Morgan, president of the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company, (j and the Southern Cotton Oil Coin- 0 puny, in a press interview, shows ^ that the cotton plant is a tremendous r food producer, and gives substantial ~ reasons as to why the farmers of the s South should make it their principal j crop. Mr. Morgan was led to come out publicly against the proposed curtail- f mcnt of the cotton crop by the ap- t parent support given this idea by a President Wiison himself. In his ad? ii dress to the American people, the President expressed the hope that the E>r>utn wouia piancc pjenxy 01 iooa- . stuffy along with cotton, but warned 0 Southern farmers against succumb- i ir.g to the temptation of present high crtton prices and allowing the plant- t ing of the staple to curtail the raising of Tood crops. I "The boll weevil and the scarcity of labor in the South," said Mr Mor- 0 jgan, "will accomplish naturally all L the. curtailment in the cotton crop < that the country can stand. To urge a further curtailment is to invite the y gravest danger, because cocton is es MiTtinl i'o.r both clothing and fo. food. "it goes without saying that ar.\ good "farmer ought, as early as possPrAe, to raise on Mr* farm what he consumes, but in a gieat many inEfcacK.es this is not practicable or possible. In m.y opinion, the serious cur taiiment of the cotton crop of th? flouth would be a calamity from the standpoint of its food producing value alone.

The _ i t ? * - - warning aeciares tnat while the military and political situation undoubtedly justifies confidence a greater reserve is advisable. The policy of the government is to make no announcement or comment upon the destruction of a German submarine by the steamer Mongolia., at this time. The weekly statement of vessels sunk as made public shows that 40 vessels of over 1,000 tons each were sent to the bottom by mines or submarines last week. Speaker Clark opposed the selective draft and predicted it never would i pass congress. Dispatches from Petrograd report that the revolutionary spirit is manifesting itself in the rural districts of Russia, bringing the long standing agrarian troubles to a head. Peasants' conferences to which delegates arc sent from even the smallest communes, are being organized in every province of Russia to discuss peasant needs. Those alread> held have insisted on a proper distribution of land.

An official statement regarding the minister's communication few* given out here today showing thatlie told the committee the success of the submarines continued to be great and their losses small. ^ Reports already at hand showed that a favorable result could bp expected for the month of April. The reduction of tonnage at the disposal of hostile nations, he said, was taking place with mathematical certainty, thereby increasing the lack of foodstuffs. The minister continued: "Notwithstanding the sharp Ansorship in Entente countries, ^Wficicnt news has reached us to show that the U-boats have hit a vital ^ nerve of England, and through hor, of her allies. The (London) Morning Post of April says the number of English boats really sunk has b en kept secret, but that the scales are inclining towaid Germany and that this gain probably will increase in mathematical progression.
