building of the soil, better plant

Clayton said that. besides the
farm legislation of 1929, the three
advances in the tariff, "cuminat-
ing with the Smoot-Hawley tariff
bill Of 1890" had hampcrcd the
ability Of foreign customers to pay
for cotton with their own goods
and services.
This was the situation, threat
ening farmers with foreclosure,
which faced the Roosevelt admin
istration at the outset, he said
leaving two methods Of solution

government payments to farmers
coupled with control Of producing
and marketing.
"The latter course was adopt

government planned production
and govcrnment-planned market
ing can, for instance, force the
world markets to pay the cotton
farmer more for his cotton than
he would otherwise get"
Clayton advised against crlti-

by the New Deal, but strongly
urged constructive action along

In 1858 Printz himself returned

had retaliated by building Fort

COTTON COSTS

By ROY J. FORREST Il

HOUSTON, Tex, June 8. (uP)
The South faces loss Of its doml-
nant market, according to W, L..
Clayton, leading world cotton FAC
tor.
In 10 years, the South's cotton
exports have dropped more than
so per cent. Clayton advocates
three steps to prevent disaster:
l. Defense Of reciprocal trade
agreements.
2. Abandonment of government
cotton control, excepting admin
istration of the soil conservation
act.
8. Production of better staple
at lower cost.
"The cotton industry is very
sick" ne said in an address be-
fore the Foreign Trade Associa-
ton here. cts future in this coun-
try is not very bright.
eve have to supply cotton OF
good quality at competitive prices,
and we have to MAKE IL poSslole
for our foreign customers to pay
US"
CALLS FOR SWEEPING
ACTION
Clayton believes that drastic ac-
ton must be taken by the cotton
producers if the South once more
sells 7,75O,OO0 bales abroad, m
stead of slightly more than s.
100000.
In normal production, cotton
gives employment to more than
twice as many persons as are en-
ployed i'm the growing of wheat
corn, oats and tobacco combined,

expression of opinion on the proposal
At the same time Gilmore D. Clarke,
chairman Of the commission, said the
Fine Arts Commission had never been
officially consulted on the matter,
although he has written several letters
to Chairman Boylan of the Congress
sional Memorial Committee favoring
a double colonnade structure in place
of the Pantheon type approved by Mr..
Boylans committee
While Maj. Clarke made it clear that
the Fine Arts Commission does not
desire any veto power in this or any
other proposal, he thought it inadvis-

organization.
The commission, he pointed out, has
no objection to the site south of the
Tidal Basin, although it did object
previously to placing the memorial in
the basin.
