A—2 puw - BANKHEAD SEES [0-CENT COTTON Believes Farmers Will Be Rewarded for Compliance With Acreage Cut. By the Assoclated Press. An administration plan to advance | 30 cents a pound on this year’s cotton | crop to farmers who will conform to | the 1934 acreage reduction program was | predicted today by Senator Bankhead of Alabama, after a call at the White House. After conferring with President | Roosevelt, Secretary Wallace and George N. Peek. agricultural administrator, Bankhead expressed a definite belief that “a plan will be worked out as quickly as possible to advance 10 cents a pourd on this year's cotton crop to farmers, In consideration of an agree- ment by the farmer to comform with the Federal acreage producti>n program for 1934." The Administration has set a goal of reducing the 1934 cotton acresge from 40,000,000 to 25,000,000. Confer With Financial Agencies. Secretary Wallace and Peek left the ‘White House to confer with financial | agencies of the Government with the | obvious intent of putting the plan into early operation. Senator Bankhead was the es- man of cotton representatives recently gathered here and headed the delega- tion which called on President Roose- velt yesterday, urging that the Gov- ernment purchase half of this year's erop at 15 cents a pound. ‘he Alabaman read his statement to newspaper men from notes he had | scribbled on 8 piece of paper. “I have no authority to speak for the Administration,” he said, “and ' this statement is to be considered as my ersonal impression from the confer- ‘ence with the President attended by Secretary Wallace, Mr. Peek and myself.” Bankhead said the subject of cur- gency inflation had not come up. Favors Lower Price. The cotton belt States proj the (Government purchase half of this year's crop still held by producers—about 5,000,000 bales—at 15 cents a pound, with the understanding that for every bale purchased by the Government the producers will cut next year's crop that much.

Hearing Devoted to Fibers. ‘The hearing will be devoted to the| effects of fibers, particularly jute and hemp, on the consumption of cotton, which since August 1 has borne & processing tax of 4.2 cents a pound. At a previous hearing data respecting silk and rayon was presented, but no action has been taken by the Adminis- tration to determine whether processing taxes should be levied on these. At that hearing administrators said ' they obtained {nsufficlent information | bearing on jute, hemp and other fiber products. The A. A.

