{ fiLAMES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT W&nnaraaker Says Government Is Re sponsible for Mattox's Death. . J. Skottowe Wanuamaker, presi. dent of the American Cotton Association in resnonse to .1 telegram from I tha Atlanta nnnnlltntlim n air I n if tli? T effect of the suicide of R. W. Mattox, president of the Georgia div.alon ol the association ha* wired net paper as follows: The death of R. W. Mattox. president of the Georgia division is a shock to entire association and deeply deplored. His suicide was caused from untold worry and distress as a result of abnormal conditions in one of the saddest instances following fearful ^ conditions brought up as a result of O . the removal of the Finance Corporat'on throttled exports, stagnat. ~/' ed commerce and paralyzed agriculture. The agricultural producers were persistently urged to increase producv tion, it being stated therr would be enormous increased demand for ag' ricultural products both at home and abroad; that we were on the eve of intense commercial activity and a new civilization following the world war. In a convention nttended by 3,000 delegates representing agricultural and commercial lines in 31 leading agri cultural states held in September 1019, a petition was forwarded to the president of the United States urging the appointment of a credit board for the handling of exports of American ivrricultural products to Europe, sjm. 5i|\r to the board which has been suc' i-ssfullv operating in England since Wade *** ;4. We were assured that the EinBertha of R. corp0ration would fulfill -all reitors to DiUo. mentp. ,hnt it Was created aftei 'essation of hostilities and would V?. . /"tion nnP "ear aTter thp ratificaut Jf ' iKn Of the peace treaty, town. was due to this assurance and 'the continued requests for increased 'production that agricultural prod ; -eis felt that they were absolutely SSfr ^ \V V in redoubling their efforts to injjt?" \tagW/,s" production: That it was not "C^e?e<rson^W^v a safe, sound business proposi Vjj out a patriotic duty to do so. Afs r crops wore planted in tho spring of 1921, the War Finance Corporation was removed by order of the sec retary of treasury. ' Realizing the fearful penalties that wore being imposed upon agriculture and commerce not only nationwide but worldwide we have been concerntrating every effort in our power tc have the War Finance corporation re-established and other remedial legislation passed. I took the position that the removal of the Finance Corporation was in direct conflict with the policy of congress; that it would result in throttling exports, stagnating commerce and paralizing agriculture and that as a result of this it would hrinp such distressing conditions that it would promote suicide insanity, bankruptcy and would bring suffering to millions of innocent- neo pie. It was due to the fact that w? ^ were convinced that this result would ^ follow that we have spent untold efy fort and fniances for purpose of sc M x curing: relief, of no avail. This proV diction was again made by me in a conference of representatives from ^ every line of agriculture in every ag ricultural state of the union held with the secretary of treasury in ear ly part of the present fall in a desperate effort to induce him to reinstate 'he War Finance Corporation. This statement is being startlingl> verified today. Millions will starve and freeze to death in Europe foi want of our products. "Millions arc suffering in America on account oi our inability to market these prod uc(s, which we were urged to produce into Europe.
