extinguished by the fire department
early last night. The damage caused
was slight.
The fire evidently originated in the

enough to prevent much loss. About

THE FUTURE
OF EUROPE
Bankrupt Nations Must Work
Out Their Own Salvation
OPINION. ON BUDA-
PEST ECONOMIST
The United States With All
Their Wealth Cannot Recon-
struct Europe BY Loans

Budapest. Sept. 10.-"Ihe peoples
OF Europe are in a dark, deep pit and
they must work themselves out Of it,"
says Roland Hegedus, bank director
and lecturer at the Budapest Uni
versity.
THE United States is richer than
Europe by loans. All the nations Of
Europe are beset with a succession Of
political and economic problems that
are wellnigh insolvable.
Russia is the key to che situation
and until some sort Of consistent gov
ernment is estab ablished there, we can
hope for little here.
What the United States can DO,
perhaps, is to work to secure free
trade among these central European
countries. No, q of us can do any
business with tariff frontiers.
Il believe the paper money situa-
ton will force revision Of the peace
treaties All these little nations are
living from hand to mouth, printing
up money to keep going. Poland is
hardly year old and already she has
national debt Of 30,00O, 900, 900
marks, with a 10000 100000 deficit
The same is more or less true of
Czecho- Slovakia. of Hungary and Of
all of us. The armies are eating up
half our incomes. yet each nation is
l'afraii to disarm because Of possible
attacks from nejghbors.
with this paper money carnival,
central Europe can not trade with
countries having better moneys, such
as Spain, Holland and Switzerland.
This situation also applies to Italy and
| France.
Meanwhile our civilization is 60
| ing by the board. Because OF the ex-
change, our universities and reading
people can not afford to subscribe for
| science or law publications Of England
or the United States.
| For the same reason our educat
ed but impoverished classes can not
go abroad to find work. provided they
could secure passports
These conditions are not altogeth-
err the results of big war but of a
bad peace which. has fallen harder
on Hungary, than any other country.
God made her the center of a geo
graphical unit and the peace frontiers
ruin not only new Hungary but the
parts taken away"

All that we have to DO this year 10
make the south independently rich by
obtaining for once profit on cotton
u TO adopt the method outlined by the
American Cotton association at the
Montgomery meeting. The price fixing
committee recommended a price of 40
cents scaling the price upwards one
cent month after the first of Octo-
her.
This committee weighed the situa-
tion very carefully and viewed It from
every angle and standpoint, and fixed
the price according to the law OF cost
OF production and supply and demand
OF raw cotton. We realized that this
was going TO he another very short
crop, the sixth In succession. There
will never be another crop as large as
those we had prior to 1914.
The association recommended that
rs per cent Of the best grades Of the
1920 cotton crop be put aside and
withheld from market for about O
year. Also We recommended that one
third OF the cotton land planted in
1920 In cotton be sowed In grain and
planted In food crops.
"A committee was appointed to look
into the advisabiiity Of organizing an
export corporation that they might be
able to get some OF these low grades
OF cotton into the markets Of the
world, as needed.
1T was urged to market this crop
very slowly. According to the law Of
supply and demand, by the withhold
Ing OF this crop from the market we
are bound In q very short time to sea
cotton very much higher.
The spinners OF the world have
very short stocks and are obliged to
nave cotton. We are going to make
them deliver the goods. Even II cot
ton should go TO so cents. cotton goods
could sell of. from present prices and
yet leave handsome profit for the
mill'. The farmers are not proiiteers.
They do not wish to extort from the
public, but they do resent having the
world told that the high price OF cot
ton causes the high prices OF fabrics,
when this Is absolutely untrue"