ROOSEVELT-SCANS HIS ADVISORS’ PLANS FOR DOLLAR CONTROL (Continued From First Page.) amount of gold in it in accordance with price indices. “This means that should it be de- sirable to stabilize prices at, say 1926 levels, gold could be taken from the 23.22 grains in the gold-standard dol- lar in sufficlent quantity to raise the prices to the desired levels. Conversely, if lower prices were wanted, gold could be added. “By taking gold from the dollar, or adding to it, you increase or decrease the supply, which in turn raises or low- ers prices, respectively, by making gold more plentiful or scarcer. “It would not be necessary to control production of commodities or to fix their prices. A stabilized dollar would not mean that if the wheat crop were short, for example, wheat prices would remain what they were if the crop was heavy, because they would be higher. “But controlling the gold value of the money would stabilize the average price levels of all commodities within mini- mum and maximum limits, would stop price collapses and prevent wild infla- tion of commodity values that are due to gold. It would not prevent fluctua- tions in business due to other causes.” Swedish Plan Cited. “Sweden presents a good example. About three years ago prices started falling rapidly there, but part-way down the decline, Sweden began managing her currency, and through this stabil- ized prices at much higher levels than has the United States, as this country kept right on the price tol . We've Just started to turn uphill. Sweden now wants higher prices, so the cur- rency will be managed to lift the gen- average levels. “That is the way it is worked. If price indices begin to swing one wa or another and the swing is not wanted, the manipulation of the currensy will check it; if a "«'ins is wanted, the cur- Tency control can force it. Homes Show Loss. “It is far better to have stabilized ?rlce levels than stable wages and fall- ng prices, the latter two ruinous to a nation, particularly its hidden in- vestments. “For example, one may figure 3 per cent a year depreciation on his house; but if prices are down on top of that, 2, 3 or 5 per cent more may be added by forces over which the house owner has no control. “Yet his property has depreciated the normal three, plus whatever percentage the price fall is. Multiplying this by the number of houses presents a stagger- ing total of losses.” Senator Thomas said in a statement Jast night that “the fallure to inflate the currency has caused the removal of the New York Stock Exchange from New York City to New Jersey.” Credit Famine Charged. “Deflation,” the Oklahoma Deémocrat, a leading inflation advocate, said, “has caused a famine in currency and credit, and because of inability of the property owners and business men of New York City to pay their taxes, the officials of the city have found it necessary to in- crease the taxes on every active business was about the only institution showing signs of pros- gg‘rlty, and hence the city tax upon the nsactions coming through the ex- hange. 5 'n':: taxes im| by the Federal Government on the State of New York were already a heavy burden upon the | majing exchange and when the City of New York added an additional tax, the ex- change found it necessary to remove to another point where taxes would not be 80 burdensome. “Hence I attribute the forced removal of the e: directly to the opposi- tion of Wall street to inflation and the failure of the Federal Reserve System to - the amount of money in circus | reports submitted at their meeting What's What || Behind News in Capital. Bank Leaders Roast Administration On Credit Policy. BY PAUL MALLON. THE_Advisory Council meetings | of Fedéral Reserve bankers are real secret sessions. Nobody talks outside the closed doors. However, no door could strong enough to hold the stories about what went on at the last session. They say it was as lively a meeting as bank- ers ever held. The administration was roasted unanimously for its banking atti- tude. Chairman Jones of the R. F. €. and Attorney General Cum- mings wer> singled out particu- larly for the sharpest sort of criticisni. ‘The bankers-even selected an unof- ficial commifttee, headed by a promi- nent conservative Democrat from among them. This committee was told to go to the highest administra- tion sources'and to see if Jones and Cummings could be made to talk a little less critically about the banking profession. Attacks Credit Policy. Those who heard the din from with- in say Gov. Black tried to calm his boys down as much as he could. He cajoled them into an agreement to support the administration credit in- flation movement. But he could not stop the statement issued by President Smith of the council, advising banks t0 be cautious about lending too much. In fact, the Smith statement could logically be interpreted as an extraor- dinary attack on the administration policy. At least it nullified the promise of co-operation. The frritation of the bankers is easlly understandable. The private; showed most banks are rflnfing 8.:.]{” cent of their loan applications. ey consider the other 15 per cent bad loans. Scolded Like Children. If they grant any bad loans, the ad- ministration will be the first one to howl. It will close them up. And yet Jones and Cummings have been speaking to them as if they were naughty children for not lending all their money willy-nilly. It the inner whispers are to be believed, the bankers agreed with- out dissent that Black and Con- troller O’Connor were “the only administration officials who have any conception of the banking problem.” What annoyed them most was the effect on public psychology of such statements as those made by Jones and Cummings. Bankers are in a bad spot any way. The good ones have been blamed for the sins of the few. They feel their business requires public confidence and now, when they are trying to come back, the administration starts shoot- ing at them. May Bring Good Results. It probably is a good thing that the matter has been brought to a crisis. 1t should result in a better understand- ing all around. Co-operation rather than further quarreling is in prospect. Incidentally, the reserve council was excited about money inflation pros- pects, but took no action. The bankers agreed the best way to inflate, if it had to be done, was to issue currency against money tied up in closed banks. They all told each other they would support Mr. Roosevelt, no matter what he does. They know their salvation rests in him. An influential administration official outlined Mr. Roosevelt’s view on infla- tion privately the other day. It is not official but it sounds authentic and may be accepted as such. It follows: “The President is essentially a sound money man. But he regards the exist- ing agitation for inflation as legit- imate. If his credit inflation policies feil to bring desired results, he will not hesitate.” Hull Names Congress Pal. State Secretary Hull put a personal friend in as Prof. Moley’s successor. R. Walton Moore is Huil's pal of con- gressional days. Moore took an interest in the foreign service while he was a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. He holds the old-time- Democratic doc- trines on international matters, as does Hull Mr. Roosevelt originally called off his scheduled trip to the American Legion Convention because his advisers told him it would not be necessary. They said the convention was all set to ac- cept the administration program gen- erally and that his personal appear- ance would not be needed. Gen. Atterbury is known as the “Peck's Bad Boy” among railroad ex- ecutives. One thing that held up the Russian cotton-metal credit was haggling over terms. The Soviets wanted a four-year credit at a low interest rate. The deal ulti- ‘mately will be made. ‘The State Department frothed when 1t heard rumors that the Chinese were selling our cotton to Japap after we loaned China the money to it. Our diplomatic officials in the East were told to warn the Chinese privately that if they did anything like t they ‘would tget go mor_lgh cotton, money or sympathy here. The prospects were that China would b2 trr htened out of the deal. They should be. Any cotton she sells in Japan will cause the Japanese to buy just that much less here. (Copyright. 1833.)

C. Examiners Recom- mend Revision in Rail and Water Schedules. By the Assoclated Press. Two Interstate Commerce Commis- sion examiners today recommended to Lakes be revised, in a majority of in- stances downward. : “The railroads, acting under the di- rection of the ¢ommission in connec- tion with recent revisions of rates in Eastern, Illinois and Western trunk line territories, filed rates for combination rail-lake hauls which were protested by many cities in the West and Middle ‘West. Examiners William J: Koebel and Arthur 8. Parker, to whom the case was, assigned, today recommended a complete revision of the rates which would bring reductions of from 3 to 10 cents per 100 pounds from New York and New England ints to Duluth, Marshall, Minneapol and St. Paul, Minn.; Eau Claire, Wis.; 8t. Louls, : Bemidji, Minn.; Fargo, Devils Lake, Bi marck and Williston, N. Dak., and Aber- deen, Lemmon, Sioux Falls, Mitchell and Rapid City, S. Dak, and in some instances from one or more Eastern points to other Western cities. Recommend Rate Zones. ‘The examiners also recommended the commission divide the Eastern section of the country into zones for making rates, including lake hauls, with some variation between the individual zones. The Eastern zone, known as area A, would include all of New England, north and east of the Pennsylvania railroad from Erle, Pa., through Corry, Pa., to Baltimore; thence east of the Baltimore & Ohio to Washington and along the Potomac River and Chesa- peake Bay. The rate between this area and Lake Superfor docks would be 15 cents less than the corresponding all-rail rate. Eastern area B would include the portions of Pennsylvania, eryl.lnd,[ Virginia, West Virginia and Ohio south and west of area A and east and north of the Baltimore & Ohio from Cleve- | land through Akron to Uhrkmvme,w Ohio; thence over the Pennsylvania. through Jewett, Ohio, to Oakdale and McKeesport, Pa.; thence over the Bal- timore & Ohio_to West Virginia Cen- tral Junction, W.

