POSTPONE ACTION
ON BONUS MEASURE
Believe Present Congress Will

Ry United Press:
WASHINGTON. April 29-The
soldiers bonus bill seems out Of luck

tons became clear today that the
measure cannot pass for several
months and even then il viii mean
little 20 the buddie who wants the
cash. No revenue raising provisions
are provided and the bonus couldn't
be paid for lack OF funds. even with
the present bill enacted.
The plan now is not 10 make the
bonus effective until June. 1922. and
members are worried over how the
necessary revenue is to be raised
then.
This does not mean a disinclina-
ton in congress TO grant the bonus
and 10 do whatever is possible for
world war veterans. The difficulty
is that no member of either the
house or senate has vet been able
to propose n plan for raising the
money-from S1,5OOO00OO0 to So
600. 600, OOO-without also raising
taxes.

IRISH ELECTIONS TO
BE HELD MAY FIRST

London, April 19.-Steps to bring
into operation the Irish act, provid'
ing for home rule in the island, were
taken today by the British govern
ment. This law, which, was described
by King George as the fruit of thir'
ty years Of ceaseless controversy,
was passed by parliament on De-
cember 81, last, and. received roya
assent a short time later. Sinn Feir
leaders in Ireland have been out
spoken in their opposition to the
measure. -. -. .v. .. ~ ..-...
Elections Of members Of northern
and Irish parliaments will be held on
May 8 under present plans. Sherifs
will be directed to proceed with the
preliminary steps Of the elections
but it seemed probable the southern
section of Irland would ignore the
provisions of the law.
The Irish act provides for selec-
tion of a senate by the parliament of
each section. After this is done, the
two houses Of each parliament will
elect twenty members Of the council
of forty, which will act as the con-
Meeting link between the two legis-
lative bodies. This council will, it is
hoped, by the sponsors Of the law,
provide means for bringing the
gap between the parliaments and
uniting them into one body in the
future.

GREAT COTTON SELLING
ORGANIZATION FORMED
Cotton Growers From Ten States Support Co.
operative Marketing Associations Detail
ed Plans Worked Out at Conference in -
:. Oklahoma Under Guidance Of "
Aaron Sapiro, ~,

oklahoma City, Okla, April 19.-
Representatives in conference here
of cooperative marketing associations
for cotton, now formed or IN process
of formation upon identical lines in
ten cotton States producing "a per
cent of all American cotton, Tuesday
adopted tentative, but highly detailed
plans for national overhead selling
agency.
If the intentions of it's promoters
are realized it will become within the
next two years the largest and most
important single business enterprise
in the world. The name of the new
unit will be The American Cotton
Growers Exchange.
The conference which began Mon
day, was called by Carl Williams,
chairman of the organization com
mittee of the Oklahoma Cotton Grow
ers' Cooperative Association, which
has just completed its organization
by signing up 100000 bales of the
Oklahoma cotton crop under a bind
ing contract with growers to deliver
all the cotton they produce to the
association for handling for period
of seven years, and which already
has set about arranging to sell the
1921 crop under the terms of this
contract, which was devised by Aaron
Sapiro, California attorney and CO.,
operative marketing expert.
=. National Sales Agency.
This contract provides that the
Oklahoma State Association will join
with other State associations, simi-I
larly organized, in the formation Of
a national sales agency as soon as
two or more others are complete. Of
the nine other State associations, or
ganized under the Sapiro contract, it
has become practically certain that
at least two, the long staple groups
of Mississippi and Arizona, probably
Texas, with a general group requir-
ing a minimum sign-up of million
bales, and possibly one or two others
will be completed IN time to enter the
market with the 1921 crop, and it is
this situation which has necessitated
the present conference.
The adoption of a detailed plan by
the men here assembled is of course
of an advisory nature for it will have
to be gone over and accepted by the
directorates Of completed member
associations, now only in process of
formation, before it can bind any of
these. It's recommendations however,
are being watched with extreme in
terest by growers involved in the
movement throughout the South, for
they form the first detailed annonce-
ment from leaders Of the Sapiro plan
movement of probable processes of
the great South wide selling unit
which these leaders had in mind from
the beginning. ..

vention Tuesday was presented in

WORK WILL SOLVE
GREAT PROBLEM
COMPTROLLER OF CURRENCY
DELIVERS ADDREss-T0 HELP
OWN PEOPLE.-PURcHASING
POWER WILL BE INCREASED
AND TIDES OF PROSPERITY
RUN STRONG AGAIN.

New. Orleans, April 19.-If means
can be found to keep the American
people working their purchasing
power will be improved, and I'VE will
presently see the tides Of prosperity
running stronger" Comptroller Of the
Currency Cressinger declared in an
address here tonight before the Lou
isiana Bankers association.
"Our own country" Mr.. Cressinger
said, presents to us the market in
which we must always do most of our
business and in which we shall chief
ly depend for establishment Of in
tlustrial prosperity"
Resumption of peace conditions
will come soon, the comptroller as
serted, but European rehabilitation
must be slow and it's reflection in
more favorable business conditions
very gradual. He declared that he
was not one of those who feared any
unfavorable balance Of international
trade nor did he anote with complete
satisfaction the tendency of the
worlds gold to bank itself up on this
side Of the Atlantic" .~
owe must help our own people to
be able to buy their own products"
he said. eve must also help the out
side world to maintain a money sys-
tenn in such relation to gold that .ex-
changes will be possible. Therefore,
as to the domestic problems we must
extend through our financial instru-
mentalities, every encouragement to
the producers. The farmer must be
assled, right now, that in his effort to
buy fertilizers and seed and imple-
ments and labor for the next crop,
he will be given the fullest support,
the broadest credit, that can possibly
be extended through the banks, and
that the federal government and its
banking structure will stand square,
y back of individual banks that
wisely and in moderation extend nee
essary credits for these purposes" 4
Turning to the cotton industry Mr.
Cressinger declared no other Ameri-
can industry so thoroughly deserved
assistance at time Of temporary
distress. Authorities guiding the
broader financial policies Of the coun-
try, he said, are determined to exert
whatever power and influence may
be necessary to bring the industry
back to basis of assured prosperity.
'T do not want to be understood"
he continued, "as suggesting that the
government can be relied upon to do
the things that private enterprises.
thrift and effort must do, but I am
willing that you should under
stand me to mean that every pos
sible support and encouragement con-
slstent with sanity, soundness, based
on the consolidated credit and au-
thority of American business and
American government, will be held
out in this time Of trial and stress"
Efforts on foot to enable foreign
buyers to continue taking American
cotton, Mr.. Cressinger said, would re-
ceive every feasible and safe encour-
agement.
