C, Editor Roxboro Courier: ' In your August 20th issue you publish by request of some one whs fat bitterly opposed to the co-ops an article by one Robert Morgan In Henry Ford's Dearborn Independent, seemingly for the purpose of poisoning-the minds of your tobacco growing patrons against co-op selling of their tobacco. Whether the motive is ulterior or merely serving a higher up we cam not say, as requested does not give his identity. To analyze the force of astatement you must know the motive of the one making, auefi .tut?? Now request endorses this articb by Morgan by his request, also the view* of Henry Ford as to what Southern farmers should receive for their products, and his animosity towanb the Jews. Now; who ever heard of Robert Morgan until Henry Ford probably hired him, at probably a better salary than a majority of the Co-op employees are getting, to lambast the Jews, Mr. Sapiro in particular, because he is becoming prominent ha his great work for the upbuilding of the agriculture of the country. Whsit seems to be worrying Morgan and Ford is that the farmers are willing to pay Mr. Sapiro a fair compesathm for his work. His rant about Sapiro? controlling all co-op organizations is pure rot as they are controlled in all cases by the directors elected by the members, who rarely ever have a. Jew among them. His diatribe about the Gentile fronts is merely insinuations of a very low order. .He admits his statements about the cost of the warehouses in the dark belt are not complete, and is very careful to omit saying that these same warehouses , when paid for will belong to the Dark Tobacco growers and not to the sue- , tion warehousemen, as the expensive one basli-.iq ] tb? ujpeige town of Requester recently does and fiaid for by . _ J the tobacco growers of Person and adjoining counties. .? Morgan's whole communication after careful analysis seems a tissue of insinuations against the conduct and actions of the officers and employees of the Dark Tobacco Pool, and considering the animus inspiring them they fall flat on their own misrepresentaions. The great mail order house of Sears, Roebuck & Co. has created a research fund for the benefit of agriculture and they have a speaker canvassing the country, endorsing the plan of selling crops by o-opgrtaion. ; I a t:_ ?t- -1 1 - !1 _?1 1. ? * rt >vjiujCB?u- iiinii uiuc nuuac ul Baltimore has given $2000.00 for research to check the ravages of the boll weevil; What is reported to be the reply of Henry Ford when asked to contribute to this boll, weevil fund: I contribute to nothing, I bate no in* terest in the cotton farmers, don't care if I never sell another fliver south of Mason and Dixon line. But is spending his money lavishly and foolishly persecuting the Jews, which is just as big a farce as his Peace expedition was. Now, I said foolishly and I can prove it by just calling Requesters attention to two admissions in this same article by Morgan. First, he admitted the dark pooled tobacco was sold at the top price of 13 cents. Second, the co-ops are holding quantities of tobacco to the benefit of the outside grower. Now, this is clearly shdmitting that the co-ops have done what they- claim to do, raise the rice of tobacco both to the member and outsider. Now Morgan' says the dark tobacco co-ops sold 1-45000 lbs. dark tobacco out of a crop of 175000 lbs. at the top price of 13 cents and held 30000 lbs, to the benefit of the non-member. There is nodoubt this 145000 lbs. at the top price of 13 cents brought much more than the 175000 lbs: would have sold for if (lumped on the market in 3 o^ 4' months and the price forced down to less than Half of IS tents. By these? admissions Morgan kills the force of his entirearticle. TK*r Requester think the officers of our own Bright Beit Association are rascals T It seems so as he endorses Morgan's statements.
