York cotton market and support the
price in view of an embargo decara-
tion would require untold sums of
money.
Whereupon Harding advised them to
stay out of New York. He advised that
they make public the embargo declara-
ton Oh Saturday afternoon after the
market closed, and then, on Monday
morning, buy enough cotton in the
Liverpool market TO advance the price
2 small fraction, just before the New
York market opened.
This, he pointed out would disturb
the New York traders. They would not
know what TO make of an advance in
the face of the embargo declaration,
and they would wait. eManwhile, he,
urged, they should have traders in the
narrow New Orleans market buy cot
advance equal to that achieved in Liv-
crpooi.
"Whon the New York brokers see
that Harding told the Birtishers,
they won't know what to make of it,
and they would wait. Meanwhile, he
leans people ought to know more about
cotton than they do"
Harding's plan was followed bv the
British to the last detail. 1t succeeded
beyond the widest hopes of any one
concerned, and the tbta! outlay by the
financially pressed British government
was v, soo only in the neighborhood of
Shortly thereafter big German inter
ests approached Harding. They then
believed that the war would end very
shortly, and as they knew the British
had bought some cotton and believed
that the declaration of peace would
shoot the price up, they feared their
own mills would have to paw much
higher prices for cotton than the Brit
ish already had paid, and therefore
could not meet the British mills in
world competition.
On Hardings advice the Germans
bought tremendous quantities Of cot
ton, storing it in various places
throughout the South. This big buy
ing movement by the Germans started
cotton finally on the upgrade, and it
never went down in price at any stage
of the war after that. Both the Brit
lsh and Germans realized hands somelv
on their investments as result, but
the cotton growers were saved, and the
antl-British propaganda in the South
was choked

At the same time the pr;ce Of cotton
had fallen to around six cents, the
buy bale of-c cotton movement had
been spread even in the North, and
President Wilson himself had bought
a bale and put it in the White House
basement. The object Of the movement
was to save the cotton growers from
bankruptcy.
Failing in determined fight, in
which Tom Hefin made many speeches,
he being at the time in the House, to
have the Federal government buy cot
ton at 10 cents pound, many Of the
Southern politicians led a fight against
the British "blacklist" and were APP
parently succeeding in turning the
South, which from the outset had been
ole-heartedly pro-Ally, against The
Allied cause.
1t was about this time that Senator
Lodge, answering Senator Hoke Smith,
Of Georgia, who had just made bitter
denunciation of the British blacklist,
retorted, apropos of the Lusitania.
"a dead baby floating on the water
is q more poignan tFsight to me than an
unsold bale OF. cotton" f4

decided it had no choice but to declare
an embargo on cotton The British
statesmen realized fully the possible
Political consequences in America, and
appealed through the embassy here
to W.sP. g. Harding, then member
but not governor of the board. They
selected him because he was from a
cotton growing state.
Harding told them, in brief, that
there would be no political conse-
quences of the action if in soma way
the price of cotton could be held up.
