Urges Huge Cotton Fund In Federal Relief Plan
Representative Henry of Texas telegraphed Joseph Hurst of Corpus Christi after a talk with Commissioner Harding that the Federal Reserve Board weighs a cotton relief proposal. It involves issuing 500 million dollars in Federal Reserve notes for deposit in the treasury near Southern reserve banks. Henry says the board should advise member banks to loan the notes at 2 percent, while banks lend to cotton producers at 4 percent for six months. He emphasizes that interest is the key issue. He plans to press Secretary Lansing to press the government to keep cotton from being declared contraband by Great Britain.
