COTTON LOAN
IS APPROVED
War Finance Committee An
nounces Loan of 100000
For Exports
RESULTS OF CONFERENCE
Bankers Will Approach Problems
in Exporting Cotton From
New Point of View.
RESULTS OF CONFERENCE
tey The Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Approval OF
applica tion Nor a loan OF 100000 for fl
nancin5 cosfon exports was announced
today by tfse war finance corporation.
Export ofss0, 900 bales of cotton to Eng
land, France, Italy. Portugal, Japan and
Germany is involved in the transaction,
according to Eugene Meyer, director of
the corporation. The application, Mr..
Meyer added, was a direct result of a
recent conference in New Orleans with
southern bankers.
Application for the loan, he said, was
mado by an expert financing corpora
tion. Discussing the recent conference
in Washington, Atlanta and New Orleans
with exporters, manufacturers and bank
ers Mr.. Meyer declared the results were
considered satisfactory by all concern
ed" The most important result, he
said, was that the bankers are going
to approach the problems of exporting
cotton and other southern products from
a new point of view and in a more en-
ergetic manner.
Discussion developed he continued, that
in the general opinion stocks of manu-
factured goods in the hands of retailers
and wholesalers as well as manufacturers
are generally very low in this country
and abroad. 1t is not. however. within
the province of the War Finance corpOr-
alton to attempt to influence business,
Mr.. Meyer asserted, nor even to advise
business men how to conduct their busi-
ness.
1T would SEEM" Mr.. Meyer said, "op-
perfume at this moment, for merchants
to consider whether or not conditions in
the consuming market and in the pres
ent price levels of materials and goods,
do not warrant a return to more normal
procedure with respect TO the stocks. 1t
would appear that confidence was great
at the high price levels of year ago
when the business risks were certainly
larger than they are now. 1t may be
we'll for business men now to ask them
selves the question whether or not the
present lower price levels do not warrant
somewhat greater confidence than exists
at the present time. This is a matter
for each and every business man, retail
er, wholesalers and manufacturer to con-
slider for himself.
IF greater confidence were warranted
as a matter of sound bushes and Il
resumption in carrying more normal
stocks all along the line were brought
about undoubtedly a considerable part
of the load now being forced upon the
original producers of our agricultural
products and the banks in the country
districts would be generally distributed
and more easily carried by the merchants
and banks interested in the processes
that are involved in moving the raw ma
terial through the various steps that

DIXIE COUNTY
TO Be CREATED
Bill Passes Senate Without a
Dissenting Vote-Up to
the House.
(ey JOHN c. TRIcE.)

TALLAHASSEE. April 13.-County d.
vision met with friendly reception in the
senate in the two cases Wednesday after
noon in the short session left after Mr.
Bryan got through advising the leglsla-
tors.
Dixie county, to be made out of the
south end of Lafayette, went through af-
ter brief talk from Senator Weaver, as
if it were creased. Senator Weaver pro-
duced petitions from every county Off
ciaI of old Lafayette asking that the cut
be made.
Cross City is to be the temporary cOun-
tv seat Residents of the south part of
the county have to travel forty miles, if
they drive. to reach Mayo, the present
county seat.
There was no vote against the new
county in the senate. The bin was imme-
diately certified to the house.
Senator Cooper has everything lined up
for his five-way split of DeSOtO county,
the second largest in the state, and there
in favor of division, the four against the
bill being Senators Anderson. Bradshaw,
Shelley and Singletary. While all of them
are from West Florida. it is pointed out
that there is little significance in this
fact. since six senators from that part of
the state voted for the bill, The bill was
at once sent to the house.
Friends of the five-way split hope to
put the measure through the house
Thursday morning.

EVERY INFLUENCE

! hopeless, apart from such yielding on
the side of the government as the
miners themselves say they can
hardly expect. The government yes
terday met the miners half way by
agreeing to give such financial assis-
tance as would be necessary to start
the regulation of wages on a national
basis. The miners, however, insisted
on acceptance of the pooling of prof
its, which the government through
out had declared to be impossible.
This irreconciliable attitude is de-
priving the miners of any support in
the press and is apparently tending
the ALLEVIATE the sympathy of a large
section of the public who had been i'm
pressed during the course of the dis
pute with the justice of the miners
claims for greater consideration than
the owners had given in recent wage
offers.
Organized labor, however. is stead
lily consolidating on the side of the
miners. The amalgamated society of
locomotive men and firemen. whose
attitude previously had been doubt
full. decided today to strike with the
triple alliance. The executive of the
railroad clerks association also rec
commended joining the strike. The
electrical workers of London but not
of the whole kingdom, threaten to
strike. There is still some question
as to whether a strike of all members
of the triple alliance is possible Fri
day. According to the constitutions
of the respective sections, the railroa d
men may be called on to strike with
out ballot, but the transport work.
ers are required to take a ballot be-
fore a strike is called.
A manifesto is issued late tonight
by the triple alliance. in which this
body emphatically supports the min
ers' claim, contends that such reduc-
tions in the miners earnings mo trade
union in the past ever accepted" and
declares that if accepted, at would be
a disgrace to trade unionism of the
world"

he said. Their statements were prac>
tically the same as those which were
presented to my predecessor in office
and I shall consider them carefully IN
connection with the subject and after
consulting with the president and the
senate committee which has been ap-
pointed to determine whether or not
any policy should be adopted to ex-
tend general clemency to them. 1 as

WASHINGTON. April 13.-Tnquiry in
diplomatic circles here today failed to de-
velop any disposition to challenge the
soundness of the announced position OF
the American government that the Uni
ted States has an equal right with the
allied powers in the disposal of the for
mer German overseas possessions.
While France alone has replied to Sec
retary Hughes notes TO the four great
powers on this subject, it is gathered
from these inquiries that the exchanges
now believed to be in progress between
japan and Great Britain win result in the
admission of such American rights. 1t is
expected however, that there will be
some variance of views regarding the
practical application of the general prin-
ciples
France in her note transmitted through
Ambassador Jusserand, is understood to
have accepted the American view, and

LONDON, April 13th.,-Premiei
Lloyd George has provided the lead
ers of the Triple alliance with anoth-
er opening for renewal of negotia-
tions in the miners strike and gen.
eral strike of railroad men and trans
port workers in support of it, by ask
ing for the grounds of their refusal
of the governments offer. And any
influence the labor leaders who are
outside the orbit of the actual conflict
may be able to exert on the dispu-
tants, seems for the moment to be the
remaining slender thread upon which
industrial peace hangs. That such
attempts at mediation will continue
and that there are still two days be-
fore the general strike becomes op-
erative are the only hopeful signs.
After the receipt of the announce
ment of the triple alliance" that its
members would be called from their
work Friday night, Premier LLOYD
George sent the following reply to the
alliance:
Dear Mr.. Thomas general secretary
OF the railroad union) and Mr.. VIII
Jams (secretary of the transport
workers federation)

decision you report is a grave one.
You threaten Friday night, to dislo-
cate the whole of the transport SER

on which you are determined to in
flict such serious blow on your fell
low countrymen."
