holders of options on some 2,40O 900
bales of Government cotton an advance
of cents. The interest of the option
holders in this cotton is the difference
between the market price and 6 cents.
To make this option cotton eligible for
the 10-cent loan under terms similar
to those covering the unsold portion
of the 1888 crop means that approx
mately $48,000,000 more will be dis
tributed in the cotton belt.
$50, 100000 Expenditure Necessary.
There is central purpose behind
what may seem, to those who are un-
acquainted with the facts and policies.
lavish distribution Of public funds
AS a matter of fact, If the Govern
ment's cotton program succeeds there
will be no net loss to the Federal Treas
ury because OF the 10-cent-loan plan or
the acrea age-reduction program of 1884
and 1885. An expenditure of $4,000, 600
in the 1888 campaign was necessary
to offer cotton producers the options at
cents a pound.
This expenditure is, to my mind, a
comparatively small investment over
the three-year period beginning with
the current crop year. when one con-
siders the accomplishments that have
already been wrought and the posi-
bilities of the future.
The cotton acquired by the Govern
ment through the old Farm Board is
being hquidated to cooperating pro-
ducers under the option plan The
Farm Administration has taken over
100000 bales of cotton and optioned
it at 6 cents a pound to the pro-
ducers who participated in the 1888
program. By direct congressional ap-
preparation the Government will absorb
the loss, which amounts to around
S50,000,000. But the South's income
has already been enhanced more than
$500 100000 and the benefits from the
1888 program should continue through
the years to come. The processing
taxes finance the production control
program and as general conditions i'm
prove the l0-cent loans can be liqui-
dated without loss.
The cotton producer who obtains the
10-cent loan or the Accent advance on
options must agree to participate in
the acreage reduction program next
year. That Is the chief distinction be-
tween the current efforts to improve
the cotton situation and past attempts
which did not contain any workable
plan to control production. The cotton
farmer is not offered a bounty or a
gift. Definite performance in restrict
ing his production Is a condition upon
which funds are disbursed. either
through the lending policy or the acre
age adjustment programs.
Officials in Washington who have
studied the cotton program and the
involvements of the Federal Govern
ment have In mind a definite. fixed
goal. The goal Is the balanced statisti-

and the co-operatives use the facilities
of the exchange to protect themselves
against price recession.
The future for cotton is brighter, in
my opinion, than at any other time
during the last four years. The attack
upon the surplus that has depressed
prices is moving toward success. Other
economic factors that influence the
price of cotton and the general welfare
of the entire Nation are improving.
But it is vital that we do not permit
the gains that have been made to blind

Hawaii Is Cratifed

HONOLULU, Hawaii dis
patches from Washington containing
a cordial reference to Hawaii by Secre-
tary Swanson following his recent visit
here are regarded as significant of a
friendly attitude on the part of the
Navy Department toward the civilian

Secretary Swanson is quoted as say
ing that he enjoyed his visit thoroughly
and saw no evidence of vice conditions
here. From time to time during the
last two years it was reported that naval
authorities were extremely critical of
the degree of law enforcement by civil
ian authorities in Honolulu.
During the last session of Congress

of the Rankin bill, permitting the ap-
pointment of nonresident as Cover

down in Honolulu" and the chaotic

| 1888, it Is apparent that the world sup
ply of American cotton should be be-
low 100000 bales for the 1934-35
season. That would be 4.70O00O bales
less than the excessive supply of the
current season and less than 1000, ,000
bales in excess of the 10-year average
from 1921 to 1881. Thus the "statisti-

sumption that yields would be a little

can cotton would be equal to or in ex-
cess Of that of the last year)
Undoubtedly price will respond to
these influences. The adjustment pro-
gram for cotton, II the plan meets with
reasonable success, will have contrib

to the cotton South. Six-cent cotton

ing in its wake. The starvation level
Of cotton prices could not have con-
tinued without bringing on the type of
violent social disorders that no one
likes TO contemplate. Cotton farmers
turned to the Government for aid and
a sympathetic administration went
quickly into action to apply the prin-
ciples laid down by Congress in the
agricultural adjustment act The first
10 81 la
ment act Is to increase farm purchaS-
ing power. This mandate was carried
out as promptly as administrative ma
chinery could do it. approximately
sl10 600 900 in acreage rentals already
has been distributed throughout the
cotton belt.
When the 1888 adjustment program
was completed producers were still re-
ceiving an inadequate price for their
crop. The 10-cent-loan plan was de-
vised by the Government so that the
cotton producer would not have to
sacrifice his 1888 crop at prevailing
low price levels. Thousands Of cotton
planters have taken advantage Of the
opportunity to hold their crop of the
market at 10 cents. Unless the price
Is below the Decent level next July, It
will never be known lust how much
cotton has been held of the market
under this plan. Banks, factories, ware
housemen and others engaged in han
ding cotton have made these loans with
the assurance that the Commodity Credit
Corporation, a Government agency, will

crued interest a per cent? at any time
