COTTON PROGRAM URGED
Fixed Plan for Product Advocated
by Economist.

d. 4 tUto CpcCtus
NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Pointing
out that the nation is becoming
disturbingly aware that our WELL
meant efforts to correct the statis-
teal position of cotton by reducing
the size of our own crop has served
merely to stimulate foreign produc-
ton on a scale hitherto unknown"
c. T. Revere, economist for Munds,
Winslow e. Potter, members of the
New York Stock and Cotton Ex-
changes, states that "the time has
come to adopt a fixed program for
dealing with our cotton problem"
I'm considering our cotton policy"
Mr.. Revere says, ut is time for us
to ask ourselves if we have not been
guilty Of what Lenin singled out as
the fatal shortcoming of capitalism
the willingness to dig its own
grave for the sake of an immediate
profit"

SMALL TRADES,
SOUND,FAIL TO
Get BANK help
Credit Difficulty Is Felt by
44.8 Per Cent of Con-
Germs Surveyed.
By Times Special

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Small
manufacturers throughout the coun-
try have exerienced difficulty in re-
ceiving bank loans despite the fact
that a great many OF them were
financially sound and normally
would be regarded as most accept
able credit risks. according to a sur
vey issued today by the Bureau of
the Census, Department of Com
merce.
OF the 1887 concerns with borrow
ing relationships, 44S per cent re-
ported difficulty, /. e., they were I'M
able to secure any credit or their
credit lines were unduly and danger
ously restricted. Projecting this per-
Icentage to embrace all manufacture
ers employing less than $50 wage
earnerS each, it is estimated that at
least $4,000 are restricted in their
operations by unusual credit Strin-
eency.
In nine of the Federal Reserve
districts the percentage of borrowing
manufacturers experiencing credit
difficulty was over 40 and in no dis
trict did this figure fall below 80
per cent. Nor was this situation
confined to few industries. On
the contrary, practically every phase
of American industrial life was af-
fected by the restrictive influence of
our financial structure.
Needs at S1O,912,O0O
OF the 1854 manufacturers re-
porting credit difficulty, 1888 esti-
mated they would need during the
present year $10,915,00 to meet ma
turing obligations, 1T estimated
that they will require $l4,779,000
during 1888 for the same purpose.
Projection of these estimates to
include all manufacturers of SINH
lar size and position in the United
States indicates over 100000, 900
will be required the five-year period
from 1884 through 1888 by manu-
facturers employing from 81 to $50
wage earners to meet maturing OBJ
legations already contracted at the
close Of 1888 and those expected to
be incurred under normal oper-
atoms.
Surprising as it may SEEM" the
study points out, "a great many OF
the manufacturers who could secure
but limited funds or none at all were
financially sound and normally
would be regarded as most accepta-
BILE credit risks.
RatiOns Are Good
"Of the 1864 firms reporting cred
it difficulty no less than $50, or 22.9
per cent, had current rations of 3
and over and 818, or Alt per cent.
had current ratios of or more. Fur
thermore, 644. or 1922 per cent, OF
these firms enjoyed net worth to
debt rations of 3 or more and 49.5
per cent of the establishments had
such ratios of 2 or better.
"Obviouosly, there is no panacea
for the present ills. Progressive ac-
ton must be taken on wide front
to meet and overcome the obstacles
faced by industry"
In conclusion the report, prepared
for the small industries committee
of the Business Advisory and Plan
ming Council, lays down recon-
mendations for federal bank exam
liners, Federal Reserve Banks, the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
and urges changes in the securities
act and the banking system.
