OTTON for silver-a great deal
Of cotton for a great deal of
silver-is the cure advanced
by Senator Key Pittman Of
Nevada for the present plight of the
cotton farmers Of the United States.
And incidentally for the United States
Evening star., 1938-09-29

however, he takes the Wallace cotton
control program for ride, insisting
that it has proved complete failure.
Judging from the complaints which
have come from cotton farmers in
Texas, South Carolina and Georgia,
there must be something in what he
says.
The way out OF the morass, Senator
Pittman says, is to find foreign prod
ucts Of sufficient volume and value
that we could profitably use In our
country without material injury to
our own industry. Cotton could be
exchanged for such products and the
use Of American cotton abroad be
vastly increased.
II know Of only one such Noreign)
product" Senator Pittman insists.
That is silver" And he points out
that cotton goods are used on a large
scale in the very countries where
silver Is available, China and India.
America, the Senator says, would
benefit by having a considerable in
crease in silver backed currency. That
has been the view Of many Western
ers-where silver is mined.
Purchase Act Is Prop.
The Pittman plan is simple enough.
The President is authorized and
directed by the Silver Purchase Act
to purchase silver until one-fourth of
our total gold and silver reserves are
in silver. AS Of June 80 last there
had been purchased by the Treasury
under the Silver Purchase Act, total
of 1,353,053,OOO ounces OF silver at
prices ranging from AZ to As cents
an ounce. Senator Pittman says that
the President is required to purchase
at least 956, 1900, 900 ounces additional
The Senator proposes that the Gov
ernment shall trade 10 pounds of
cotton for ! ounce of silver. 1t could
trade-and export-l3, ,4OO, 900 bales OF
6,700 100000 pounds of cotton for
670,0O0,000 ounces of silver if this
plan were followed. When that had
been accomplished, the cotton situa-
ton would have been relieved, he says.
The 670,0O0,o00 ounces of silver would
become the basis of 1854. 800, 900 in
currency-which could be handed over
to the cotton farmers or holders OF
the cotton which was exported.
The situation of the cotton pro-
ducers and Of the Government in re-
lation to cotton, as described by Sena.
tor Pittman, is not pretty one He
comments that "our sincere" Secretary
Wallace, head of the Department Of
Agriculture, has failed abysmally
paying farmers to reduce acreage anc
lending Government money on un.
marketable surpluses above the ex.
port price. On August l there wa.
carry-over Of l3,400 1000 bales of cot.
ton, 100000 of which are under
Government loans. This means vir.
tually full years supply on hanc
with the prospects of $4,000 O0O-b bale
crop this year despite the reduction
IN acreage from the normal 10000 00(
acres to 100000 acres. The Gov.
ernment already has sustained huge
losses on this cotton.
Sees Foreign Market as Hope.
DO not these figures prove the
hopelessness Of the present program?'
Senator Pittman asks. THE Gov.
ernment cannot continue forever such
an extravagant and futile policy
The only way out, he adds. is for the
Government to find foreign market
for the cotton-and trade for silver i
the answer.
