Speculation Urged for Pauage
By Agricultural Head
Passage of th? Vinson bill design
ed to prohibit the manipulation of
future trading in cotton and also

thority to regulate cotton exchanges
endorsed by Secr.'tary of Agri
culture Jardino last week In a letter
to Chairman Haugen of the house
agriculture committee.
Congressman Carl Vinmn of the

of the bill is substanitally to reenact
the essential provisions of the pres
ent cotton futures act and at the
same time to adapt to the cotton fu
tures market the existing legislation
applying to the grain futures mark
et.”
“This proposed law would con
tain a finding hy Congress,” the
secretary said, “that future trading
in cotton is affected with the na
tional public’s interest; that fu
ture tranmetions are susceptible to
manipulation and control; that un
reasonable fluctuations in prices
occur by reason of such manipu
lations and control which constitute
an obstruction to and a hard n upon
interstate commerce nnd render regu
lation imperative. Congress has al
ready made such a finding in the
case of grain futurcR
Congressman Vinson, who ia reco
gnized us one of the outstanding law
makers of the Nation, has sponsored
some of the most constructive legis

any man coming from the south. Last
sumnr r reports issued from the agri
cultural department put the price of
cotton down and tended to demora
lize the market. Congressman Vin

mediately framed 1 gislation with a
view of relieving thia condition in
the future.
