McKoin Not to Return
To Johns Hopkins on
Request Of Faculty

BALTIMORE. Md, Feb. q. -
Rather than bring undue publicity
upon the Johns Hopkins Medical
school, DR.. E. M. McKoin, former
mayor of Mer Rouge La, has decided
against re-entering the institution
to continue his postgraduate course.
He made known his decision after
a conference with DR.. J. Whitridge
Williams, dean of the school, and
several other faculty members.
DR.. McKoin was released by the
Louisiana authorities in 900 bail
pending completion of the inves-
tigation into the Morehouse parish
murders and kidnapings of last
August. He returned to this city
several days ago after voluntarily
accompanying Louisiana officials to
that state to face a murder. charge
placed against him here which lat
ef was dismissed.
DR.. Williams stated that as DR..
McKoin was a student at the school
last fall he had every right to re-
turn if he wanted to. DR.. Will
liams, however. told DR.. McKoin
the school has been criticized for
having him there, and if he could
release us from our obligation we
would he pleased"

SAME DEBT TERMS
FOR OTHER NATIONS,
BURTON DECLARES

WASHINGTON, Feb s. - The
American debt commission does not
desire to make more favorable terms
with the debtor nations than are
embodied in the settlement agree
ment reached with the British gov
eminent, the house ways and means
committee was told today by Rep
resentative Burton. Republican,
Ohio, a member of the commission.
"That would not be fair to Great
Britain" Mr.. Burton said. "That
is the country that has come for
ward and helped us with a settle
ment. 1t has, as it were, put a spur
behind the other debtor nations"
Mr.. Burton appeared before the
committee in behalf of his amend
ment to the existing debt-funding
law. which not only would authorize
consummation of the agreement
with Great Britain, but would en-
able the commission to make settle
mentss with other nations on similar
terms and subject only to the APP
prevail of the president. There was
objection by committee members to
the expression similar in terms"
the argument being advanced that
this left the door wide open.
The debt commissioner argued
that if congress insisted that the
commission report back to it for APP
prevail of any future agreements it
would be unable to make any such
agreements before next December,
as it is not contemplated that the
new congress VIII. be called in extra
session.
81 think I: can speak for the COM
mission when I say that we would
just as soon refer any future agree
ments to congress-" Mr.. Burton
said. "but I do not think that ar
rangement would permit us to func-
ton in the most effective manner"

SHOULD COTTON FARMERS BE CONTENT WITH
SELLING SYSTEM THAT HAS COST BILLIONS?
Examination of Price Fluctuations Two Decades Shows Producers Have va-
aby Broken Market Each Year Dumping Crop Harvest Time and That Prices
Have Risen Hundreds Points After Staple Has Gone Into Hands of Buyers

when the farmer is selling will be lower than
the average for the twelve months.
What has happened?
The farmers, driven by need and by the lack
of any other plan, have sold all their cotton at
low prices. One-fourth of this cotton has gone
Immediately into the hands of consumers who
need to keep three months supply on hand.
What has become of the rest, three three
fourths of the crop, which the consumers here
and in Europe have immediate need for?
It has been bought by cotton buyers and
cotton merchants.
Why have these buyers and merchants bought
that cotton?
To make a profit out of the transaction.
How do they make profit out of the trans
action?
BY buying low and selling high
Is it profitable business when properly
conducted?
It is; those firms which stick to the policy of
buying when the farmers are forced to sell and
which sell steadily and gradually during the
rest of the season make immense fortunes.
Now, it ought to be said right here that the
cooperative movement is no indictment of the
cotton merchants. If there we're cotton
merchants to buy the cotton which mills will
not need for months; store, gather into uniform
lots, and find customers for, every grower in
America would have to stop planting. The harA
vest would not bring the cost of sowing the
seed.
But if the cotton farmers can organize eff,
GENTLY to sell their own cotton and to put into
their own pockets the profits the cotton mer-
chants have been making, they have bettered
their own condition, and the cotton merchants
have no right to indict them for that
That is what the farmers who produced this
season more than one million bales of cot
ton have done
That is what the cooperative plan is.
1t is working well.
AS was said above, it is common sense to rea-
son without reference to the figures that the
annual glut of cotton will break the price in
the fall months. .+G
But reference to the figures reveals fact that
will prove astounding, almost unbelievable
Let us examine the record of cotton prices
for the past twenty years, year by year, and see
how the cotton farmer has lost billions of dol
lars. We will take the high price for New
York middling in the month of September, con-

TROOP WI THDRAWAL

HARDW|CK'S SPEECH

SAVANNAH, Ca, Feb. S.-"Ev-
cry thoughtful and informed Amer
lean citizen ought to approve ana
commend the policy of President
Harding in bringing our soldiers
home from Germany under the con-
ditions that are now existing there"
declared Governor Thomas w.
Hardwick, of Georgia, in a speech
here last night at banquet given
in honor of the officers of the re-
turned Rhineland troops.
After lauding President Harding,
the governor said:
at is especially gratifying, too,
that this step, although somewhat
delayed, should have been taken, as
it was doubtless accelerated by it,
at the present critical status of at
fairs in the Ruhr.
"That the situation in continental
Europe said Governor Hardwick
lis grave beyond the power CT
words to express it, cannot be doubt
ed. All Europe seems to be seeth-
ing with unrest again. and the So
called League Of Nations seems
both powerless and impotent to pre-
vent it,
None of Cur QuarrelS
The governor declared that while
the friendly offices of this country
should be freely extended to all
nations, in an effort to avert war
and promote peace and good will
everywhere, yet, if it be impossible
to accomplish that result by such
friendly offices, then l unhesitat-
ingly declare that these quarrels
are none of our quarrels, and that
L would not be willing-I do not
believe the American people would
be Willing-to devote to the pros
ecution of any one of them a sin
gle drop of American blood or a

BY EDWIN CAMP

A was told in these columns, the other day,
~ prominent merchant and cotton buyer
in a North Georgia town has published
pamphlet attacking the Georgia Cotton Grow
ers' Cooperative association and the co-opera-
tive marketing of cotton under the Sapiro plan.
The gist of what this gentleman says against
the cooperative plan in this, using his own
words:
do you farmers need the Georgia Cotton
Growers Cooperative association? The
thing for to do is to grow all the cotton
we can and produce it cheaply as we can
and then handle it ourselves as we feel would
be to our interest,"" ct is he who empha-
sizes his words by black type).
In short, he says the farmers ought to con-
tinue to sell as they have sold in the past.
Now, if he is right about that, it will be read
lily admitted there is need for the Georgia
Cotton Growers Cooperative association, nor
any other association. If he is correct in say
ing that the farmers ought to grow all the cot
ton they can and sell as they have been selling,
then they are doing we'll can, be done and
are all prosperous and happy and there is
possibility of any improvement.
That is not true, of course.
Nor can the blame be put on the boil weevil.
To every million dollars that the boil
weevil has cost the farmers of the SOUTH the
old selling system (lack of selling system, to
speak accurately has cast them one hundred
millions.
