HELP FOR COTTON GROWERS
Extension of Time on Cotton Loans
and Additional Credits Are Pro-
posed BY SoIons.

Observation-Disclosures Of atfordins
relief to the cotton growers of the
south were considered at a meeting
of senators from the southern states
with Secretaries Wallace and Hoover
The situation confronting the cotton
growers was canYassed from all an
giles and it was agreed that some
means Of relief must be Immediately
attempted. The two cabinet members
were said to have agreed to the sug-
gestion put forward by the southern
senators that means be found to en-
able banks to make an extension on
the cotton paper now held and also
to place additional credit at the hands
of the growers.
The general belief OF those partici-
pating in the conference was de-
scribed as favorable 70 consideration
of the plight of the cotton growers
Immediately, the situation facing the
cattle growers of the west having
been alleyiated. 1t was not believed
that additional legislation would be
necessary, and it was thought that
action by congress should be avoided
in the interest Of speed.
Senator Smith, of South Carolina,
who was largely responsible for the
meeting, announced that another CON
ference would be called soon to work
out definite details for affording the
necessary relief,

ATTACK ON BONUS
PLAN BY SEN. BORAH.
METHOD is UNJUST TO SOLDIERS
AND OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
TO REPUBLICAN PARTY.
PLEDGES CANNOT BE MET
Idaho Republican Leader Counters
After MoCumher Had Made Pro-
posals to Pay in Cash or its.
Equivalent.

Washington Proposals to pay In
cash. valuable services, or land,
bonus to former service men were adj
yocated in the senate by Senator Nc
.Cumber, republican, North Dakota, and
made the subject of savage onslaught
by Senator Borah, republican, Idaho
Senator McCumber earlier in the
day discussed the bonus bill along
with other fiscal legislation with Pres
ident Harding and after leaving the
White House said his conference had
given him the feeling that the presi-
dent expected legislation to be enacted
at the persent extra session.
Senator Borah launched his attack
principally at the method and delay
involved in the making of payments
under the bill, declaring it "discred-
table to the republican party. The
courageous thing to do" he said, lis
to tell the soldiers you cannot pay
them in cash
Senator McCumber, attacking war
time profiteering, said the adjusted
compensation was a matter Of Justice
and that the word bonus" had re-
suited in unjusified criticism.
IF the republican party is cour-
ageous and honorable it will send this
bill back to committee" Senator Bor-
ah asserted, "and do one of two
things: tell the country and the sol
diers that the bonus can't be paid in
cash, or face the prospect of doing it.
This bill undertakes to promise four
billions in cash to the soldiers, and
to promise to the taxpayers that it
will not cost them anything,
q venture to say that every serv-
Ice man understands that it is prop
osition to give him $500 or $500 in
cash. In fact, it proposed to give him
$50 in July, 1922, and then $50 every
/ four or five months thereafter Why
the delay, If this is moral obliga
ton of our country, delay for three
years and half after the war? 1t is
because we dare not put upon our con
stituents this four billion dollar OBJ
Hgation, and then go out and tell then
1t is done. The scheme is unjust tt

table to the senate of the United
| States"

so wonderful that the people could
hardly believe they were seeing some

But while the Sun was going to bed
