QOL Look for the Big Yell AMERICA HAS NOT JOINED ECONOMIC ALLIANCE INr Does Washington Encourage Such An Alliance at This Time Against Germany-Its One Aim Is to Win the War First and Consider Post War Questions Later Washington, July 15. - Despite press association reports from London giving'Lord Robert Cecil, British un der seeretary of state for foreign af-' fairs and minister of blockade, as au thority for the statement that the twenty-four allied nations have form ed an economic alliance against G er many, effective after the wvar, thee United States has not joined such an tlliance. In fact, officials sa ya car4d:l read ing of Lord Cecil's speech shows that te did not say there wvas such an alih ance. "I hope the time is not far off, Lord Cecil said, in concluding his sp~eech1, "when we shall meet around the council board to discuss in dletail the economic association wvhich will ~ombine the resources of the civilized ~vorjd in the joint work of reconstruc ion, though the United States, it wvas explainedl, wast not favorably im >ressedl by the conference of Paris, wvhose decisions seemd to Amrican au- 1 h~rities to be breeding places for j ontinued inte-national friction. "We are not now interested in con litions subsequent to the conclusion of' he war," is the statement of tho war1 rade board, within whose scope any ~conomiic alliance would fall. "All we tre interested in nos is the winning >f this wvar."

They ad vanced from three to four kilometres (betwvee ntwvo andi twvo and one-half rniles) in three hours. An American -ounter attack executed a brilliant urning movement westward, diriving ~he enemy back to the railway line mIly a few milles south of the Marne. The most dlesperate fighting con inues. The Amernicans arne pr~essing ~he enemy towardI the river, while heir artillery is concentrating is fire ml smashing the pontoons wvhich the memy is continually attempting to eplenish. In their counter attack the Ameri ans capturedl a German major, two ap~tains, several lieutenants and near y 500 men. At the same time they eleased Americans who had bieen cap ured in the earlier stages of the ighting and wvho had not been sent to he read.

Manninq, S. C a conservative element in both fac tions upon a program for building a system of finance based upon cotton which would forever render our sec tion rich and independent. I have given ten years of my life and s)ent much of my means in spreading the propaganda. Its fruits are visible on every hand, but I de spair of ever making faction-ridden South Carolina a leader in a great movement of this kind and shall make no further attempt to do so. Let me state the proposition clearly. Section 13 of the federal reserve act provides not only for the dIiscount of notes securedl by receipts for actual ctoonstorage, but also for is eontsint ecurit ies, wihere the money etrinothe product ion of the crop. T1his means that nt note securedl by rent or a cropi mortgage can be dis counted at the federal reserve bank. It is (done now but not for farmers fewv of them knowing these fatcts. All that we need is the mach inery, and it can be pirovided more easily, than the present system 'vhich I presentedl to th reserve bot rd after the failure of the Wade plan. The warehouse is merely a funda. mental incident in a system of fi nance. The real basis is the conversioni of all securities which represent cot ton either made or to be madec into fluid assets that will pass current in the money markets. When vou do this the marketing quest ion will log ically solve itself, and it can never be solved excep)t by the firm establish. ment of a system (of credit basedl up on cotton, wh'ere the pound of cotton is the unit andl as goodl in one man's hands as ini another. T1his will never be done by 'volun-. tary organizations, as it can only come through the government~ and to secure that piolitical control is tec essar~y. Ilowever, as the people are more in.. terested in other matters, I see no reason for dIragging nmysel f around the state in a vain effort to help peo.. ple who do not wish to be helped, Be ing the sidleshowv to a third-clasa Country circus does5 not appeal to me.