Eastern area C would include - tions of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia south of area B, east and north of a boundary formed by the Baltimore & Ohio from Uhrichs- ville v.nmu‘;'r;l Holloway and Blaine, Ohio, and eeling and St. Marys, W. Va.; thence on an air line to Lamber- ton, W. Va.; thence over the Baltimore & Ohio through Clarksburg and Graf- ton, W. Va,, and Oakland, Md., to West Virginia Central Junction. There would be no difference in the rates from this area. The examiners also recommended an arbitrary charge of 30 cents be added 10 the rates recommended to and from Duluth on freight from the East to St. | M Paul and Minneapolis, and that be- tween the Twin Cities and the docks,at Lake Erle ports on traffic in directions the following arbitraries be charged: Buffalo-Erie, $1.20; Cleve- land, $1.24, and Detroit, $1.19. For freight to be delivered within the boundaries of any lake seaport the ex- aminers recommended an Arbitrary charge of 3 cents per 100 pounds from the docks to the delivery point. On dairy products, which the exami- ners treated separately from other types the recommendation Wwas that the rate on minimum carloads unds be 60 per cent of the cl correspon« lass 1 rates.

HALT GRAIN PARLEY Delegates Stumped as Rus- sia Insists on Double Export Quota. By the Assoclated Press. LONDON September 22.— Russia stood pat today on her demand that she be allowed to export about twice as much wheat as has been allotted to her under the international wheat agree- ment, and a meeting between the rep- resentdtives of the Boviet government and of the “big four” exporting na- tions broke up without getting any- where. The original figure set for Russia Wwas 44,000,000 bushels. The Russian delegate, having made known his claims, departed before the conclusion of the meeting, leaving the others to decide what they were going to do about it. Other nations participating were the United States, Canada, Argentina and Australia. The United States was rep- resented by John Van A. MacMurray, Minister-designate to Rigs, and Loyd V. Bteere, who has been the American agricultural attache in Berlin. After the meeting it was said in an authoritative quarter that the Russian stand presented the hardest nut the ' conferees yet have had to crack. Representatives of the exporting na- tions expect to meet again next week to see if they can get any further with the problem. Meanwhile, some of them | may consult their governments for guidance. It is not expected that there will be | any developments making it practical to expand the total of 560,000,000 bushels agreed upon as the export figure for the entire world. The status of the European wheat crops now has been determined, but it was sald in American quarters that more may be known about the Argen- tine and Australian crops before the next session of the full International bAedw;_?ry ‘Wheat Commission Novem- T 27.

The Roosevelt message follows: “May I send through you my personal greetings to the mayors who are assem- bled in Chicago. I hope that during your deliberations you will consider carefully the relationship of your States and subdivisions to the recovery pro- gram of the Federal Government. Con- gress has appropriated three billions three hundred millions of dollars to fi- nance a comprehensive program of pub- lic works, in part for Federal projects. Approximately one billion six hundred millions already have been allocated. We are at the point now where the States and municipalities interested in public works projects should come for- ward quickly with proposals which will give immediate work to their unem- ployed. “We want to co-operate to the fullest possible extent and I assure you that after your projects have been passed upon by the State Advisory Boards thev will be acted upon in Washington with a minimum of delay. “We will match speed with you. The money is available and we want to put men to work. “I wish the mayors all success in their deliberations and I especially hope that these deliberations will result in & stimulation of interest all along the line on our public works program.” N. R. A. DOOMED, S-AYS HOAN. Milwaukee Mayor Declares End of Profit System Only Cure. MILWAUKEE, September 22 (®)— Daniel Hoan, Milwaukee's Socialist mayor. told the International Associa- tion of Public Works Officials today that the national recovery act was doomed to failure, noble though its purpose, because mere regulation of private bus- iness was not enough. ‘The only way to put an end to un- employment and close the gap between overproduction and underconsumption, he said, is to abolish the profit system and give to those who produce wealth all the fruits of their labors. President Roosevelt, he said, was sent to Washington by a political revolution that spelled the end of the philosophy of “rugged individualism.” “We are facing the death of the cap- italistic system,” he declared. “Fortu- nately we had the ballot to save us from violence. People won't go hungry long.” n’I!he individual industrial giant was a necessity of the past to teach us to produce, the mayor said, but he has outlived his usefulness. “Now we have to find a sensible way to get rid of the stuff,” he added.
