ASSERTS EUROPE
WOULDPAYF FORTY
CENTSFOR COTTON

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Central
Europe would buy the entire south
ern cotton crop at forty cents a
pound today if proper credit condi-
lions could be arranged, E. S. Butler,
president Of the New Orleans cotton
exchange, declared before the house
agricultural committee. Opposing
the bills before the committee which
would eliminate all speculation in
cotton futures on exchanges, Mr..
Butler said farmers six months ago
could have sold their entire crop Of
cotton at 80 cents pound.
Elimination of all speculation in
future trading would be disastrous to
cotton producers and to the trade
generally since it would force ex-
changes to close, Mr. Butler assert
ed. Regulatory legislation enacted
in the United States could not affect
the future cotton market at Liver
pool, he added and it would leave the
market and they would be able to
dictate the price of cotton.
America and Europe for forty
years have recognized the future
trading as the best insurance yet de-
Vised for the cotton trade, Mr.. But
Ter said. He also advocated reten-
ton of hedging" facilities on the
ground that it enables the farmers
to find a market for their commodity
at any time during the year. The
legitimate Spectator is the only
"buffer" between the farmer and the
consumer, whose interests are dia-
metrically opposed, he continued.

Mr.. Boyle said lumber manufac-
