I k PLAN CONFERENCE ON MARKETING OF COTTON . Post Eellir.i Gathering Will Y Work for Elimination of Middlemen. )#* k . S I "I Ik lie vvc. that the army of useless pnias.'tes?speculators ami j nc'ddicmon who v he their toll from eve ry pound of cotton bought ami; s< <1?can be eliminated and that sound methods can he established I that will mean much to both the pioducer and the consumer." The above is an excerpt from a letter addressed by Col. E. J. Watson, commisioner of agriculture, to Rufus R. Wilson, see-' a ixtary of the National Association of Cotton Manufactures. Co). Watson, as president of the Southern Cotton Congress, has received a letter from Mi. Wilson, asking for in expression of opinion as to the advisiuhility of holding an inlt rnati< nal cotton conference immediately on the close of toe war. v Col. Watson heartily approved of .ft the suggestion ami in his lctier sets i ' out a number of reasons why such a meeting should he held. Col. Watson's letter follows: "Yours of June 4, addressed to mi as the head of the largest organisation of cotton growers and of merchants, bankers and business men interested in the welfare of raw cotton I i!) me country, nas neon recievoo. "Stninge to say, it came just at the time that I was saying to the! South Carolina Mfmufacturers' association that conditions as to raw tr- i. t< rial were such that the Southern . Cotton congress was already taking steps looking toward important action in the i.latter of stabilizing the ' prices of cotton. "1 agree most heart!iy with t'nc statements made in your resolutions and am convinced that such an international conference in cotton and its manufacturers can render a great service, effective, far-reaching and much to be desired. Touch cotton a.you will you cannot escape the necessity for consert of action upon an international basis. 1 shall be glad to. confc r with your committee or app< ini a committee to *h> so, and discuss fully the interests of the producers as they should appear in such an international conferc nee. I Time ;?? ripe. "The time has come, in my opinion, when producers and con: wmovs of the world's greatest annual nione,. crop should get ti-gcthcr and take ruch action by mutual agreement a:-, v.i!! forever break down and wipe cut the uneconomic system of marketing that has grow up at the cost of both the pi oducor and the consumer. I believe that the army of useless para sivi's?.-peculators arid middlemen who take their toll from every pound Oj cotton bought and sold?an army found on both side--, of the Atlantic, can bo eliminated, ai.d that sound methods can be established that wil' mean much to both the producer and T ci nsumer. "1 have had the opportunity to study at frist hand conditions in, the various Kuropean consuming conn- , tiies and I have talked with many1 Co re i gn m an u fac t u re.s. "In 1000 I found them ready t'? < enter into a plan to provide direct dealings between producer and spin- ] nor, and but for the panic of 1907 per| haps the yoke of the speculative in- r terests would have been thrown off ] then. "I have long wrestled with this'l ^ problem of getting raw cotton direct | from the producer to the consumer | f to their mutual advantage financially ( and 1 have no hesitancy in saying C that it can be done by co-operative!? effort. In an international confer- s ence in which we representing thcjfc producers principally would partici-|S pate this vita! question would havejo to be given prominence. ! a "In September, 1915, by request, I, t addressed an open letter to the Brit-j a ish government whose industries, so r largely depend upon cotton, were E suffering, and suggested ideas as to the stabilization of prices for the raw material. The subject was at once re T garded as one for the exercise of the wisest statesmanship, both on the "X pai*t of governments and planters and tl spinners. Lord Milner in his discus.
