Now York. ?June 1.-American cot ton growers, manufacturers and af filiated interests, at their national conference yesterday, called upon tho F?deral govornment lo aid in tho r?habilitation of the cotton in dustry. The government was urged in resolution To authorize and grant a more lib eral expansion of credits on farm loans. To lower the Federal Reserve Hank rediscount rate without delay, to a figure not in excess of 5 per cent on the rediscounts of farm pro ducts and all commercial paper. To instruct the War Finance Cor port? lion and Department of Com merce to render ?ill possible aid In opening up exports for cotton and other American raw products, so as to stimulate tho movement and con sumption of such commodities as rapidly as possible. Restriction of credits and high rate of rediscount charged on farm loans, the resolution said, had ren dered it impossible for farmers to plant and cultivate a normal cotton crop in 1921, and indications were that the cotton acreage would he thc smallest planted in the past 2? years. * "The cotton growing industry and the entire agriculture of the nation." the resolution added, "are suffering from unspeakable losses in price val ues and stagnated markets in Amer ica, and restricted exports. Della I ion in farm values, which was so unexpectedly precipitated up on the country in August, 1!)20, found the cotton growers with their crops ready for harvest and without power to protect themselves from tho dcbaclo of constantly lowering prices. "The crop was produced at tho peak of high cost and Ibo growers found themselves facing bankruptcy values. From an expectancy of $2. 500,000,000 for tho cotton crop in Inly of li?2 0, when cultivation ceas ed, the growers of that crop sustain ed n loss of $1,500,000^000 net, pari ?f which was profit, hut represented n net loss deducted frojm the actual cost of production." lt is proposed to hav'.e the Gover nors of cotton-growing^ Stales ap point a commission lo ?work out a plan of co-operation in stabilizing cotton prices. President Harding's message to tile convention extending tho co-op eration of tile administration in im proving conditions in tile cotton in dustry was declared to be one of statesmanship and true American ism. A message was sent to tho i'res ident thanking him for ins interest. 'All departments of the industry were asked to "co-operate along sound and conservative business lines for the speedy enactment of those economic and elllcient reforms In the production, handling and mar keting and distribution of the cot ton crop which are essential to the future success of the industry." The American delegate to the world's cotton conference, to bo held in Liverpool and Manchester from .lune 12 to 23. were instructed lo urge the adoption of the Toiled States standard of cotton grades In the international marketing of Ame rican cotton between American ex porters and foreign purchasers of the staple.
