Two Readers Two Developments on Cotton and National Guard
The Constitution presents two communications by J T Holleman and C J Haden on the cotton crisis and diversification for 1915. Holleman argues for reduced cotton and stronger diversification while Haden offers an optimistic view with evidence of cattle growth and mass support from bankers and merchants. The National Guard reorganization plan gains broad support in Congress, aiming for a uniform, expandable force that can augment the regular army without disrupting civilian life.
