THE NEWNAN HERALD, NEWNAN, GA„ FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1920. NEWNAN, GA., FRIDAY, DEC. 17. THE NEWNAN HERALD shrunk onormounly and is exported to romain low for some years. Export trade 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,- 000 bales.” Official Organ of Coweta County. Jan. E. Brown. O. W. Passavant.

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 lion Gorman apind|$y->aro .mow idle, but not entirely’ 09 booAuso of lack of raw notton. Investigation aa to whothor mills could bo started if raw cotton wore avail able, if they could purchase on credit, and whothor they would bo willing to give first lion'on mills and on one-half of all manufactured goods to guarantee fnymont of bills at maturity, disclosed fCnt first Ron upon mills was impracti • ratlffe because most mills are already imortgaged. The Investigation disclosed 'that the. banks are reluctant to guaran tee payments because they are thereby •obligated on long torm credits to take ’the risk of exchsngo. Discussion of a • German government guarantee aa addi- ltsenal collate qal, through deposit of lbonliB or otherwise, giving preferred pay isaeitki for cotton developed that the gen •end feeling in tho textile industry wns 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 SUNDAY SERVICES. Central Baptist Church.—Frank L. Hardy, D. D., minister. Sunday-school ».:i0 a. in.; B. M, Blackburn, superin tendent.
