Washington, April 9.--Eugene Mey or, Jr., managing director of the war finance corporation, holds that it Southern bankers cocperate with the government in putting into effect the cotton export plan which ho devised, it will be possible to put 1,000,000 bales In Europe. The plan is very simply. The gov ernment undertakes -to lend money to banks, in approved cases, w-hen the banks .will underwrite the transpor tation of cotton to foreign nations. While the details are not known, it is surmised that the government will give the banks long time in which to make repayment to the government, so that the banks can give inipoverish ed European countries an opportunity to pay. In tho meantime, the farmer will have credit at the banks. One loan, as already relorted, amounting to $100,000, has -been ap proved. The scheme is not approved in its entirety by all the Southern bankers recently in conference with the war flnance corporation in Wash ington. But the majority, it is under stood, looked with favor on the gov einment's willingness to divide any risk with them for the benefit of the farmer. In this connection, it is the opinion of certain financiers of the W. P. G. H larding type that the scheme if gen erally sipon sored by bankers .would not only materily y aid the farmtwrs but the imn kc rs, thenmselves, and the rountr y. Mr. Aleyer, in talking with the hanlkerv, re-min ded tihem that ine. plight of the Soith was not and could not be sectional, but natiohal; that when the South's cotton was a drug on the market, the South colid not Lrade with other sections. And Mr. Harding informed the bankers that loans, on the basis of present prices, were safer than on the basis of high and necesarily fic .itious prices, and he urged them to nvest in European securities, and ,heck against them in advancing noney to the producers. At the same time, the bankers o he South are hard hit. They are car -ying all the cotton paper. And half ,he cotton produced is unsold. Robert P. Maddox, of Atlanta, informed Mr. deyers that the bankers were ca4rry ng the load -with difficulty, and that -olief was necessary because of the lrtainty that if they did carry the present crop, they could ikot carry the iexL While there was no disposition on - he ipart of any banker to use force, >r resort to law, in collecting the in lebtedness of the farmers, and Gov wrnor Harding spoke directly against mich policy, the idea was prevalent hat the farmer, 'by some personal neans, should be made to see the folly )f over-producton of one crop, that s, cotton. I. (. ihett of Charlestopi had this (lea in mind wvhen he stated frankly .hat a new-found market (luring this, ~he planting season, attended by an ncrease in the priice of cotton, would )o exceedingly hurtful to the South. Jnder such conditions, he deoclaredI, he farmer, nIow included to reduce his cereage, would redlouble it. lie uriged hat no relief be granted until after he new crop wvas in the ground. lHe declared it to be necessary to leal with. the farmer' pract ically in tsmnuch as the farmer could not be >ersmnded by mc re logic to r'educe his creage. ntertalnmnitt at WadI~sworth School T1here will be an entertainment at he Wadsworth school Friday evening, Lpril 15th, beginning at 8 o'clock.
