OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Oct l.
Opening the markets Of the world to
American surplus through the league
of nations will not check legitimate
decline in the cost of living, Governor
James M. Cox asserted at the Okla
homa state fair grounds here today.
Failure of the United States to en-
ter the league and assist in opening
the markets of the world has caused
the price of cotton. wheat, corn and
other raw materials to drop, while
"the large consumers of raw materials
in the United Stated States are taking
unfair advantage of the situation by
cheating the producer on the one hand
and exploiting the consumer on the
other hand" Cox said
