. SEPARATE PEACE
.CAUSES SLOGAN|
Republican* Will Support Cox At
Result of Harding's Recent Declaration.
New Yorn, Oct. 9.?George White,
chairman of the Democratic national
committee today announced a new
slogan adopted by supporters of the
league of nations idea for the remainder
of the campaign.
It is, "No separate peace with Ger- ,
many."
This rallying cry, Mr. White said, ]
"is echoed in the hearts of all who i
favor the league. We have written it| <
indelibly upon our purpose here at' <
national headquarters. j 1
"The speech of Senator Harding at 11
?>es Moines verifies the proposal in J
his speech of acceptance and his vote
on the Knox resolution in favor of a
separate peace with Germany.
"In the name of dead and living <
soldiers, sailors and marines, who de- t
livered the finishing thrust to the Ger- I
man army and in the name of the men I
t-nd women who labored here at homej I
to support them,' the Democratic par- c
ty resents their shameful proposal, c
which canarise only from a desire tojx
truckle to the sentiments of those ]s
who sympathised with .the kaiser dur-l]
ing the war.
"We are for the treaty of Versail-j*
les, which includes the covenant of
the league of nations, and the Republicans
are committed to a separate
peace, deserting our allies and per- i
nsitting the Germans to escape all the <
obligations which defeat laid upon !
them. i 1
* "In the next three weeks, you wiU( <
see this country realise the obloquy'*
of such a stand by the party of Lin-J.
coin, McKinley and Roosevelt. The j 1
first Republican to resent it publicly, 11
I learn, is Herbert Parsons, formerji
New York congressman and former, i
Republican rational committeeman']
from the Empire state. He has de-jj
cided to support the league by the :
only practical means. This does cred-ji
it to his patriotism and convictions, i
We welcome him, fighting with us for,
a cause beyond partisanship. There
will be many more."

ORIGINAL WILSON MAN '
DECLARES FOR HARDING
New ork, Oct. 7.?Eugene Outerbridge,
president of the New York
Chamber of Commerce, one of the
oringinal group of five who picked
Wilson for president in 1912 and
supported him heartily, both in that
year and in 1916, declared for
Harding and Coolidge today.
"I was one of those misguided independent
Democrats who eagerly
supported President Wilson in
1912," he wrote. "I was mistaken in
jelieving that he could lead the party
to achieve high and beneficial results.
It appears to me that no sadier
wreck of possibilites than this
las ever occurred during my lifetime."

FORTY CENTS COTTON
BEING DISCUSSED
Governor Harding Of Federal Reserve
Board at Birmingham.
Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 9.?W. P.
G. Harding, president of the board
of governors of the federal reserve
bank, with D. C. Wells, newly appointed
member of the board, met
here today with the directorate of
the Atlanta branch and discussed
the movement to hold cotton for 40
cents a pound, which has been sponsored
by the American Cotton asso
ciation.
L. B. Jackson, director of the
Georgia bureau of markets, who
said he was speaking for 90 per cent
of the banks in his own state, made
a plea before the board for a more
liberal extension of credit to Southern
planters, claiming they need
the money to pay off debts incurred
while producing the present cotton
crop.
Mr. Jackson asked that members (
of the federal reserve system be allowed
to discount notes for money
which, he said, is to be used in pay
ment ot wages, iercinzer anu sup-1
ply bills. He said the loans would extend
for only a few days nad would
not materially affect the reserve of
the federal system. He also declared
that a great majority of planters
were not seeking money simply to
finance themselves while they were
holding cotton off the market. They
are hard pressed by creditors, he
said, and must have cash at once
with which to meet obligations incurred
this summer.
For Export Corporation
Governor Harding announced tonight
that Birmingham is to have
a sub-treasury of the United States
immediately in the sense that the
local branch of the federal reserve
bank will perform the functions of
a snh-treasurv.
Championing the Export Cotton
association idea tonight, Governor
Harding declared that he had been
informed by the commercial agent
of the German government now in
the United States, that Germany |
alone i? in need of 2,000,000 bales j
of cotton; that the Germans have j
the mills with which to spin the cot- j
ton and workmen to operate the:
mills, but that their money is s.> de-[
preciated that they can not pay for
the cotton they needin money. j
"Under a well organized cotton
export organization," Governor
Hading stated, "we could ship our'
raw cotton to Germany under an!
adequate guarantee by the German'
I
banks and the German government, j
The cotton would be manufactured
into cloth and the manufactured!
product disposed of to nations whose;
currency has not depreciated, ( and |
in the end the Germans could pay
us for our cotton in good American'
dollars.
"This system would have to ex-!
tend over a period of nine months
tio allow for the shipment of the cot
ton to Europe, its manufacture ano
the sale of the finished product.
( ;
To Stimulate Situation
"In my opinion, the first 10,000 j
bales of cotton shipped abroad un-j
der this system and with this guar-j
an tee would have an instantaneous
effect in stimulating the entire cotton
situation. To my mind, it is the
greatest opportunity in the South
today.
"It is up to the South to do this
thing for itself and with ite own
money. The North can not do it for
the South. The North has money,
but it likewise has use for all the
money in its possession. It is the
duty and the opportunity of the
?M>UDnerner5 to qu tins iui mciuselves."
Matters transacted by the directors
of the federal reserve bank of
Atlanta in their meeting here today
were:
The question of changing the basfe
rate of 6 per cent, with progressive
features to a flat rate of 7 per cent,
and referred to a committee. Thia
committee will report after a meeting
of ail the governors of the federal
reserve banks to be held with
* * ' J ? U ?vw. XV o oVn ri crtnn
me ooaru iiicmwis in ..
at an early date.
The matter of making provision
for credit to the farmer to enable
the liquidation of debt for fertilizers
. and the like was also referred to a
) a committee to report later. This
question was presented by L. B.
Jackson of the Georgia state bu!
reau of markets.

COTTON CROP IS LATER
THAN USUAL THIS YEAR
Columbia, Oct. 9.?The cotton crop
in South Carolina is later this year i
than for ten years, according to the \
government ginnings report received t
in full by cotton men in Columbia i
Wednesday. Cotton ginned up to Sep- 3
tember 25, this year in South Caro- J
lina totaled only 171,000 bales, as i
compared with 331,000 last year. The I
next smallest total for this time of!
the year in past years was in 1913, when
the ginnings reported up to g?
September 25 totaled 193,000. The j
next lowest to that was in 1912, when |
the ginnings reached 174,000 bales. ]
While the crop is late in South Car- j
olina, it is ahead of last year for the j
entire cotton belt, the total for thej|j
belt in this week's government report jj
showing 2,243,000, and for last year jj
1,835,000. ,
Columbia cotton men attribute the jj
lateness of marketing the crop to the jj
fact that the crop itself is late. How- ||
ever, it is stated that the cotton seed jj!
oil mills of South Carolina are buy- jj
ing far less than they bought up to ||
this time last year. According to ^
prominent crushers today the total ~
amount of cotton seed crushed up to jj
this week this season is about 17,000 i

last year. It is also stated that the
cotton seed oil mills have this year
bought only about half the amount
of cotton bought last year. The cotton
bought to this time last year totaled
49,447 bales.
