lift* also diminished Rrontly. Therefore,
if stocks of cotton wore supplied to Gor-
nmny It might not ho possible to use
them because of look of export orders
and fuel. It Is not snfc to estimate
that the industry, ovon if aided by Amor-
lean credits can consume more tlinn 700,-

War Finance Board Reviewed.
Responding to the Insistent demand
for legislation that will afford some re
lief to the fanning interests of the coun
try tho U. H. Benato passed a resolution
Mondny directing the revival of the
much talkod of War Finance Corpora
tion, which was anspondod several months
ngo by order of tho Becretary of tho
Treasury, and tho resolution was imme
dintcly transmitted to tho House, where
it wns expected to have easy sailing.
Tho section of tlin resolution directing
that tho War Finnnoo Corporation bo
revived rends ns folinwH—
"Tho Secretary of the Treasury and
tho members of the War Finance Cor
poration nro hereby directed to rovivo
tho activities of tho War Financo Cor
poration, -aliil tlint said corporation bo
nt once rehabilitated witli tho view of
financing tho exportation of agricultural
and other products to foroign markets. 11
Tho resolution refers to tho extension
of credits ns follows—
“It is the opinion of Congress that
tho Fodernl Roservo Honrd should tnko
such action ns may bo necessary to per
mit the member hanks of tho Fodernl
Roservo System to grant liborul exten
sions of credit to tho farmors of the coun
try upon tho socurity of the agricultural
products now hold by thorn, by permit
ting tho rediscounting of such notes of
-axtonaion at n fair and reasonable rate
of interest.”
Further evidences of tho willingness
of Congress to do somotliing for tho re
lief of tho farmors of the South and
West is indicated by the number of
bills dealing with tho subjects that have
been proposed by difforont moinbors, both
in tho Senate and ITouso. Among tho
various measures introduced is one to
place an embargo on wheat imports, an
other to prohibit the importation of cot
ton, uud so oil. To what extent these
mops urea will help tho situation, if t.lioy
should puss, remains to bo seen. We
have been hearing for some timo tlint
Germany is oagor to got cotton, lior re
quirement* being generally oatlmatod nt
two million bales. TIiIb is why such a
clamor was made for the revival of the
War Finnnoo Corporation, the argu
ment lining tlint. nmplo capital would bo
provided in this way to facilitate exports
to Germany, tho transactions to bo
financod by tho Govornmont. Undoubt
edly Gormimy in in need o( cotton, and
would bo glud to got it upon torms that
sho could moot; but it now turns out
that, instead of two million bales, not
more than sovon hundred thousand halos
■can lio ntilisod to advantage In that
country, owing to tho demoralized con
dition of hor manufacturing Intorosta.
This condition is fully doacribod in n
statement given out Tuesday by tho U.
& Bureau of Mnrkots, which soya—
“Tho Gorman cotton industry, evon If
aldod by American credits, could con-
sumo not more than 700,000 bulcs of
American cotton during tho present 'cot
ton yenr, according to an estimate nmdo
liy tiie Department of Agriculture's
'bureau of markots, after au inquiry
■through confidential channels. Numer
ous requests from ootton producers aid
others for information us to tho possi
bility of increasing takings of cotton
by Germany which, prior to tho war,
wna an important foreign outlot for low
grade staple, prompted tho inquiry. It
waa found that approximately four mil

and whothor they would bo willing to

of all manufactured goods to guarantee

fCnt first Ron upon mills was impracti

imortgaged. The Investigation disclosed
'that the. banks are reluctant to guaran

ltsenal collate qal, through deposit of

absolutely against any government guar
anty which would onablo tho Gorman
government to obtain or oxereiao any
tsort of control over tho industry. It
was found that tho mills are willing to
anabe deferred payments in American
■currency. Tho report said it was too
early in the ootton yoar to obtain any
authoritative estimate of this yoar’s raw
cotton consumption in Germany. Last
year’s consumption was about 550,000
bales. This year between 600,000 and
700,000 boles, hold last year as army
-stocks of yarn,' have boon exhausted.
Pre-war Germany consumed about 1,-
■800,000 bales, the report says. The
loss of Alsace-Lorraine has reduced its
spinning and weaving capacity about
13 per cent The industry now works an
edght-hour day instead of ten hours. Its
maximum capacity may therefore be
