RANKIN HITS LAST
COTTON CROP REPORT
Says Yesterdays Estimate Is An.
other Example of Bureaucratic
Responsibility
BY the Associated Press.


TUPELO. Miss. September s.-The
cotton crop estimate given out TODAY
by the Government crop REPORTING
beard rs anotf-r demonstration of
bureaucratic responsibility" Repre-
sentative John f. Rankin of the first
Mississippi district said here tonight.
Mr.. Rankin WIS member of the
Senate cotton investigating committee
in the last Congress.
The report given out a month ago
stated the condition to be $40. and
estimated the yield to be 14.291 900
bales" Mr.. Rankin said. "The one
given out today gave the condition as
only 60.3 per cent of about 10 per cent
of what 1t was a month ago. and vet
estimates crop at 14.A39 900 bales. an
increase of $4,000 bales.
Not only that, but today's report
shows an acreage abandonment of 1886
per cent. Yet in the face of
the fact that there has been a very
drastic deterioration in the cotton crop
for the last 30 days, the
board raises the estimate.
They will attempt to defend them
selves by hiding behind their camouf1age
of pars,' which they use as storm cell
lars in emergencies of this kind =.
The average age for air pilots is 81,
although license was recentely issued

The communities in Florida which
were visited by the August tropical
storm look forward to the best Winter
season ever.

main. and the residents who are COM

given by excited citizens and greatly
exceeded It's actual destruction and
monetary loss.

the worst of the blow. present a nor
NAL picture today the storm having
been credited by many inhabitants with
having stimulated business. Local es,i-
mates say that few substantial build
ings were seriously damaged, and credit
most OF the loss to citrus fruits. DAM
aged highways have been put IN order.
Older inhabitants of the east coast
say they cannot recall that any devastat-
ing storms or floods ever have afflicted
the costal or interior sections of the 200
mile stretch of the shoreline lying be-
tween Fernandina and Jacksonville on
the north to Melbourne and vicinity in
the south
These residents blame losses to COM
munities farther south. chiefly on faulty
construction during the boom DAYS
They point to the many aged and well
established resort hotels and other
buildings in that area which have never
suffered any serious damage.

FOREIGN RELATIONS
PLEASE COOLIDGE.
Nearing End of Administra-
ton, He Expresses Opinion
on international Affairs.

AS the end of President Coolidge's
administration is approaching he is
happy in the thought that all contro-
versial subjects and other matters of
dispute with foreign countries have been
composed and are on the way to settle
ment. While expressing himself to this
effect yesterday while discussing the
subject with friends, the President gave
credit to the course this country has
| followed in meeting the troubled Situa-
tions, especially in Nicaragua, Mexico
and China. Subsequent events have
shown that this Government has fol-
lowed the right course. The President
was represented as saying in explana-
ton.
Protects Nationals.
The President emphasized the fact
that the United States in dealing with
the troubles in Nicaragua, Mexico and
China has had only one policy-that of
| protecting American lives and property
abroad; that the United States attitude
in the countries involved has been one
of peace, good will and Cancellation.
The President believes that while the
interests of this Government have suf-
|
culties in those countries, because of
Misunderstanding the results now
show the administration was right from
| the start.
| The successful elections in Nicaragua
| two days ago are looked upon by the
| President as being highly important
and he regrets that all that has hap
pencd has been obscured to such an
extent by the interest of the people of
| the United States in their own elections.
| According to Mr. Coolidge, the outcome
of the Nicaraguan election is entirely
agreeable to the United States Govern
ment. He is satisfied now that as
matters have turned out the presence
of Marines in that republic has been
indicated. He did not favor at first
having Marines in Nicaragua, but he
recalled that as soon as he had the
Marine force recalled a revolution
broke out within 80 days. Finally
American citizens and their property
were in danger and it was then that
the Marines were sent back. They
found warfare going on, the President
recounted, and he then sent Henry L.
Stimson, now Governor General of the
Philippines, to Nicaragua to see what
this nation could do in the way of
service.
Plan Carried Out.
The President pointed out that the
plan worked out by MIR. Stimson served
as the policy of this Government and it
had been faithfully carried out.
Mr.. Coolidge recalled that the policy
OF the United States toward Mexico and
China has been similar to that in
Nicaragua, and for that reason the
strides toward composing differences in
those countries have been marked. He
thinks the success in China and Mexico
has been admirable. The situation in
China has improved to such an extent
that this Government is rapidly with
drawing its Marines and already is con-
siderlng raising the legation in China
to an embassy.
