A supplementary resolution, intro
duced by Representative r. N. Brown
Of Swainsboro, made clear that the
meeting was not taking stand either
for or against d protective tariff policy
in principle, but was merely asking "for
consideration of the rights of the South
under the protective tariff policy now
existing"
Adopted without Dissent.
Both resolutions were adopted with
out dissent. The first resolution en-
powered Commissioner Talmadge to
head q committee Of five to appear be-

Harry D. Wilson, commissioner of
agriculture of Louisiana, urged Southern
agricultural commissioners and FARM
ers to do everything possible toward
getting their Senators and Representa-
tives in Washington to cooperate In
the movement.
A tariff on jute alone, Mr.. Wilson
said, would mean increasing consump-
ton of cotton in the United States by
about 100000 bales. He stressed
what he termed the seriousness of CO.
