DENIES EXTENSION
OF COTTON LOANS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 Re
quests of the American Cotton Asso-
citation for Governmental aid in financ-
ing the marketing of the cotton crop
of the South were denied today by
Governor Harding of the Federal Re-
serve Board.
The representatives of the Asso-
citation asked extension of credit on
cotton loans estimated at approx
mately $5OO,OOOOOO in order to per-
NIT growers to hold their cotton and
prevent dumping on the market at a
loss.
Abe solution of the problem facing
Southern Cotton Producers, Governor
Harding said, lies with the producers
themselves and in their home banks.
Go back home and tell the people
to quit talking calamity said the
governor, suggesting that the cotton
men sell their high grade stock as
demands arose, which would enable
them to gradually liquidate their
debts and hold their low grade cotton
for better market.
Wannamaker Issues Statement
The Federal Reserve Board is keen
ly alive to the Importance of doing
everything to sustain agriculture in all
sections of the country, the governor
told the association members, but he
added that the board was not author
lied to deal in prices, though its ac-
ton might have an effect on them.
Recent estimates of the value of this
years staple crops are $2200O,000, 1000
the governor stated, and expansion
OF credit to assist producers in all
parts of the country would mean
about $3,000,000,000 in loans.
After the conference, John S. Wan
namaker, of St. Mathews, S. c., presi-
dent OF the association, issued a state
ment which said:
Governor Harding this morning
stated to committee of the Ameri-
can Cotton Association that the Fed
eral Reserve system is prepared for
such credit expansion as may be nee
essary to move the crops, and called
attention to the desirability of the
formation of an export corporation
by Southern cotton interests.
