Washington, Oct. 19.?Sir George Paish, special adviser to the English chancellor of the excliquer; Basil B. Blackett, of the English treasury; Secretary McAdoo and the federal re serve board today began a series of conferences here which are expected to have an important affect on finan cial conditions in Great Britain and the United States. Restoration of nor mal conditions in foreign exchange dealings between the two countries is the object of the meetings and ithey probably will have a direct affect on the disposition of the South's cotton crop. / It became known tonight that offi cials of the American government feel keenly that cotton is the crux of a situation which has many ramifica tions and that on the success of plans to care for the surplus and on the wil lingness of manufacturers to buy cot ton depends the value of Sir George's visit. It is probable that before Sir George returns to England the question of a reopening of the London and New York cotton exchanges wil consid ered. It was predicted here tonight that the London Exchange Would re open shortly, with the British gov ernment urging that London brokers do not call loans immediately. If the London market is not greatly affect ed its resumption of business may be followed by the reopening of the New York exchange. So much depends on the cotton problem that there probably will be no further conference until a com- : mittee of the board, which is handl ing the proposed $150,000,000 cotton , loan fund plan, has found a satisfac tory solution. The committee, Secre- ; tary McAdoo, Paul M. Warburg and W. P. G. Harding, returned today ; from New York, where it had been at work since Saturday in an effort to convince New York bankers of the feasibility and soundness of plans for the fund. The New York bankers promised to put up one third of the loan fund SEE COPY CANT READ THIS! covered could not legally be met. The reserve board members proposed dif ferent conditions and as a further in ducement offered to let the northern section of the United States put up three dollars to every one put up by Southern bankers with the understand , ing that the northern banks would have a prior lien for their money. Under this tentative plan Southern banks would have actual management of the fund, the whole, however, uj be under supervision of the reserve board. Other conditions as to'interest 1 rate and price of cotton were said to be left unchanged. This counter-plan has not been pass ( ed upon finally but every opportunity i will be taken to expedite its considera ' tion so that the board may begin dis cussion of international problems with Sir George and Mr. Blackett. The cotton crop is of first import ance in these conferences because on it the United States has relied in p&st years to cancel the larger part of its foreign indebtedness. Sir George is known to hold that English manufacturers do not wish to buy cotton now \jnless they are satisfied it has reached the* bottom \ price. American manufacturers, ac cording to information available at the treasury department, apparently feel the same way and little cotton is being sold. With the $150,000,000 loan fund in operation it is argued that millions of bales, will be taken out of this market and a direct and stimulat ing effect will be felt both here and in England. With cotton moving as?iu across the Atlantic the indebtedness of the United States to England would be decreased rapidly and materially, and conditions here would improve in consequence. Manager Cheatham has arranged for special feature pictures for every night this week. Tonight "The Pearl of The Punjab," a -touching story of Gratitude and devotion in three parts, Thursday night, "The Million Dollar j Mystery," Friday night "One of Our Girls," a picture everyone will like, and Saturday night, "European Ar mies in Action," in three parts.
