S, C, COTTON REMAINS UNDER EMBARGO Washington.?After President W'l son refused requests of congressional delegation from Southern cotton growing states to remove export embargo restrictions on cotton, they endeavored in the senate to add a rider to the billion dollar wheat guarantee j bill to repeal laws authorizing the embargo. The amendment, howeve \ was rejected, oG to 2.'b The president took the position in i which he was supported in the sen-1 ate discussion by Majority Leader; Lodge and others, that a change in j the embargo situation would violate] the armistice terms and that the status quo of the enemy countries must bo maintained until the peace treaty is signed. Senators from the Southern States, however, contended that the cm-j bargo seriously injures American ] trade in cotton and that the British embargo on cotton would maintain, the armistice conditions. The senate adopted, however, by a 1 viva voce vote an amendment pre- ] sontcd by Senator Smith of South Carolina prohibiting' the delivery on1 contracts of unmerchantable grades I o? cotton. To explaining the amend..> n?ent, Senator Smith said that owing1, to the practice of such grades being j delivered on contracts cotton exchanges had become gambling places.
