from each of the major cotton pro
ducing states of the nation.
“The problem which confronts
our industry, the cotton industry,
reduced to a simple form is the age
old problem of supply and demand.
Without criticising the government
al efforts to deal with the situation,
it can be said definitely, and with
out controversy, that in the main
the government undertook to solve
the problem from a single angle:
namely, from the standpoint of sup
ply or production.
"We are in complete accord
throughout the industry as to the
desirability of increasing the con
sumption of American cotton and
its by-products by intelligent, ad
vertising of those products. We are
also in accord on the desirability of
improving quality, scientific re
search for new uses, revision of
tariffs, and opposition to discrim
inatory legislation.
“Is there then any sort of reason
why representatives of each of the
five cotton interests should not
come together, perfect an organiza
tion, and fight for the advancement
of the industry?”
The plan of the National Cotton
Council and the Georgia unit is to
raise a fund for the operation of
the new organization by making as
sessments
