providing for permanent peace. To re-
fuse to take the necessary step now to
place the influence of the United States
on the side of reduction in armament
which means world peace, would be q
crime against the living and the dead
who fought in the last war, and a
crime against God and humanity
Out of every dollar collected last
year from the taxpayers of America, 90
cents went for war purposes. By set
ting the example in the way of cutting
| down war expenditures in time of peace
we would not only show to tho world
that we are willing to practice what we
preach in the matter of reduction in ar
mament, but we would greatly reduce
the tax burden of the American people,
| Equipped as we are today for war
there is no excuse for increasing our
war equipment at the expense of the
already overwhelmed taxpayers of the
country.
I want to see American merchant
ships flying the American flag as they
| carry American produce into all the
marts of trade.
I want to see the instrumentalities of
our government operated so as to give
the largest announcement and great
est freedom possible to enterprise and
industry in all the fields of honest en-
deavor, to the end that meddlesome,
useless restraints may not be permit
ted to retard the growth and develop
ment of those mighty agencies of
American progress and prosperity.
Says Labor Should BE Paid
So far as it is in the province of
government, no public policy should
ever be permitted that would deny to
labor wholesome living wage: that
would deny to the, farmer profitable
price for his produce or that would pre-
vent the manufacturer from conducting
a profitable business. 1t Is the business
of government to prevent the strong
from depressing the weak, and to en-
force the laws of Justice. In a country
rich and resourceful as ours. there
should be ample reward for every one
who employs his money or his skill and
energy in the great workshop of Amer
lea. We must see to it in the future
that none but those who would make
desirable citizens shall come here and
take up their abode in the United
States. Some have come and are here
now who do not appreciate the bless

fluence of America from such an ar
rangement the collapse came and
American agriculture and commerce
are now paying the penalty. There
ought not to be any politics In the mat
ter OF building up our foreign trade
and promoting the peace of the world
Both are essential to the prosperity and
happiness of the American people.
Modern war has become so expensive
so dangerous and deadly that the ques-
ton of how to prevent war in the flu
ture is the most vital question that con-
fronts the human race today. This ma
ton by example can do more today to-
ward promoting world peace than any
other country on the globe. We must
not forget the burdens imposed upon us
by the last war. the sacrifices that we
made in blood and treasure. We must
not forget that the tax burdens under
which we groan today came through
the operations of a terrible war that
cost in four years time more than half
the wealth of the world.
Is not this the time to give the world
new birth of freedom from the cost
and curse of murderous modern war?
Now. while the nations are sick Of
blood and slaughter-now before the
old order of each becoming an armed
camp is again established by sordid sell
fish interests in European countries;
now when all thoughtful peoples real
lie the necessity for creating an inter-
national tribunal for the promotion of
peace and prevention of war Is the
time to provide for the settlement of
international disputes by arbitration
and to begin the work of reducing the
size of national war equipment. We
cannot afford to permit those who
profit financially by selling to the gov
eminent enormous oulays of materials
for building up a colossal war machine
to put the success of their traffic In
war implements above the safety of
our sons. the prosperity of our country
and the future peace and happiness of
the world. We are all in favor of an
adequate navy and we have such a navy
now. No navy in all the world excels
1t in size and potential power but one,
and that Is Great Britains, the mother
country.

can better afford to lead the nations in

ALABAMA DIVISION OF COTTON
ASSOCIATION ISSUES FIGURES.

Montgomery, May 29.-(Special)-
The Alabama division of the American
Cotton association has been carrying
on a strenuous campaign for radical
reduction in acreage planted to cotton
this year, and has just completed tab
ulating reports received from its cor
respondents in every county of the
state. The results from this work
are shown in the following table, re-
leased by W. r. Greene. secretary,
Saturday afternoon:

Total .......s5.45o.OOO 1919 24.56s.4ss

With reduction Of 1918 per cent
in the cotton acreage for 1912, and
with seasons similar to those Of 1870,
and disreg arding reduction in use OF
commercial fertilizers and estimated
abandonment of acreage after plant
ing this year, the estimated yield or
the 1921 crop would be 9,142,09S bale5.
Allowing a reduction in production
this year of IL per cent on account of
the reduction of SLIT per cent in the
use of commercial fertilizers, added to
the acreage production of 30.73 per
cent, making an estimated total of
47.68 per cent, the forecast of produc-
ton for 1921, compared with the
1920 Group, would be 7,55S,365 bales.
If the estimated abandoned acreage
after planting of 4.95 per cent (due to
the inability of farmers to secure
credits, and to adverse weather con-
ditions) is added to the above esti-
mate, making a grand total percentage
of 47.6S, the estimated production for
1921, as compared with the production
of 1920, would be 6905,075 bales.
Should the estimated percentage of
reduction in acreage of 30.73 and IL
per cent allowed for the 51.17 per cent
reduction in the use of commercial
fertilizers, making total of 42.73 per
cent, be applied to the five-year aver
80S,3S9 bales the estimated production
for 1921 would be, 6,762,664 bales.
The estimated reduction in cotton
acreage for 1921 to 24,563,4S6 acres as
shown by the tabluated reports above,
closely approximate the acreage for
1897, when there was planted 24,319,-
5s4 acres.
The above estimates on probable pro
duction are presented as basis OF
what the cotton trade may expect from
the present outlook of a crop so heayl-
ly reduced in acreage and in the use
of commercial fertilizers, reinforced by
late seasons, bad stands and the pres
ent activities of the cotton boil weeT1l.
No man may forecast production with
any degree of accuracy at this time,
but taking the past as guide ana
recognizing existing adverse conditions
to the growing crop, we may reason
ably expect the smallest crop of cot
ton in 1921 which has gone upon the
markets since 1895, or within the past
25 years.
