Federal role in cotton export insurance debated
The piece notes that money could not reach cotton growers oppressed by buyers, yet insuring six cent cotton after it left growers was easy. A. J. Peters, assistant secretary of the treasury, described as a New England Democrat who once served Boston in the U.S. House. Shipboard cotton carried a $70 bale insurance, while field producers faced only a $30 to $40 temporary loan from the administration, whose agents valued bales at 60 to 70 dollars each.
