INTERVIEW WITH HON.
LUTHER MARTIN
ON THE VALUE OF COTTON
And On Senator Hoke
Smith’s Speech Upon
The Subject
(From the Elberton Star.)
Honorable Luther Martin, three l
times a member of the Legislature,
from Elbert County, and former trus-
ee of (he State College of Agriculture
who has been in Washington city
most of the time during the adminis
tration of President Wilson, returned
uoiue Monday.
Mr. Martin is enthusiastic about the
price which cotton should bring, and
declares that thirty cents a pound
would not be excessive for coUon
when compared to prices at which
wool, corn, wheat and other things
are selling.
Mr. Martin heard the speech deli
vered September 13th, in the Senate,
by Senator Hoke Smith, on “The Em
bargo and the Value of Cotton.”
Mr. Martin said that the embargo
on cotton was, at that time, being
unfairly used to force down the price
and cotton had fallen from twenty
six to nineteen cents a pound.
Speaking of the speech, Mr. Martin
said:
“Senator Smith showed that cotton
had not gone to Germany or Austria
for two yeaars; that England had for
two years entirely controlled ship
ments to neutral countries of north
ern Europe, and only allowed three
hundred thousand hales last year to
go to Holland, Denmark, Norway and
Sweden.
“He also showed that our govern
ment would not Interfere with these
shipments, and that the embargo
would not lessen the market for cot
ton.
“lie showed that the consumption
of cotton since the war began hr.tl
exceeded production two million bales,
and that the surplus cotton, which
was in the world at the beginning of
the war, has be4n used up.
“He showed that last year the con
sumption of our cotton exceeded the
estimate hy the Agricultural Depart
ment of this year’s crop one million,
bales.
“He showed that the demand for
cotton this year would be greater tha rt
that of last year and, therefore, the
demand for our cotton this year would
exceed production more than a mil
foil bales, and sajrl that If cotton was-
selling relatively as high as wool,
corn and wheat, It would sell for thir
ty cents a pound.
**Ihe facts presented by Mr. Smith*
destroyed the argument of those who
were depressing^ the price of cotton.
Other Senators, a day or two later,
followed upon the same line, and now
the facts furnished by Senator Smith
are being generally circulated all
over the United States.
“They have broken down the ’bear
movement’ against cotton, and cotton
is again selling for over twenty-five
cents a pound.
“We are all especially interested '
right now in the price of cotton, and»
all should appreciate how Senator
Smith put together the facts and pre
sented them to the Senate to stop the
‘bears’ in their unfair raid on‘the
price of cotton.
“No farmer should sell any cotton
for less than twenty-five cents a
pound.”
