Harding Phones
Greetings to. Cotton
Men in New York City

washington, May 30-EHOrtS to
promote interests of the cotton in
dustry were Endorsed by President
Harding today in a telephone mes
sage opening the meeting of the
American Cotton Association in New
York City
Il am glad to say a word to the
gathering of American cotton grow
ers, manufacturers and representa-
tives of affiliated interests, gathered
there to consult with a view to ad-
vancement of their common inters
ests," he said.
Not only does America produce
about so per cent Of the worlds sup
ply of this universally necessary
staple, but our domestic. industries,
based on cotton, are among the great
est, while our exports of cotton have
for many decades been peculiarly
important in maintaining our favor
able status in international trade.
1.-The Importance of cotton is not
confined to any section; everybody
either grows, deals in, manufactures
sells or uses it. Any disaster to the
disaster to the whole country. Any
movement, usch as yours. which
asms to promote the best interests of
all concerned in the industries, based
on cotton, deserves the cordial ap-
prevail of all the people
Just at this time it is recognized
that cotton industries face critical
situation. and you may be assured
that the administration desires in
every possible way to cooperate with
those seeking toS improve conditions.
ITO the, American delegates who
are about to leave for England to- at
tend the world cotton conference /
want to express my hope that the
meeting may be successful and may
contribute, not alone to the contin-
ued development of the cotton in
dustry, but toward the restoration of
sound economic conditions through
out the world"

AMERICAN TENNIS
STARS FARE BADLY
IN FRENCH PLAY

Saint Cloud, France, May 30-(By
the Associated Press-The defeat of
Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, Amer
lean women's singles tennis cham
pion, and William T. Tilden of Phil
ade4phia, worlds grass courts cham
pion, by Miss Holman and j. T..
Bains of England in the mixed dou-
bles of the worlds hard court
championships here today complet-
ed disastrous day for the American
team members. All except Mrs. NAL
lory, Arnold Jones and Tilden were
eliminated, although Tiiden started
the day suspiciously by putting out
w. c. Crawley. the best bet of the
British team, in the mems singles.
Tilden's form, however, was not con-
vincing he being sluggish and I'M
certain in his play, which was furth-
err emphasized by the manner in
which he played in the mixed
doubles.
The defeat of Mrs. Mallory and
Tilden came as the biggest surprise
of the tournament, as victory for the
American team had been looked up
on as a foregone conclusion by the
spectators and the players including
the American team. The only Amer
lean survivors now are Tilden in the
mems singles, Mrs, Mallory in the
women's singles, and Tilden and Ar
mold Jones in the mems doubles.
The day was bad one for tennis.
It was blistering hot at the opening
of the matches TAT two o'clock this
afternoon and then occasional heavy
showers made the courts heavy.
When Tilden and Mrs. Mallory play
ed the last game a cold wind swept
across the court, causing the spec
tators to leave stands despite their
great interest in the match. The at
tendance apparently favored the
British.
For the first time in the history
of tennis in France Royalty was rep
resented when Princess Kapurthala
and Prince Bharpur Slngh OF lndla
won the mixed doubles by default
from Mile Speranza of France and
M. Ashlandguil of Armenia. Both
the royal players were ready to go
on and played an exhibition set.
After his match with Crawley Til
den complained of soreness III his
arm and-also an attack OF the in
digestion which bothered him a
great deal throughout his practice.
He seems unable to get used to
French cooking. Despite his some
what sluggish covering Tilden was
tired after the match with Crawley
and retired to the club house for a
rest before engaging in the mixed
doubles against Mr.. Bains and Miss
Holman.

whether the government would adopt
the suggestion of colonial autonomy
for north and south Ireland and have

Lloyd-George said that even if parlia-
ment approved such proceeding, Il
have reason to believ it would not be
accepted by the men responsible for
the violence in Ireland, but on the
contrary would be regarded by them
as weakness on part of the British
government and an encouragement to
