Radford Urges Cotton Shipments To Neutral Sweden
State warehouse manager Peter Radford returns from North Texas after rallying farmers to ship cotton to a neutral port in Sweden. The plan envisions South states sending cargoes to Sweden, then expanding to others until at least 1,000,000 bales are shipped. A contract exists to sell at least one million bales at 20 cents a pound. If shipments fail, the plan faces changes but remains pursued.
