SENATOR SMITH ON PRICE-FIX
ING FOR < OTTON.
’The question <>' prk •.-fixing for co:
ton is now of overshadowing import
ance in the south. It is the one shift-'
ject of general conversation, and the
cne about which there is the least
diversity- of opinion
Prices have been established for
iron, steel copper, wheat, corn, ana
other ari’.de. and litics, Cot-,
ton alor.e. anrn. th” groat staples,'
remains with a price largely depend
ent upon c-xfr..■:<■<> c-mlitions.
The South has bslb >ed that, under
pro? ent conditio:: , » any rate, cot-'
ton wag better off without a fixed
price. However, now that the gov-,.
, ■ ■ .rhi has cl determina-. ,
tion to fix a pri< P 1
vailing idea is to have it establish-.'
ed as high as po Ule. high enough
to insure a certain profit-
All figures prove that, the present
crop cost around thirty cents. ,IU
were foolish, therefore, to attempt to <
designate a price below that mark,
as it would be ruinous. It would give, :
the South a setback the [ike of which
it has not experience d since the war
bqean
Senator Hoke Smith, in a statement ;
defining his position, gives some co
gent reasons why the price should
be placed at forty cents. He believes: 1
this is not a bit too high, but on the . 1
other hand is consistent with
prices that have been fixed on other, i
commouuiuca. •><- • .
“If there had been no agitation of. ’
price fixing it is probable that mid
dling cotton would now be selling
for forty cents a pound. Before the
Finance Committee on Monday ex-j 1
perts testified showing that the prices:
being paid now by the Government
to manufacturers of cotton goods av
erage three times as much as current
prices before the war. Corn is selling ■
I 1
for nearly three times as much as;
it did before the war. This is true 1
of many other commodities, even
when production of those commodi
ties has been normal.
“Our cotton crop this year is cer-j
tainly off twenty-five per cent. This
fact should be considered as an ele-!
ment in the cost of production and <
the relative increase of price of other
commodities In determining a fair
price for cotton. The farmers plant- (
ed and cultivated land which normal- [ ,
ly would have produced between sis- ,
teen and sixteen millions of bales,' t
and by the unfavorable season of last
July and August the crop was cut’ ,
from twenty-five to thirty-three and,
one-third per cent. They are, there-,
fore, entitled to an increased compen- ■
sation for that which they raised to
carry the expense incident to making j
the crop.
“Cotton was selling for thirteen,
cents before the wa r in Europe be- 1
gan. Three times this would be thir
ty-nine cents and a reasonable in-.
crease for the short crop would carry
it above forty cents.’’
AN AMERICAN PEACE.
Every peace proposal put forward:
by the German government has been;
based on the principle of what Prus
sian statesmen describe to their peo
ple as “a strong German peace.”
That sounded very well while Ger
man arms seemed to be winning. It
must come home to the German na
tion now with a sickening sense of
futility.
We know well enough what a ’Ger
man peace’ would mean. It would
have little in common with the “Ro
man peace” of which the phrase is
reminislent. Prussia, we know, as-
l
pired to be another Rome, making the
world her empire. But Roman rule
was, on the whole, tolerant and even
benevolent. Under it, most of the
subject peoples prospered, despite oc
casional plundeing of conscienceless
Roman govemers. It gave weak
neighbors protection against the
strong. It meant a stern but fairly
just system of world-policing To
nearly all the conquered countries it
brought civilization and enlighten
ment.

mania exemplified the beginnings of
the ’Corman peace’’ that was to be
re: d ever all the earth, a peace of
i; tiny, exploitation and destruction,
a r thless extinction of human libert
y's a brutalizing "of free' and en
lightened peoples a substitution of
force and darkness for spirit and
life. -
Senator Lodge well said in a re
cent speech: “No peace that satisfies
Germany can ever satisfy us. It can
not be a negotiated peace. It must
be a dictated peace, and we and our
allies must dictate it.”
That means “a strong Allied
peace.” It means an American
peace. And an indispensable condi
tion of that peace is the uncondition
al surrender of Germany.
THE I 01 i?TH LOAN IS THE FIGHT
ING LOAN.
As the campaign for the Fourth
Liberty Loan approaches the Ameri
can Army in France moves on toward
Berlin. Under our own leaders the
great American Army has won a no
table victory.
The Fourth Loan must be a great
success. The Fourth Liberty Loan is
a fighting loan.
When the soldiers on the battle
front are braving death, each one of
fering to make the supreme sacrifice
for nis country and the great cause,
we who i emain safely at home surely
should give them every support,
should make every sacrifice to streng
then them. If we can not fight our
selves we can make our dollars fight. ;
It is a great cause for which Amer- J
ica ig engaged in this war; it is a
great struggle in which the very hope ;
of the world is bound up that is bo- i
ing waged in Europe and on the high !
seas. It is an honor to have a parti
in it and all Americans, all of their j
lives, will be proud of the part they j
had in it or ashamed of their failure ‘
to do their part.
The Fourth Loan is a fighting loan.
Every subscriber to the Loan strikes
a blow fo r liberty, for victory.

WHICH IS YOUR CLASS. |
After the war there will be two
classes of citizens—those who pay
taxes and draw interest, and those
who only pay taxes.
In which class will you be?
The war must go on until the Jinn
i
is whipped—and somebody must pry
the bills.
Not all of us can serve at the
. i
front. Not all of us can make mum-,
tions. But every one of us can serve
according to our means by lending
to our country—which, after all.;
means lending to ourselves—the
money which will pay for the war. I
The purchase of Liberty bonds is a
national necessity, and at the same.
time it is a blessing in disguise. To;
save now, is to have in after years. ;
Money is cheap now. Its purchas-1
ing power is small. By laying it
awa y now, in the form of Liberty
Bonds, it will be paid to you when
its purchasing power probably will
be higher. Thus you will draw inter
est in two ways. Besides the regu
lar interest rate borne on the cou
pons. the fifty dollars, worth one suit
of clothes today, may be wortfi two
suits of clothes when you cash in the
bond at maturity.
The careful trader sells when
things are high and buys when they
are low. He stores his low-cost goods
fo r a higher market. Your money,
stored away with Uncle Sam now,
should reap you a handsome profit in
years to come.
Your Money Should not Be Neutral;
Enlist It In The Fourth Loan.
