COMMENTS
ON
MEN AND THINGS
By SPECTATOR . . .
Where are the trains? How
often I have ridden from Sum
ter to Columbia on the Coast
Line; and from Sumter to
Augusta!
Where is the train from Char
leston to Augusta 0 It was the
offshoot of the oldest railroad
in South Carolina: it ran from
Charleston t Hamburg, this
side of the Savannah River
Irom Augusta, Georgia. It
ran at first from Charleston
to Branchville, then later had
a train from Branchville to
Augusta and the big train
from Charleston to Columbia
and then on to Cincinnati, the
Carolina Special 1 ! Alas, no
more!
All over the nation the
trains are being taken oil.
Well, let’s get to something
right here at home. We used
to have cotton everywhere.
Before that we had rice m
our state. Now we must
watch our step; we must ad
just ourselves to changed con
ditions.
For mills making the
switch for part of their out
put — and some insist they
aren’t — the poorer grades of
yarn mean more difficulties
in weaving, a broad spectrum
of textile products I he long-
staple cottons, as tin' a.rig 1 !'
varities arc known are less
likely to b:\ak on die loom,
according to industry special
ists.
More important to the ulti
mate consumer, any fabrics
made from shorter-staple
cottons arc more apt to tear
than textiles made from the
longer, premium lengths,
says Konald K. Evans, a vice
president of Riegel Textile
Corp. J. B. Goldberg, a textile
industry consultant, noted al
so that the ‘results aren’t
quite as attractive’ because
materials made from shorter
fibers lack the smoothness,
evenness and luster of long-
staple goods.
Help, though, is on the
way. The Department of
Agriculture has slated incen
tives for this year’s crop to
boost output of the wanted
long - staple varieties. Some
industry officials predict the
tight stipplv situation may he
ea-i'd by year-end
That shortage began de
veloping about two years ago.
It was then that Federal
farm planners, fretting about
the raw cotton carryover
that hit a record 17 million
hales ol 5(1 n pounds each in
Government and private
hands nn Aug. 1. 1966, rejig-
gered the crop diversion pro-
gram to restrict output.
The results exceeded ex
pectations. Production slump
ed in 1966 to 9.5 million hales
from 149 million the year
before. Last year, with a
major assist from the wea
ther and the boll weevil, out
put slumped still further to a
scant 7.6 billion bales, the
lowest since 1895.
For both years, the U. S.
was using and exporting
more cotton than it produced.
As a result, that ‘worrisome’
carryover shrank from the Au
gust 1966 record of 17 million
hales to 12 2 million hales in
August 1967. By next August,
according to Government
forecast, it will be cut in half
to about 6.7 million bales, less
than U. S. mills consume in
nine months’ time.
The shriveling of the sur
plus has been ever more dra
matic at Commodity Credit
Corp., the Government’s
board-keeper. From an Au
gust 1966 high of 12.2 million
bales, the supply owned by
the agency slimmed to 5.7
million bales last August and
only some one million bales
by early February. . . ”

THE GOLD ALARM
The news has been tilled with [
a'-counts ol the serious deple
tion ot our gold reserves. By
law, every dollar bill issued by
th:* Federal Reserve system
ma-t he hacked by 25 cent- in
gald Foreign Ranking systems |
e ui trade in the dollars th(\\
b.obl loi gold. hu‘ since 1934
r.S. eituens cannot. For the
jn-t three years, and more,!
many loreign banks have been j
r;sistcutl> demanding gold fori
Hie dollars they hold.
A- long as the international
ma irta-v system is in good j
shape, gold is not necessary lot

selves at a disadvantage. Dot- i

in a return; whereas gold can
not he invested, and costs i
monev to transfer and store.
SPEC ELATION
I’ll" explanation of the dc- j
m md foi gold is speculation— |
hut not speculation of the ordi- ;
nary kind. These nations are |
laying a grim wager. They are
betting that the United States I
will mismanage its economic :
affairs, bringing about the ulti- 1
mate decline of the dollar.
Clearly, if they win, we lose
These speculators Hncl much
to encourage them In their
deadly game. The United States
is headed for trouble, with few
of those responsible for our
economic health paying atten
tlon to our course. The Ad
ministration’s request to re
move the gold cover is a ease
In point.
Removing the gold cover is
only a short-term answer to a
pressing problem. By law, the
Fcdkra) Reserve must maintain
a 2fyv^ercent gold reserve. We
have always had enough gold
on hand so that this restriction
never came into effect The
margin of free gold available
to meet foreign demand is to
day only $1.3 billion—but even
half of that will be used up
by domestic needs and cur
rency expansion. At the current
rate of demand, this narrow
margin could be used up in a
few months.
THE DILEMMA
Those who have argued for
the removal of the gold cover
have said that we are on the
horns of an uncomfortable di
lemma. If we were to
[lend gold payments, 11k v
a world-wide monetary <-
would ensue. (hi the other hat
the machinery ol the Fodt i
Reserve Act provides b,r ,i
tinning payments to in et na
eign demands, even below lb
gold covei minimum, hut w
an emergency tax upon lb
Federal Reserve system. Th
effect of the emergency el .u
would ho to raise the diseoui
i ate tor loans, and dopi o- t!,
domes t ic economy.
Removal of the gold co\»
also means the removal i
emergency mechanism. Like

Unless stringent measures ar

is a dangerous action.
