The only possible pathway to inter
national agreement with reference to
these complicated and difficult fac
tors is through mutual counsel and
cooperation which the plan selected
contemplates. 1t is therefore the
unanimous opinion of the Jury that
of the 22.165 plans submitted, Plan
Number 1869 is "the best practicable
plan by which the United States may
cooperate with other nations to
achieve and preserve the peace of the
world"
It Ss the unanimous hope of the Jury
that the first fruit of the mutual coun-
sci and cooperation among the nations
which will result from the adoption OF
the plan selected will be a general
prohibition of the manufacture and
sale of all materials of war.

Plan To Finance
Cotton Plante 70

"One of our ambitions has
been nearly realized" remarked
Mr.. J. c. Jones, Field Representa-
tive of the N. C. Cotton
Growers Association, a few days
ago. "Since the association
was first organized we have re-
cognized the absolute necessity
of our members making their
crops on a cash basis. but as we
are a selling organization and
not a credit one we could not
remedy the situation. However,
on the last day of the last con-
gress there was enacted a law
known as the intermediate
Credits Act which makes it
possible for our members to get
on a cash basis
This Intermediate Credits
Act, so called because it sup
plies money for a longer period
than the ordinary commercial
paper which runs for sixty to
ninety days and for a shorter
period than the loans made by
the Federal Land Banks, pro-
vides for twelve Intermediate
Credits Banks in the twelve
cities in which the Federal
Land Banks are located. This
money is made available to the
state through the organization
of Agricultural Credit Corpora
tions and to the local communi-
ties through the local banks or
credit societies"
"Mr. A. e. Bing, Secy-Treas.
of the N. c. Cotton Growers
Association, with the aid of in
terested bankers has organized
the N. C. Agricultural Credits
Corporation which makes
the money available to
the farmers of North
Carolina where they are men,
bers of the Cotton or Tobacco
Growers Associations. To make
the money available to the local
communities stock in the Credit
Corporation must be subscribed
by the local banks or the far
mers themselves. For every one
thousand dollars worth of stock
bought the Credit Corporation
will make loans in that conmu-
nifty of ten times that amount" "
Already many thousands of
dollars worth of stock has been
bought by local banks and others
who have money to invest and l
believe within the next thirty
days there will be available in
each cotton growing county one
hundred thousand dollars or
more for financing our members
while growing their crops"
