To Future 1yrants

Battlefield demonstrations of the
great military power OF the United
States should be warning to pros
pective tyrants of the years to
come, Gen. George c. Marshall,
Army Chief of Staff, points out in
an article prepared for the forth
coming United States at War" is

THE third year OF the war for
the United States has been notable
for the final development overseas
of the Army forces on the ground,
in the air and for supply" Gen.
Marshall said. "One of the most
significant factors in our successes
on the European fields of battle has
been the ability of the Army Serv-
ice Forces at home and abroad to
supply the huge forces involved, I'M
der most complicated conditions and
during extremely rapid movements

Farm Leaders Open
Meeting 10 Discuss
Future Of Cotton
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Nations farm leaders gath
cred today in broad effort to solve
what some of them termed their
biggest headache-the future of cot
ton.
Called together by the House Sub
committee on Postwar Agriculture
Planning, they hope in a week-long
conference to work out formula for
an industry described as divided
and disorganized on the verge
of destruction"
This description was offered by
Chairman Pace, who added:
Americas No. farm problem is
to work out a future policy for cot
ton. Unless 1t can be solved, the
agricultural economy of the entire
Nation is imperiled.
I'VE hope to achieve an overall
plan for cotton at this session. Then
we will tackle other commodities
such as wool and grains, at similar
conferences"
Fact-Findins Hearing.
Mr.. Pace reported the meeting
would be conducted as "a fact
finding hearing" with farm officials,
Government leaders and members
of Congress all asked to testify.
Every phase of the cotton industry
is represented, from the growers to
the railroads and bankers.
Other nations are interested. too.
Several of them have obtained
State Department approval to have
observers in attendance.
Mr.. Pace said the first witnesses
would include such figures as War
Food Administrator Jones, Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Wickard and
Oscar johnson, National Cotton
Council president.
Some of the problems listed in
clude:
l. An expected postwar surplus of
u 900 900 bales of American cotton
2. Competition of synthetics such
as rayon.
3. Possibility of an international
cotton agreement to divide up mar
keting and production.
4. How can cotton growers receive
fair United States prices and still
meet foreign competition in world
markets?
S. Production needs, including the
crop-control program.
Cotton Has No Future.
Some agriculture leaders believe
cotton has no future-at least no

future that can compare with its
past when 1t literally ruled the fiber
world. Competition from foreign
cotton and from synthetic flbers
produced at home is threatening to
shove the king from his throne.
In addition to the postwar sur
plus, the price factor is complicating
the situation. Basically, American
cotton is priced too high to compete
effectively with many of the do
nestle synthetics for the home mar
ket and too high to compete with
Brazilian and other foreign cotton
in markets of the world.
Cotton prices are being held at
such levels by Government price
policies designed to protect cotton
growers income. These policies have
been established at the insistence
of large segment of the cotton in
dustry, particularly growers.
