o-operatives Urged
As Economic Cure
In Conference Talk

America must build a cooperative
economy, inasmuch as our present
producer-competitive system not
only has failed to solve but increas-
lngly intensifies our economic prob
lems," E. R. Bowen, general secre-
tary of the Cooperative League OF
the United States, said today at the
opening session Of q two-day con-
ference at the Washington Hotel.
Mr.. Bowen shared speaking honors
with Joseph Knapp, principal agri-
cultural economist of the Farm
Credit Administration. Co-opera-
tives. Mr. Knapp emphasized are
practical examples of free economic
organization which can be usefully
employed to meet common needs.
A discussion on the scope of CO.
operatives in Europe and Asia. in
which various representatives from
abroad are scheduled to participate,
was arranged for the afternoon ses-
sion.
America no longer hesitstes to dis
card obsolete production machines,
but clings to outmoded distribution
methods, Mr.. Bowen said. as he
warned that turning to political gov
ernment will not produce economic
security.
Declaring our producer -competi-
tive economic system broke down in
the 30s, Mr.. Bowen said, I'VE have
only relieved our unemployment
problems by increasing others
through expansion of debt
Mr.. Knapp said the combined
business volume of l0,45O marketing
and purchasing associations for the
last marketing season amounted to
s3,780, 100000.
At tomorrow's morning session
there will be discussion of the pos
sibilities for co-operatives in inter-
national relief and rehabilita ton
and in international trade and
manufacturing.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 19-Jimmie
H. Davis. public service commits
sioner and song writer, slowly whit
tied down the lead of Lewis L.
Morgan for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation in yesterdays Democratic
primary as additional returns came
in today from country parishes
(ceanties).
Mr.. Morgan, backed by the power
full New Orleans "Old Regular" Long
organization, jumped into the lead
late last night when the city vote
was counted. Returns from outlying
parishes were slow, since commits
sioners counted local races first.
Unofficial returns from 500 of the
States 1867 precincts gave Mr.. Nor
gan 65,074; Mr.. Davis. 60,207; Rep
resentative James H. Morrison,
1925; Mayor Sam Caldwell of
Shreveport. l0,929; State Senator

Long Holds Decisive Lead.
Earl K. Long, brother Of the late
Huey P. Long and running mate Of
Mr.. Morgan, swept into a decisive
lead over five opponents.
The vote in SOL OF 1857 precincts
in the lieutenant governors race
gave Mr.. Long 1890: J. Emile Ver-
ret, 37,777; Frank B. Ellis, 27,453:
GLADDEN. Harrison, 1855, Sam Ten
nant. 1888, and Carl T. Jeansonne,
l,575.
Mr.. Long appeared to be running
ahead Of Lewis L. Morgan. the gu
bernatorial candidate on the old
Regular Long ticket. and on the
face OF partial returns seemed cer-
tain to be in the runoff-if there
should be a runoff primary.
Much depended on the outlying
vote. The New Orleans vote, regis
tered by voting machines. was prac-
tically complete in the tabulations
soon after midnight. but most OF
the country vote was still out.
Other Long Men Lead.
On the basis OF fragmentary re-
turns for State wide ofices other
than Governor and Lieutenant Gov
ernor. the Long faction also showed
strength in the race for attorney
general, where Joe T. Cawthorn led
on early country returns as well as
in New Orleans.
The New Orleans vote gave leads
to Wade O.. Martin jr. for secretary
OF state over incumbent L. B. Bay
