Cotton Association Officer Declares Government Could Aid Grower Under Reserve Act If
 Officials Act

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 2s.- Plans for a nationwide protest against the farm credit policy of the federal re- serve banks as announced in a re- cent statement by Secretary Houston were made here today at conference attended by J. J. Brown, Georgia commissioner of agriculture; R. A. Maddox, president of the Georgia d- vision. of the American Cotton asso- citation and Harvie Jordan, secretary of the organization.
 In his recent statement, Secretary Houston pointed out steps that fed eral reserve banks were taking to help move crops but declared "that the government cannot be a party to an undertaking to hold commodity off the market to enable the owners artificially for speculative purposes to maintain war prices or higher than war prices.
 "Secretary Houston's statements have already hammered down the price of cotton 15O points," Commits sioner Brown asserted in state. ment after the conference. "As long as the spinner is making $4 worth o1 cloth out of every forty cents worth of cotton," he added, " is not worth while to talk to the cotton grove, about deflating the cotton market He asserted that similar situation existed regarding the miller and the wheat grower.
 "The federal reserve act explicit ly provides credit facilities for the producesrs of farm crops, the intent of this being to enable them to hold their crops for favorable markets said MT. Brown.

 to Know What
 is Harding Stand

 Senator Harding in his speech at Baltimore last night" MT. Roosevelt said, "declared that he was opposed to going into that league, referring to the league of nations as it was fashioned at Versailles. The people have {. right to know whether he means that specifically that league without reservations or whether he means that league regardless of what reservations are offered or whether as Hiram Johnson pretends to be- l:eve, he proposes to scrap the pres ent league altogether.
 "The really important thing as it srikes me. is the fact that the Re- publican candidate naively admits that he is without single program constructive in character about an association of rat.cns
 "Whatever shortcomings Governor Cox or myself may possess" MT. Roosevelt continued, Git cannot be charged that ;n this campaign, con fronted by the vital issues that are befors us, We have failed to state in plain words just where we stood. It cannot be charged that we have made advances to that disloyal pro-Ger- man element that did all it could to hamper our government in the conduct of the war. We favor going in and we Iropose that the Ameri' can nation shall now. as it has al ways done, live up to the fullest o1 the obligations it les incurred."
