to advices reaching official circles here.
Zinovief was more non-committal
with regard to conditions in Germany.
where he represented a split between
factions to have weakened the cause.
a similar condition. he stated. was
true in Italy, where the situation was

The first step :hat should be taken

PRESIDENT PHONES
COTTON DELEGATES

f. saqe of Assurance.

Efforts to promote interests of the
cotton industry were indorsed by
President Harding today in a tele-
rhone message opening the meeting
of the American Cotton Association in
New York city.
IT am glad to say a word to the
gathering of American cotton grow
ers, manufacturers and representa-
tiveS Of affiliated interests. gathered
to consult with a view to advance
rnent of their common interests" Mr..
Harding said.
America Leads World.
Not only does America produce
about so per cent of the worlds sup
ply of this universally necessary sta
pie. but our domestic industries,
est. while our exports of cotton have
n>decades been peculiarly impor-
tant in maintaining our favorable
status in international trade.
The Importance of cotton is not
confined TO any section. Everybody
sells or uses it. Any disaster to the
cotton industry must necessarily be
disaster to the whole country Any
movement. such as yours, which aims
to promote the best interests OF all
concerned in the Industries. based on
cotton, deserves the cordial approval
of all the people.
Backed by administration.
~JuSt at this time it is recognized
that cotton industries face A critical
situation. and you may be assured
that the administration desires, in
every possible way. to cooperate
wit those seeking to improve con-
ditIcns.
ITO the American delegates who arc
about to leave for England to attend
the world cotton conference, l want
to express my hope that the meeting
may be successful, and may con-
tribute. not alone to the continued
development of the cotton industry.
but toward the RESTORATION of sound
