Ex-Governor Manning of South
Carolina presented tbs case for the
Cotton association, pointing out
that the association while speaking
primarily for cotton really included
in it's wishes all staple agricultural
products. He emphasized that the
Cotton association was not asking
for anything, but had come rather
for the purpose of getting better
understanding of the boards policy
with respect to creditssor the ORDER
ly marketing of agricultural pro-
ducts.
Governor Harding, responding
for the board, emphasized the thor
ough agreement of the board with
the American Cotton association in
the desire for the gradual, orderly
maketing of staple agricultural pro-
ducts, especially cotton.
Governor Harding with more than
ordinary emphasis drew attention to
the fact that there seemed to be an
ordinary effort to mislead the pub
lie as to the policy of the federal
reserve board touching the matter
of the contraction of credits to es-
sential industries, including es-
pecially all agricultural products.
While stating that the board had
undertaken to reduce credits for
non-essential and for speculative
purposes, Mr.. Harding pointed out
that it was not now the policy of
the board, nor had it been, nor
would it be restrict credits for the
assistance of essential industries
and especially agriculture. He pro-
duced figures to show that from
September 1st, 1920, there had
been a larger extension of credits
for essential purposes than at any
period in the history of the country,
except the period of 1917-1s, and
that since the end of August this
year on account of crop moving de-
mand federal reserve note issues
have increased at a rate of from
thirty to forty millions of dollars a
week, and that bills discounted in
vaults of the federal reserve banks
had increased at a rate of about
fifty millions of dollars a week.
Governor Harding stated that
whatever liquidation had gone on
through the federal reserve system
recently was for the purpose of
putting the member banks in a posi-
tion to take care of this very situa-
tion which he foresaw more than a
year ago. The impression was dis
tinctly given that the boards policy
was sympathetic to an orderly move
ment of the crops, and that such
movement was a necessary depend
ent to a large extent upon the
credit situation.
Among other suggestions Cover
nor Harding spoke of the need for
the formation of export corpora
tions under the terms of the Edge
act and drew attention to the fact
that under these terms of this act
the capital stock of such corpora
might be subscribed in cotton. He
referred to recent conversations
with several Washington represen-
tatives of Central European coun-
tries, who expressed the desire of a
need for low grade cotton, but who
pointed out that these countries
could not go into the market unless
credits could be extended to their
manufacturers for periods of from
six to nine months. These manufac-
turers would give as collateral liens
upon the cotton in process of manu-
facture backed by a joint endorse
ment of consortium of banks and
further guaranteed by the govern
ment themselves.
