U. S. COTTON PLANTERS
DO NOT FAVOR POOL
Unofficial Plan Suggested in England
Liable to Hurt Prices.
WASHINGTON, July 23. Informal pro
posals that British Interests form a gi
gantic 'cotton "pool" to buy America's
cotton supply are not altogether satis
factory to American cotton growers, It
was learned today.
Southern Senators and Representatives
declared tho price and not tho purchaser
Is the vital point.
Fears were expressed that an English
pool would not pay enough, even If It
bought the bulk of tho American product.
State Department ofllclals'sald such nn
arrangement would havo to be directly
botween the private Interests Involved.
Tho Department was willing, however,
to assist In any negotiations.
Tho British proposal Is that the Gov
ernment set asldo 1"5,000,000 to buy Amer
ican cotton which. In pcaco times would
ordinarily havo gone to England's en
emies nnd neutrals, after which tho Brit
ish would put cotton on her contraband
list. It was not ofllclal, however.

"WASHINGTON, July a Tho United
