? 1 J MILLION BALES MAY BE MARKETED I Government Aid Sought in Making : Deal | Hugh W. Roberts in The State. Washington, March 30.?The war; finance corporation which has invited j Sor.thern bankers to a common con-j ference, April 4, is said to have in j mind the cooperative marketing by j government aid of a million bales of i cotton. j The details of the scheme are not i available. Representative Stevenson j of South Carolina, however, is more i hopeful at present than ev-?r before j that something approaching a solu- i tior. of the problem will be rcached. J After a consultation with Chair- j man Meyer of the war finance corporation today, Mr. Stevenson said: "While I am not at liberty to an- j nounce the plans contemplated, I am i very hopeful that the war finance cor poration will, in tne near uuure, a>-1 range for the exportation of a mil-, lion bales of cotton and thereby j greatly relieve the financial institutions which are n->w carrying the load. "The reappointment of Mr. Meyer as managing director, and the sympathetic attitude of the secretary of treasury, makes the outlook very; much more hopeful than heretofore."] r- ? ?
