BRITAIN TO RECOGNIZE
INDEPENDENCE OF EGYPT.
British Garrison, Will Be Kept in
Egypt and Britain Will Have *
Veto on Foreign Policy.
London, August 25.—The Lou
don Times says this morning it un
derstands that Great Brtiain lias
agreed to recognize the independ
ence of Egypt.
The decision, according to The
London Times, resulted from re
cent conversations here between
the Viscount Milner mission, which
recently visited Egypt and Egyp
tian delegates beaded by Said Zag
lou Pasha, former minister of jus
tice.
Among the fundamental points
of the agreetntn are: “Egypt will
recognize Great Britain’s privileg
ed position in the valley of Ihe
Kile and agree itt ease of war to af
ford every facility for access to
Egyptian territory; Great Britain
will maintain a garrison in Egypt,
in the canal zone; Egypt regains
control of foreign relations, sub
ject to her not making treaties
contrary to British policy, and "ill
have the right to maintain diplo
matic representatives abroad. Ga
pitnlations will be abolished.”

COTTON FARMERS MUST
GET READY TO FIGHT.
The cotton farmers of the South
must get ready—and get ready
quickly— for one of the most des
perate lights they have ever faced.
For months now the bear specu
lators and gamblers have been bet
ting that six months later tbey
would get the Southern farmer’s
cotton around thirty cents the
pound. Futures have been going
on that basis. But month by
month, as the time for delivering
spot cotton came, forty cents a
pound had to be paid.
Now at hist these bear specula
tors and those who depend on
them believe their turh has come,
cotton on which these interests are
It is the new crop and its distress
counting to save them.
This year’s cotton crop has been
the most expensive - ever grown,
and right now fertilizer prices are
going up $5 to sls a ton. Freight
rates the country over have just
been increased 25 to 40 per cent;
passenger fares 20 per cent and
Pullman surcharges 50 per cent,
which means increased cost for no
one knows how many commodities
the farmer buys. Nevertheless, a
tremendous array of forces in con
spiring to get the farmer's
for less than the <%>st of
tion Unfortunately, too, tin* wide
spread restriction of hank credit,
the general inability or refusal of
hanks to make reasonable loans,
plays into the hands of the hears.
The only way farmers can meet
this situation is by stiffening the
market from the very first day of
the new crop season. Ignorant
farmers would break the market
by slavishly accepting lower priqes
than now prevail must he warned.
They must be shown that they are
not only cheating themselves, but
destroying fTio hopes and profits
of all the rest of us.
Mr. E. \V. Dabbs, whose distin
guished record in Farmers’ Union
work is well known to our readers,
suggests that every county organ
ize a company with ample capital
to buy distress cotton and take it
off the market. That plan may or
may not be feasible in your conn-,
tv, hut it is feasible for every land
owner to help keep his tenant’s
crop off a depressed market. It is
feasible for us to interview the
merchants and bankers we patron
ize and suggest definite ways by
which they can help keep distress
cotton from hindering the progress
and prosperity of the South. And
in many eases it will he feasible
for each one of us to say to some
neigh bod. “Don’t sacrifice your
cotton for less than it is worth.
Hold on to it, skimp along some
how. and if T can help you in any
way, I’ll do it.” And wherever
there is distress cotton that must
be sold anyhow, some well-to-do
farmer should buy and absolutely
keep it out of the regular channels
of trade.
The situatioij calls for quick ac
tion. Officers of local and county
Uotton Associations, Farmers’ Un
ions, etc., should meet, and if nec
essary arrange for mass meetings
to discuss tiie situation And to ar
range for cooperative effort in
warehousing, selling and holding
up the market.—Progressive Far
