Roosevelt asks peace in CIO AFL war over cotton stocks
Airman Jesse Jones of the Reconstruction Finance Corp tells the Senate agriculture committee the government should not keep piling cotton held as security for loans. He suggests a portion could be released to the market at a reasonable price as needed. Jones declines to state the best method to move large stocks without depressing prices or to outline a program. The committee asked for comment on a plan to give farmers added subsidies rather than return cotton to the government as securer a loan. He notes potential price implications for 1939 allotments and loans.
