITED
Not to Receive Representatives not
Having Power to Conduct and
Negotiate Peace
(By Associated Press.)

The Italian parliament, which was
to have met Wednesday of this week
will not convene until May 6. The
postponement evidently was caused by
the failure of the Council of Four TO
reach solution of the Adriatic prob
lem.
Paris dispatches indicate that ItaIy's
unyielding attitude has reached a
critical stage. The news from Paris
Sunday showed that the representa-
tives of Great Britain, France and
Italy, which signed the Treaty Of
London in 1915, were in conference
and that President Wilson was not
present. President Wilson has stood
out against the recognition of the
Treaty of London.
