THE PRESIDENT IS ASKED TO REMOVE EMBARGO ON COTTON Petition Prepared By Senator Hoke Smith and Signed By Ail Southern Senators, Except One. The following Is a copy of the petition prepared by Senator Hoke Smith, which was presented to President Wilson Just before he sailed for France this month. It bears the signatures of all, but one, of the Southern senators. It U hoped that the President will act favorably on this petition very shortly and that the embargo will be removed. February Twenty-Fourth, 1919 Mr. President:— We respectfully urge the necessity for Immediately removing cotton from the embargo list The present price at which cotton sells Is below the estimated cost of production in many localities. Hankers and merchants have advanced upon it in many Instances beyond the prices at which it now seTls. This situation Is demoralizing business conditions in the States where eotton is raised, and threatens serious financial loss to cotton growers and to merchants and bankers who have advanced money upon' cotton. Cotton, now on the embargo list, can only be exported where the exportation Is approved by the War Trades Board. A number of us have learned recently of large sales of cotton which would have been made to neutral countries, but for the fact that the War Trades Board refused li censes, and cotton, being on the embargo list, could not be exported without the licenses. That you may appreciate the condition and the injury that this re striction of markets places upon holders of cotton, we call your attention to the fact that cotton was selling last September for thirty-eight cents a pound. It was then that the subject of cotton was referred to the War Industries Board with a view to stabilizing the price, or fixing the price. This inter ference with the market broke the price and demoralized purchaser so that buyers ceased to purchase at the thirty-eight cent market and bid down the market to around thirty cents a pound. The War Industries Board finally determined that it had no authority to fix a price and no power to maintain n. but the injury had already been done. Then It developed that the War Trades Board was seriously inter fering with the export of cotton by restricting licenses for shipment even to countries not contiguous to Germany and Austria, and from which countries cotton could not have reached either of the enemy countries. This still farther demoralized the cotton market and forced down the price. If cotton is taken off the embargo list, broader opportunities for sale at once will follow, and the injury which has been done to cotton raisers aad merchants and bankers in the sections where cotton is raised will be reduced. We earnestly appeal to you to take cotton off the embargo list and permit it normally to be sold and shipped where purchasers are willing to buy. The cotton raiser has suffered more from the war than any class mt our citizens. He is not now asking the Government to give him the assistance which is going to other farm products. We only ask that be be relieved from burdens placed upon him by his own Government. Respectfully, North Carolina: — F. M. SIMMONS. LEE 8. OVERMAN. South Carolina: — ELLISON D. SMITH. WM. P. POLLOCK.
