METCALF HITS
COTTON POLICY
Says Millions of People
Facing Disaster Under
Present Set-Up

WASHINGTON, Apr. 16. (UP)
Senator Jesse H. Metcalf, Repn.,
R. l., last night declared that mil
lions of people who depend on
cotton for living are facing dis
astcr unless Secretary of Agricul-
ture Henry Wallace revises his
cotton poTcies.
Demanding immediate suspen-
sion of the cotton processing tax,
Metcalf demanded that Wallace
scrap present policies toward the
southern staple or surrender his
portfolio to a man Of more prac-
tical and far-sighted policies"
an these critical days." he said,
"the nation might be benefited
by having a southerner familiar
with the cotton business in con-
troll of our cotton program"
Metcalf challenged statements
by President Roosevelt that I'M
portation of cotton goods are in
consequential and comprise less
than one per cent of domestic
production. =,
"This is not a fact" he SAID.
During February, importatlons
were from 2 per cent to 3.S9 per
cent of domestic production in the
three principal cloth classltica-
tions, and certain types of cloth
imported have been estimated to
represent 80 per cent of the do
nestle production with which they
compete"
In addition to the processing
taxes, Metcalf said the high price
of raw cotton in relation to the
world market resulting from the
cotton loan policy, increased cost
of labor and the innumeraole
miscellaneous taxes are running
the industry"

Britain was reported ready

 As the plan is being put into ,ef- feet in other sections of Connec- ticut overnight stopping places have been made available for boys and girls travelling about the coun- try at a nominal cost, usually not more than 25 cents a night.

 While no definite information has been received by local Parent Teacher, groups, Mrs Elmer E.. Wilson, president of the Water bury Council expressed interest in the movement today.
