 Just before leaving New York, he said, T had conversations with mum bers of cotton mill owners who were thinking of coming south and they expressed themselves as unfavorably impressed with Alabama's action in repeating the 10-year exemption law. As a matter of fact, l know of one mill owner who had decided to locate a mill in Alabama but revoked that decision when the legislature re- pealed the law, and will go to another southern state"

It seems to me that the League of Ma tions has been forced on us whether we want it or not as the means of our necessary participation in the work of rehabilitation"
