SIG CORPORATION
TO HANDLE COTTON
CAPITALIZATION OF FIFTY MIL
LION DOLLARS URGED BY GOV
ERNOR HARDING.
SAYS SALES AGENCY NEEDED
Sieggests That Corporation Be Co-Op
erative, And That It Handle
Only Export Cotton
Washington.—Organization of a co
operative cotton export corporation
•with capitalization of perhaps fifty
sritlion dollars, was advocated by Gov.
"W. P. G. Harding of the federal re
serve board.
This corporation, organized under
the Webb act, solely for foreign trade
transactions, could be financed to
some extent by the war finance corpo
ration und r the recent act authoriz
ing one billion to exporters, Governor
Harding suggested.
In payment for the stock Southern
not ten prodm >rs and business men
participating in the corporation might
*we Liberty bonds, which they hold,
thus eliminatin the necessity of tying
op large quantities of cash.
Mr. Har nr pugge Red that a con
gress of cotton producers and other
Easiness men be held at once to dis
cc*s the project. He explained that
l } using Liberty Bonds these would
toe held by the corporation as per
manent investments and would not
fee placed on the market. This would
remove any% objection by government
agencies to exchange of the corpora
tion's stock for Liberty Bonds.
“Every large manufacturing and
mining concern has a well-organized
sales department,” said the governor
i* his letter. “It would be suicidal
Tor any large manufacturer to devote
his activities to productions alone.
Many millions of people are engaged
in the production of cotton, but of all
oar great industries it is the only one,
I believe, which has no organized sales
department.”
A farmer or a merchant who has
<-otton for sale must either take the
price offered him or he must hold his
■co 'on in the hope of obtaining a high
er price, and he has no assurance that
he will get a higher price by holding.
The cotton spinners have their own
organizations; those who have cotton
for sale have none.
