Reciprocal Trade Treaties to Cut Cotton Carryover
A White House conference shaped a plan to reduce a large cotton surplus. Officials settled on a 12 000 000 bale quota for the year under the Bankhead act while exploring reciprocal trade moves and delaying a Germany barter deal. Carryover certificates would replace unused 1940s tax exemptions without increasing production. Official quota details will be announced soon to give farmers notice.
