Washington.— Secretary McAdoo's plan to accept as a basis for currency notes secured by warehouse receipts for cotton, tobacco and naval stores at 75 per cent of their face value was approved Friday night in a report by the special committee appointed by the conference of representative plant ers, bankers, manufacturers and deal ers held here August 24-25. The committee recommended that every effort be made to assist, pro ducers In holding their cotton for a price that will minimize their losses until the channels of foreign trade are reopened. Eight cents a pound was suggested as a fair basis for loans on cotton. The report which was submitted to Secretary McAdoo follows: "1. That the committew-entlrely ap prove of and congratulate you upon the anonuneement made by you yes terday afternoon that notes' secured by warehouse receipts for cotton and tobacco and naval stores and having not more than four months to run will be accepted as a basis for the Is sue of currency to the members of the national currency association at 75 per cent of face value of said notes.

That cotton does not de teriorate when properly warehoused, and Is sa good twenty years after it Is picked as when it is first gathered; that it can therefore be carried over until the restoration of normal busi ness conditions enables the world’s consumption to absorb it. The com mittee Is therefore of the opinion that every effort should be made to assist the producers to hold their cotton for a price that will minimize their loss as far as possible until such time as the channels of foreign trade shall be reopened. That loans upon cotton! made upon a basis of 8 cents per! pound for middling less such margin as the lender .(shall consider necessary, ! will afford reasonable protection to bankers and will greatly facilitate the financing of our most important ex port crop in the present emergency. Suggesting 8 Cents. "5. That in suggesting 8 cents per pound for middling cotton as a basis for loans, it is not the purpose of the ; committee to convey the idea that that i figure represents in their opinion the intrinsic value of cotton, but that it is sufficient in their judgment to‘meet the requirements of the situation, and enable the farmer to market hts cot- Young Herald Readers Celebrate Birthday Today Master Sherron Gary. 119 Center St. Miss Lillian Smith, Thomson, Ga.
