Relief for the cotton producers of
the South, who are facing q financial
crisis, Is one of the big problems
which the Administration is facing
today.
Under the direction of President
Harding. all of the Federal depart
ments concerned are uniting In an
effort to devise some means by which
the necessary relief can be afforded
to the Southern producers
Secretary OF Commerce Hoover Is
conferring today with the presidents $
of various cotton associations of the
South In an effort to secure their
views on the situation and their sug-
gestfons for remedy. These confer
ences are preliminary to a conference
which President Harding will hold
with leaders in the cotton industry on
Monday. and the Presidents confer
ence will probably be followed by a
general conference of those interested
in cotton.
The Treasury Department and the
War Finance Corporation are work.
Ing upon plans whereby the exporta-
tion of cotton may be financed and
credits may be established to relieve
those producers who now face fore
closures on cotton loans.
Establishment OF n corporation, un-

the Federal Reserve Board, in a re-
port upon the foreign trade and

The boards report sshow that 53e
steel vessels of the Shipping Board
are either idle or have been with
drawn from commercial operations.
There also are 286 wooden vessels

one-third of the nations merchant
