AMERICAN COTTON ASSOCIA TION TO MEET IN NEW ORLEANS, LA. Special to the Monitor: Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 30. Several prominent speakers will be on the pro gram of the mass meeting of the American Cotton Association in New Orleans, Louisiana, September 8 and 9. A number of acceptances to invita tions have already been received by President J. Skottowe Wannamaker and others are certain. It is definitely announced addresses will be delivered by the following: Gov. Ruffin D. Pleasant of Louisiana; Hon. Martin Behrman, Mayor of New Orleans; Hon. John M. Parker of New Orleans, former United States Food Adminis trator; Col. W. B. Thompson, New Or leans; Hon. Harvie Jordan, Monticel- 10, Georgia; Hon. J. Thos. Heflin, Congressman from Alabama; Hon. Hoke Smith, United States Senator from Georgia. Hon. John Sharpe Williams of Mississippi announces that he will be among the speakers provided he is not detained in Wash ington on those dates because of tho sessions of Congress. Senator E. D. Smith of South Carolina has accepted tentatively to be governed largely by the status of legislative matters at the national capitol. Hon. P. P. Clax ton, of Washington, United States Commissioner of Education, is en deavoring to arrange his affairs so he can be among the speakers. The prin cipal address in behalf of the Ameri can Cotton Association will be deliver ed by Mr. Wannamaker. Southern governors who recently endorsed this meeting in a joint proc lamation which set forth the necessity of calling the conference to discuss general economic conditions and to recommend a minimum price for cot ton, have been requested to appoint delegates at large from their various states and also name delegates repre senting each of their counties. Heads of State Farmers Unions, agricultural departments, superintendents of edu cation, presidents of bankers associa tions, chairmen of State Chambers of Commerce, and other leading profes sional and business men have been requested to designate delegates in a similar manner. A large attendance is assured and it is announced that the New Orleans Committee on local arrangements is preparing for one of the largest meetings of this kind ever held in the South. The American Cotton Association, organized in the interest of the cotton producers and the general business in terests of the South, is declared to be meeting with gratifying results in its membership campaign. One of the purposes in calling the rJew Orleans meeting is to present its advantages to large numbers of representatives from all the cotton states and to study and discuss with them the unusual sit uation confronting the people at this time. After a careful analysis of pre vailing business conditions and possi bilities of the future, conservative methods will be outlined as to the best manner of procedure for the citizens of the South. Determination and recommendation of a minimum price at which cotton should be sold by the growers, to pre vent further losses, will be reached after the consideration of authentic data and receiving the advice of men of much business experience, both on the farm and in general commercial circles. Additional governors have signed the joint proclamation since the first announcement of this mass meeting and at this time the signatures of the following state chief executives are on the document: Governor Kilby of Al abama; Governor Brough of Arkan sas; Governor Catts of Florida; Gov ernor Dorsey of Georgia; Governor Bickett of North Carolina; Governor Cooper of South Carolina; Governor Pleasant of Louisiana; Governor Rob erts of Tennessee and Governor Hob. by of Texas.
