Store All New Western Auto Store New Management R. M. MAXWELL, Owner INTRODUCED COTTON QUOTA LEGISLATION On Saturday, I introduced on behalf of myself. Senator Eastland and 61 colleagues, a bill which we hope. will encourage the sale of cotton for export and at the same time limit imports of manufactur ed cotton products coming into this country. The purpose of this | legislation is to try to solve the many problems that today con front our cotton growing and tex tile manufacturing industries, up on which South Carolina is so dependent. It will be well for the 11 Senate to give thorough consider- ijation to this legislation during the | tall. At that time, cotton growers, ! textile manufacturers, and all in terested parties will be given an opportunity to present their views on this legislation, as we attempt to solve the problems of these two great industries. Hr The statement I made on the Senate floor upon introducing this bill follows: / ' The cotton Industry of the U. S. I from producer through manufac turer, is facing the most critical »riod in history. Our share of the world cotton export market has dropped from approximately 60 per cent to less than 30 per cent of the world total and is in "danger of being lost. Cotton acreage in this country [has been reduced from 22,224,000 acres on July 1, 1953 to 17096,100 acres on July 1, 1955. During this period we have attempted to ad- fjust supplies through use of do- mestic production controls, for- |eign production has expanded rap idly with a large part- of this ex pansion being American financed. A' further increase in foreign ac reage is planned for 1956. American producers stand alone in their sacrifices to bring the world supply of cotton into bal ance with demand, and It has not tljeen fully demonstrated that we bannot adjust world supplies by tailment of acreage in the ted States. Already, thousands farm families have been ser- 5ly affected. By reason of the as tic cut in cotton acreage in 55 alone, according to records of United States Department of culture, 55,000 cotton farm llies were put out of business and 130,000 additional farmers al ready making less than 61000 per year were reduced in income by more than |100. This deplorable situation is the direct result of our foreign agri cultural policy, which has Bailed to take note of the 'fact that this problem is of a world-wide na ture. The loss of our historical apd necessary foreign markets promises to be permanent, and unless corrective action is taken immediately, cotton farm incomes already among the lowest in the nation, will be pushed to new lows. .In addition, the world cot ton surplus is accumulating in the hands of the Commodity Credit Corporation. The present Cotton Export Ad visory Committee, appointed by the Secretary of Agriculture, has by overwhelming majority strong ly urged that U. S. cotton be of fered for sale in world markets. The Commodity Credit Corpora tion charter specifically authoriz es the sale of commodities owned by the corporation, or acquired for export purposes, in world trade at competitive prices. Further more, there is ample precedent for such action in the export pro grams of 193940 and 1944-45, and THE BAFFLES By Mahoney t f v v • BOSS-1 HATE TO SAY THIS, OUT IF I OONT GET A RAISE lU- HAVE TO RESIGN. WELL, ITS SEEN MCE knowing you. I GUESS YOU WILL JUST HAVE TO LEAVE, SAFFLE* fl Newberry Hold! Under New Management HARRY L. WHITE, Mgr. the fact that Commodity Credit Corporation is selling or has sold approximately nineteen other ag ricultural commodities for export on a competitive price basis. To cope with the problem of dwindling exports of U. S. cotton and to prevent further drastic cuts in U. S. cotton acreages which would be made necessary we do not re-establish and tain a fair share of the world er market for cotton, the De ment of Agriculture has attempting to develop an export sales program under which U. S. cotton may be sold competitively in the markets of the world. Any program to be effective end ben eficial to farmers must augftient the total available market and not f merely ’serve to displace outlets which would otherwise be avail’ able. The position of the domes tic mills as customers of the Am erican farmer Is already endang ered by the foreign trade policies and actions of the U. S. govern ment. This grave situation in it self calls for immediate correct ive action. There has been in effect for a number of years for raw cotton, as there has been for wheat, an import quota under Section 22 of the AAA to protect the higher" price paid to domestic farmers. But, unlike flour, there has been; no corresponding quota on cotton textiles. Therefore, If U. S. cottonj is sold in the world market at prices below those paid by domes tic mills, it would he certain to result in increased imports of cot ton textiles not only displacing cotton which farmers would other wise sell to domestic mills, hut also destroying the ability of the domestic mills to remain in busi ness and continue to serve as the principal outlet for U. S. cotton. Adequate cotton acreage is es sential for a healthy agricultural America, and vital to our cotton- economy mills and producers. If farmers are to have the op portunity to maintain their fair share of the world market With out destroying their market home, it is essential that there established coordinated Such a program would assure cot ton sales in the world market at competitive prices and provide a textile import quota under sec tion 22 which would permit for eign exporters of cotton textiles a fair share of the domestic mar ket on an historical basis and at the same time prevent the exces sive textile imports which would result if foreign mills were to be given lower priced cotton than American mills. This bill directs the / adoption of such on aver-all coordinated program. A program of this nature is essential if we are to prevent complete disruption of the econ omy of the cotton producing and manufacturing areas.
