Mr. Powell, who has been giving the work of the Association the most careful study, has been advised of the results of these conferences and makes the following statement:
 Tt was conceded that, from the pro duction of cotton in he South, the producer has failed to receive any thing like a fair price, and that he had enriched every section of the world, where cotton was used com mercially, except the cotton produc ing section. to which the production of cotton had only brought poverty, followed by various other uneco- homie conditions.
 Tt was conceded that~the work of the American Cotton Association in promoting economic reforms, would result in the saving of one years cotton crop out of every ten, or around two hundred millions of dol lars per annum, which now goes to loss, and would result in placing the marketing machinery in the hands of the cotton producer, where it rightful- 1y belongs, warehousing cotton and selling same only when the manufac- turers will pay profitable price. thus bringing benefits nationwide.
 1t was conceded in the conference with the spinners, that the only part the South had played in the cotton ln- dustry was the producing end of the business and that they had no voice in the marketing of the same, and that the successful organization of the American Cotton Association meant an absolute revolution in the hand ling and marketing of Americas great cotton crop, and that this change would bring tremendous, unthinkable benefits to both the producer of cot ton and the consumer of cotton goods.
 The great National Association of Manufacturers of Finished Products from cotton goods, urge in the strong est terms that the interests of the producer and themselves are largely mutual and that, in justice to both the producer and themselves and to the consumer of cotton goods, these two Associations should form joint plans for the purpose of removing every possible loss in the handling of the American cotton crop and to as- sure direct dealing between the pro- ducer, manufacturer and consumer that is, the removal of all unneces- sary midd!emen."
