Cotton-Si|ver Plan
Showdown Forecast
|nNextCongress, In
Pittmon Urges Mild
Currency InfIotion
Based on Surplus
Ry the Axsociated Press.

ny INC AAAOClateu FteSSs
Senator Pittman, Democrat, of
Nevada predicted yesterday that
there would he a showdown in the
Senate next session on his proposal
to give cotton farmers almost l3
cents a pound for their surplus crop
by trading it for silver on the world
market.
An administration supporter and
chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, Senator Pitt
man said his proposal would be a
form of controlled imitation"
Definite assurances have been re-
ceived from some cotton States Sem
ators that they would support the
idea. the Nevadan added in an in
terview. Cotton now is bringing
about 8la cents pound.)
Senator Pittman said he felt sure
OF backing from the dozen or more
Senator's who formed the silver
bloc" several years ago and helped
pass legislation giving the President
power to devalue the dollar.
With support Of both of these ele-
ments, the Senator continued, he
thought there was q good chance
the Senate might adopt his pro-
posal.
10 Pounds for an Ounce.
AS he explained the policy, 10
pounds OF surplus cotton would be
sold to foreign buyers for an ounce
OF silver, now worth about 43 cents
on the world market.
The Treasury. under the present
law, could issue $l.29 in currency
against this ounce of silver, and it
would pay the cotton grower that
amount for the portion of the crop
sold abroad under this arrange
ment.
Inc Treasury now issues currency
only IN the amount it has paid for
the silver.
Senator Pittman estimated his
proposal would require the issuance
OF approximately 5000 600. 900 in
new currency. He insisted, how
ever, that this would be only a form
OF controlled imitation because
this amount would represent only
a small increase over approximately
5000 900 900 of currency now In
circulation.
Sees World Trade Boost.
He said he thought that If his
cotton surplus sale idea we're put
into effect, it would bring a revival
OF world trade because other coun-
tries would be forced to raise the
price of silver to meet this Nations
competition. That would increase
the purchasing power of silver
holding countries such as India.
and Immediately spur all trade, he
contended.
Senator Pittman said his proposal
had been criticized on the ground
1t would bring most of the worlds
silver to the United States.
This Is based on the theory that
silver would only have a high pur-
chasing power for United States
exports" he said. THE theory is
unreasonable.
If such condition existed, the
United States would have q mo-
nopoly on exports until the other
countries raised their price of sill
yer to ours. When that time came,
world trade would be 50 stimulated
that there would be general prosper
ity,"

reelection of Mannering and Bell
seems a forgone conclusion. How

there is no telling that they will
not have some opposing candi-

there is to be elected a Town
