sell jt unless he wants to. These two:
•facts .are "being morV pointedly dis
cussed at this time than ever before j
in connection with the renewed Re- i
publican' agitation for cotton price 1
fixing. Senator Hoke Smith of Geo'r- s
gia laid particular stress on the see- I
, ond point in his necent speech in the 1
Senate completely exploding the Re
publican assertion that the south was
being shown favoritism'ln the matter I
. of cotton., Senator Smith showed i
that while the government has au- i
thority to take over all the cotton for
' ■ its own use that the demands of the
i war necessitate, there is no authority
[• either in the War Industries Board or
in the Congress tself to compel one
' citizen to sell his cotton to an'other
i citizen at a price fixed by the govern-
Iment. Senator Smith showed that
• the cost of producing cotton is a
J great deal higher than it ever was be-
Iforc, ranging from 30 to 35 cents in
1 Georgia. He showed that the cost of
producing wheat on which the gov
ernment fixed a very high price to
stimulate production has not increas
ed in anything line the ratio of in
crease in cotton production. He
* showed that while the Republicans
have been loudly clamoring for a
price on raw cotton they have care
fully refrained from saying about a
M price on cotton manufactured prod-
r ucts.

X _thejt are the men who know the sheer luxury of a cup
of hot soup, a piece of bread, a stove to sit by, and a word of cheer.
Think of a nation where every able-bodied man of less than
fifty has been under arms for four long years and more. Think
or a nation which has suffered as has France. Then you will
know what the huts are meaning to the French, and what the
huts are meaning to our fighters over there.
It was requested by the Government of France, officially,
that American maintenance of morale be extended to the armies
of the French. Cheerfully it was undertaken, in simple justice ’
for our splendid debt of gratitude. ' J
And >9 you see these huts today, hundreds of them; where ’
French an£ Americana stand side by side, holding out a hand <
of friendship to the war-worn, grinded on whose fighting spirit
is an inspjgaban to our Yanks. FcyOr du SoJdat they call
tbs hut—bSarth of the soldier—the neatest approach borne up*
on the roajl to battle.
“The Support and comfort of your .Foyers,” says General
Mangin, "Jmub been and will oontinue to be a tremendous phys
ical comfotjand moral support, and has given the soldiers that
fooling of hbme which has been so -much lacking.”
“Your Foyers,” says Clemenceau, “constantly established
in increasing numbers/ as great at the front as in the rear, has
rendered to bur soldiers most highly appreciated service. Thanks
to your efforts, our children have found in. your midst a center
of distraction and comfort”
United in this war for freedom, our fighters stand beside
the soldiers of France. United in this campaign for morale,
these seven organizations come to you as one. France’s fight
is our fight. Unity of command is winning on the battlefields
abroad. Unity is hastening victory through morale. Give for
morale, giv« for unity, give for victory 1
