Lynn Talley and the Cotton Problem

Lynn P. Talley is,a former governor of the federal
reserve bank of Dallas and now is chairman of the Bank
Of America National Trust and Savings association Of
San Francisco. Expressing his views to a staff writer of
the New York Times concerning the cotton industry,
Talley said that the planters of the South, and particu-
larry Texas, had been affected rather less drasticaly
than many outsiders believed. He said that this was due
not only 10 the fact that the planters are producing cot
ton at low cost but also because they have borrowed less
money in 1881 than at any time since 1915 and as a re-
suit the burden of financing has been less honorous. Re
ferring to the foreign trade situation, he said, I'VE

A Republican Senator on the War Path

Sen. Hiram Bingham, republican Of Connecticut, is
on the war path. He is one of the scholars of the senate,
a famous flyer and is for preparedness at all times. He is
for revolutionary changes in the 18th amendment as well
as the Volstead act. In a recent address he declared the
United States had too much government and that the
federal government should desist from taking on new
burdens. Sen. Bingham is an ultra champion of states
rights. This is the warning he handed to his fellow coun-
trymen, zone by one our liberties are being taken away
