Cotton shipments to neutrals freed from most restrictions
Senator Hoke Smith announced after a War Trade Board conference that all limits on cotton shipments from the United States have been removed except to enemy nations and the northern European neutrals. He said exports should rise as India’s crop is limited, Japan seeks U S cotton, and stocks in the South exceed 509000 bales, prompting a push by Southern lawmakers to further ease export controls. The move aims to accelerate overseas distribution as allies gain access to cotton.
