HARRIS defends cotton position (Continued From Page 1.) straight. For a long time some of' us had been pounding it into the pecple.that this was their vfight and tha? cotton was worth far more thai they were getting for it. We were! ' 'laughed at. " But cotton kept climb-( ing.' I told farmers in January 1 > j buy cotton if the speculators though' j it was'so'cheap. My prediction waisj "based upon facts and the law of sup-1 plyand demand and in May cotton i realised all that I had said it would do. Again in July it went to the figjj| ure that" I had predicted. $6.. far, everything was run nin; ; j^v smobthily. recording to the law of stipplyj^nd demand. Then, that lawwas broken. An insidious whispe started through the South that th^ federal, reserve bank had directed the % member, banks to call cotton loans. I challenged such a statement. I | asked Mr. Harding by wire if he were a party to such an iniquitious pre- j ceeding. He denied it in a message' which some saw fit to construe as j having a double meaning. I took ; ' Mr. Harding at his word. Up to then r , I was no false prophet. The law of supply and demand was so clear that . it seemed to me a child could under- 1 P. stand that cotton, intrinsically, war- i worth 50 cents. The cotton goods that we were buying in garments would have represented a profit to the makers if the raw material had ! cost a dollar a pound. The deflation which has been a giant among cot-1 ton producers has been but a pigmy in trade, for cotton goods have fal-, r. - len off but 20 per cent, we are teld.; Supply Runninrj Lew. The carry ever of spinnable cotton from the last crop was but 2,850,* 000 bales although the statisticians of the speculators put it down at something like six million bales. This includes a lot of 1 inters in Charleston and elsewhere, dirty filthy stuff, fit for nothing but making explosives and colleetc-d by the govern 1 O HAVE UNEARTHED BASEBALL player on charges of "Complicity ir a conspiracy to 'fix' the 1919 worlc series."

Then the present crop i* small, the sixth small crop in succession. Adding these two factors, the small carry-over and the small crop, we have a supply inadequate tc meet demands. I have said for three years that there is a cotton famine. There is not enough cotton in the world today to last the spinners whe have been living a hand to mouth existence instead of laying in large suprvlips of notton. Now, having saown the inadequacy of the supply, I will touch briefly on the demand. When I was telling the farmers back yonder in July thai their cotton was worth intrinsically mere than they were offered, I calculated upon several factors. The principal one of these was the restoration of the cotton mills in that part ol France and Belgium that had beer war ridden, and the resumption o1 the trade in Germany. And the buy ir.g capacity of the world has increased. While there has been anything but a normal condition in Europe yet the purchasing power of most ci the countries has increased in inr course of a year. The bal.m?:c oJ trade, so largely in our favor last year, shews that Europ* is sending us ir.iports in great volume. Upon the law of supply and do mand the price of cotton should have been more than 50 cents for the pros er.t crop. That lav/ has been sui peftded arbitrarily and immorally bj somebody, somewhcrcs. But it i: none the less a law of common ccr.rc ovri r.f fur-t. ;,r,(! it. will air a iii come ir. to. action. What I dread is that tm farmers may be forced to sell the:: cotton under abnormal conditions and the speculators will be the one* to benefit when the normal is restored, as it certainly must be and wil be. Coiton Still Valuable. I r:ay again thai the intrinsic value ix cotton is more than 50 cents today. The mills claim that they have no buyers for goods. They know full we/11 that if thin matter of pricc were settled, .there would be plentj " ' ?T ~ " nm 01 (lemaiiU. I "etui y i uuu mkiv vv.. mills are so prosperous.

But whj rot all cooperate to ree that the farmer gets his share? - Some seen to ridicule the desire of the farmers / to make money and to become independent and to educae their childre: and to have some of the comforts oi life in their homes.

No, I was not among the false prophets, and anyway, I would rath er be so regarded than to be a falsi friend.
