WASHINGTON. Nov. 29.-Increas-
ing demands for early relief from eX-
listing financial, business and agri-
cultural conditions are piling up the
desks of the Republican leaders OF
congress.
Despite repeated declarations that
the approaching winter session will
be devoted almost exclusively to APP
preparation measures, it was admit
ted congress may be forced to pass
emergency legislation to meet the
acute domestic problems pressing
for immediate solution.
The situation is one that is giving
the Republican leaders grave con-
Germ, they said, but until the return
of President elect Harding from
Panama, they will continue to mark
time" They want to consult him be-
fore mapping out complete pro-
gram for the coming session. 1t was
explained.

Immediate Action.
BY the time Harding is due here
Washington will be filling with rep
resentatives of those financial. bust
ness and agricultural interests which
are seeking immediate action on tax
and other legislation. These inter-
ests do not desire to wait until the
new congress is called in extra ses-

There are other interests that have
expressed opposition to a. higher pro-
tective tariff which they declare

swapping" its goods for those OF
foreign countries and building up

Still others would have President
Wilson invoke his war powers and
employ some agency like the war
trade board to place an embargo on
those imports with which American
producers say they are unable. TO
compete. They also favor a revival
of the war finance corporation as
another means of meeting the exist

When congress meets it will find

Their reasons given for this are:
First, the receipt is the receipt of an
efficient established financial organiza :
ton of 100000 capital; second, the
receipt is q promise of a certain con-
summation of the sale of cotton and a
return in money within a specified
number of months; third, because the
shipment of this cotton shows dis
position on the part of the owner to
finally dispose of raw material which
Is now of unknown value.
II am grateful to you for this OPP
portunity to express our approval OF
your corporation and at the same time
to give you partial outline of our cor
poration.s Our contracts contemplate the
shipment of several hundred thousand
bales of cotton, not less than 10000 OF
which will go out by Dec. l5. This
cotton is now on hand, being made
ready for shipment. Our organization
