Plan to Use Cotton to Stabilize Postwar Economy
Lamport, chairman of the Cotton Export Commission, outlined a plan to convert the 13 million bale cotton surplus into a 2.5 billion dollar textile stockpile. The plan envisions a commission of state, commerce, agriculture, and labor to process cotton into cloth, half made into garments, half stored for war and postwar needs. No new money would be required, with payments to manufacturers funding the conversion. Lamport plans to present the program in Washington to agriculture officials after a Augusta meeting.
