' -F UR COTTON PRICE" MAY BE ANNOUNCED, j President. iWlson Says Steps Will be Taken if Deemed Necessary After Committee From War Industries Bourd Has Completed Inquiry?Purchases for Government Made During Investigation. * I Washington, Sept. 13.?President Wilson announced today that a fair price'for raw cotton would be fixed if that, should be deemed necessary! after the committee to be appointed by the war industries board has com-1 pleted its inquiry into the general cot-; ton situation. During the investigation a separate committee of three, soon to be named will buy cotton for the use of the United States government and the allies at prices to be approved by the president. Since most of the cotton of the country is required for war uses, this government buying is expected to stabilize prices. The president said that the purpose of the investigations to be conducted by the committee to be named by the war industries board is to devise methods for broadening the channells of distribution and use of the great stock of low grade cotton now prac tically unmarketable, for eliminating speculation and hoarding and apportioning foreign orders. The president's .Statement follows: "The.k demand for high grade cotton which is out. of proportion to the available supply and the fact that the government through early agreements WItP. 1.0^6 allies, iuus.i aci % UJUUIUVH buyer for allied purchases, make if. j necessary to secure some b^sis of dis_ : tribution of all grades of cotton. Based i on the standard grades established by j the department of agriculture an ef- ; fort will be made to provide a way by j which the low grade cotton will be j brought to sale and use along with j the high grade cotton at reasonable and just prices. ' | i Better Protection ' * "It is believed mat uy uus vuuisc both the producer and consumer will be better protected than ;by continuation of the present chaotoc conditions df the market. i "The plan is to create, subject to j the approval of the president, a cotj ton committee to devise methods for i fa\ Timadenins the channels of di3 {tribution and use of the great stock of i low grades now practically unmarket UBBBMnnHUBI j i ' mh ?M| MM #?V WrtM y fa 7#^ v W H I 8 % * f . ?- - ? n Columbia, a. i - * w THURSE In the Big Ste j . 40-HEAD I < 15 BRED All the blooc living Grand Ch greatest boars of Something for ev ! and boars.

"It may be part of this committee duty to recommend basic prices o cotton. If, after investigation, it "" found necessary a fair price will fc fixed. ' During this investigation and i order to avoid stagnation, a separat committee of three is being set up wit the authority to buy cotton for the us of the United States government an the allies, at prices to be approved b the president." Vigorous Opposition. The president's statement, it wa explained, was issued to avoid misir terpretation of statements by the wa industries board concerning the stat "ligation of the cotton industry. Pric S\:ng of cotton has been vigorousl onposed by senators from Souther States, who have had several confei ences with Chairman Baruch of th v-cwri.
