of approving “every phase" of the
administration of President w,lson -
There are many splendid achieve

Let me call your attention ,, .. „ to f „ two
thing, which I disapprove and that
you can not approve.
During 1918 cotton had steadily
advanced in price until, about the
first of September, it reached thir¬
ty-eight cents n pound. The Presi¬
dent had a b rd, called the War
Industries Board, the Chairman of
which Mr. Barney Baruch. „ . On r,
was
September 4th Mr. Baruch issued a
•tatement ‘ that, with the approval
of , the , President, the , Whi Wai . Indus- Indus
tries Board would appoint with a
mittee to study cotton a view
of stabilizing prices. He issued an
other statement September 5tn, an
other September 15th, another hep
tember 25th, another
27th, and they kept on
.tatements until they had
down the price of cotton moie
ten cents a pounu. Among
thing., they stated in their
tins that the committee prices,and might the Pres
commend basic
ident appoint a single exported;
agency for all cotton
would fix the prices this
would give; remove all
among buyers and force
owtler. to sell at the prices
named. This threat, of
broke the market.

portation of cotton except
rule, that he might called, prescribe.
appointed, what he a
Trades Board to regulate This
for exporting cotton,
continued to suppress exports
the war wa. over.
A’I the Southern Senators
or. signed a petition urging
President to take cotton off the
bargo list, and give a chance to
markets. I saw the President
number of times and called his
tention, when cotton got down
about twenty-six cents a pound,
the danger of bringing ruin,
enly to the farmers, but upon
merchants and bankers who had
vanced upon cotton. Even in
1915, when he returned
France, we plead with him to
cotton off the embargo list, but
refused. There was no
for his conduct. He and Mr.
and Mr. Vance McCormack,
their two committees, broke
price of cotton in the fall and
ter of 1918 and 1919 more
fifty dollars a bale, and they
the owners of cotton in the
aif Georgia a kiss of over
five millions of dollar..
This is one phase of the
dent’s administration that I do
approve Do you ? And yet
Palmer asks you to vote for
because he approves it.

Senator Smith Replies to
Attack of His Opponents
for Protecting Cotton
Farmers in 1915.
I see that some of my friends in
Gainesville were displeased insisted with
my course in 1915, when T

international law. "My
had suffered so much from the lost
markets for their co tton in 1914
lhj(l j was bent upon obtaining for
them their well-established rights
to the freedom of the seas and the
freedom of the use of neutral ports.
President Wilson took exactly th*
same position anjl our State De
partment (March 31, 1915) notified
Great Britain that her interference
with shipments of non-contraband
good, to neutral ports “violated the
mogt stu . re( j rightg 0 f this country.”

and a( )vised officials of our

least in part be done by buying
C otton heavily immediately follow
• the order making cotton contra
band,
j am gure thjg suggeg tion was
carried out. The day after the an
nouncement that Great Britain had
p U ( cotton upon the contraband list
the p r , ce 0 f cotton went up on the
Liverpool Exchange; the day l’oi
i ow j n g it went up on the New York
Exchange, and in a few days it was
publicly known that British inter

t he New York Cotton Exchange.
Then representatives of German in¬
terests came to Washington to find
out why cotton advanced, although
put upon the cotton contraband list.
They concluded it w’as because
British interests knew peace would
soon be made, so they began buying
cotton heavily also, and our crop
of 1915 sold higher than it did be¬
fore the European war began.
In December, 1916, Sir Richard
Crawford, the Financial Agent of
British interests, showed in Wash¬
ington a statement ivhich disclosed
the very heavy purchases they had
made in August and September np
on the New York Cotton Exchange
and from the sale of which, later
on in the season, they had cleared
over four millions of dollars.
