Championing the Export Cotton as

ing declared that he had been informed
by the commercial agent Of the Ger
man government, now in the United
States, that Germany alone is in need
of 100000 bales Of cotton, that tile
Germans have the mills with which
to spin the cotton and the workmen to
operate the mills, but that their money
is so deprecated that they cannot pay
for the cotton they need in money.
Under well organized cotton ex
port organization" Governor Harding
stated, we could ship our raw cotton
to Germany under an adequate guar
antee by the German banks and the
German government. The cotton would
be manufactured into cloth and the
manufactured product disposed of to
nations whose currency has not depre-
ciated. ard in the ems the Germans
could pag us for our cotton in good
American dollars.
This system would have To extend
over a period of nine months to allow
for the shipment of cotton to Europe,
it's manufacture and the sale of the
finished product.
IN my opinion the first 10000 bales
Of cotton shipped abroad under this
system and with this guarantee would
have an instantaneous effect in slim
ulating the entire cotton situation. To
my mind it is the geratest opportunity
in the South today.
1T is up to the South to do this
thing for itself and with its own
money. The North cannot do it for the
South. The North has money, but it
likewise has use for all the money
in its possession. 1t is the duty and the
opportunity of the Southern people to
do this for themselves
