Plan for Federal Credit on Cotton Crop Proposed by Senator Smith
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia proposed a plan to grant federal credit for cotton stored in warehouses to southern farmers facing the European war impact. The plan would divert up to 65 percent of emergency currency to the South, with warehouse receipts backed notes to cotton owners. It aims to aid Georgia with about 25 million dollars and help southern states cover at least one million bales. A second measure would adjust treasury and agriculture department rules. Germany is not a major cotton consumer, with consular reports noting that much cotton imported into Bremen moves to other German cities.
