Cotton valorization plan halted by congressional subcommittee
Washington reports that a Congressional subcommittee killed any attempt to implement a cotton valorization scheme. Treasury Secretary McAdoo promised department support as needed, noting emergency currency safeguards and Federal Reserve loan rules could help farmers hold out. Senator Ransdell said banks could lend about half the cotton value, enabling storage and insurance, with local cooperation to build facilities if needed. The President backs cotton belt interests and plans to shield producers until market conditions improve. Ransdell will devote time to cotton protection details in Senate.
