WITHCROWERS
Assurance is Given by
Commission of All
Possible Aid

WASHINGTON. Oct. 12.-R-
Assurance Of federal cooperation
with the South in handling the rec
ord cotton crop was given to-day by
the Cotton Commission appointed by
President Coolidge.
The problem was described as "real
but not impossible" in a statement
issued by Eugene c. Meyer Jr.. chair
man of the commission, after the
first meeting of the commission
which also included Secretaries Mel
lon, Hoover and Jardine
Mr.. Meyer said conditions were
far better than in 1921. when the

sponsibility Of leadership in handling
the situation must necessarily rest"

ment said, following last years very
large acreage II a difficult but not
impossible problem. Fortunately, the
South is in better position than
II has been for many years to deal
effectively with the situation. and ii
| is gratifying to know that those who
have the greatest interests and re-
sponsibility, namely. the growers
bankers and business men of the
| South, MS well as the public of the
Southern states, are attacking the
problem in a vigorous way.
Larger and better storage facili-
ties are available than when diff
culties in connection with the mar
keting Of cotton last occurred on
an important scale.
There is and will be no lack OF
financial resources in connection
with the orderly marketing Of the
crop. The banking structure of the
South. in the country districts, as
well as in the important centers, il
immeasurably stronger than 1t was
five years ago, and steps Slready
have been taken by the bankers. and
business men to bring about the in
telligent use Of these resources anc
meeting the situation. The federal
government is assisting through the
intermediate credit banks of tbs
farm loan system and through the
federal reserve system, working
through its member banks. The De
partment, Of Agriculture and the De
partmenti OF Commerce are giving
their full cooperation"
