COTTON OUTLOOK SHOWS
SOME BRIGHTNESS NOW
LtV
in.
f, A report issued by the Chamber
lif^Commerce of the United States
jrtjently gives a little promise to
cotton producers. Two leading ag
ricultural products — cotton and
wheat—it says, scored notable ex
port gains in the first quarter of
1932 running sharply counter, to
| the general trend of American ex
port trade in that period.
S “American cotton in the first
quarter of the year,”, an analysis
taade by the Chamber shows, “was
exported in large quantities1 to
nearly all of the principal textile
manufacturing countries, particu
larly to Japan, China, and India.
In the quarter, cotton exports
amounted to more than a billion
and a half pounds, valued at $109,
839,000. This large quantity was
t7®fier cent greater than cottoh ex
fp.^ts a year ago, and was 38 per
Bent above the 1927-31 average.
P'he value was 19 per cent higher
Jaian in the first quarter of 1931.
“Short Indian and Chinese cot
ton crops, together with the low
rice accounted in large measure
for the heavy purchasing of Amer
ican cotton, particularly by Far
[Eastern countries.”
Cotton cloth, duck and tire fabric
’exports increased 8 per cent over
the first quarter of 1931.

Ihe Navy Cnder Woodrow Wil

and Progressive Minded, Seeks
to Serve Nation's Highest Inter
ests.
(The New York Times)
the rise of Franklin D. Roose
velt to national prominence has
been compaintivcly slow but steady.
He first appeared on the national
political stage as Assistant Secre
tary of the Navy in the administra
tion of Woodrow Wilson. In 1920
i be was the Vice Presidential nom
inee of the Democratic party when
lames M. Cox of Ohio headed the
i ticket, which was defeated under
I the avalSncht of votes that swept
Warren G. Harding into the White
House. After that Mr. Roosevelt
i retired temporarily because of seri
| ous illness, to emerge again as
| Governor of New York.
1 In his present position he has
j been almost from the beginning,
! in the forefront of possible candi
1 dates for the Democratic nomina
tion for the Presidency. His nom
ination is the result of pt rsistent
work on his part and by his friends
tow'ard the goal which he now has
reached.
Often Is Compared with Relative.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was
born at Hyde Park, Dutchess coun
ty, N. Y., January 30, 1382, a son
of James and Sara Delano Roose
velt. The family is of Dutch origin
and came to America from Holland
in l(i-18. The branch to which
Franklin Roosevelt belongs moved
to Hyde Park about 100 years ago.
His father, James, was a fourth
cousin of former President Theo
dore Roosevelt.
■tt.il anaiugy uilcii llc^^ utt-u niawn
between the political careers of
Franklin and his distinguished rela
tive. Both served in the New York
Legislature, both held the post of
Assistant Secretary of Navy and
both were elected Governor of New
York. But Franklin is a Demo
| crat and Theodore was Republican.
Thus politically there is little in
common between them and Frank
lin owes nothing of his success to
any influence exerted in his behalf
by the former President, although
they were personally upon good
terms.
As a lad young Roosevelt was
* credite'f.jKilh an—
' the’ Naval Academy at Annapolis.
He went, however, to the Groton
school, where he prepared for Har
vard, from which he was gradu
ated in 1004. He is a member of
the Alpha Delta Phi frabrniiy at
Harvard and has been elected to
Phi Beta Kappa, the honorary
society.
Upon graduating Mr. Roosevelt
came to New York and enter'd the
law school of Columbia University,
from which he obtained his degree
in 1907. He immediately joined the
law office staff of Carter, Ledyard
& Milburn, where he served as
managing clerk until 1910, when
he formed a partnership of his own,
Marvin, Hooker & Roosevelt. His
law practice was of a general na
ture and did not bring him into
any particular public notice.
Entered Politics in 1910.
Mr. Roosevelt first entered poli
tics the sam; year. The St ate
Senatorial district ifl which he li .ad
in Dutchess county had for tw.-nty
eight years sent a Republican to
Albany to represent it continuous
ly. Twenty eight was the exact
age of Mr. Roosevelt at that lime.
Democratic leaders, including
mayor jonn rv. satrue o[ rougn
keepsie and former Lieut. Gov.
Chanter, decided that the time- had
come for a change. They called at
Crum Elbow, the Roosevelt estate
at Hyde Park, and asked tin1
young lawyer to accept the nom
ination. They told him he alone
could defeat the Republican candi
date. He agreed to make the fight,
I and entered the campaign with
■ characteristic vigor and was elect
1 ed by a substantial majority.
The new Senator went to Albany,
I almost unknown outside of his own
j section of the State.
Almost Immediately, however, he
came into prominence through the
part he played in the defeat of
William F. (Blue-Eyed Billy) Shee
han as a candidate for United
States Senator to succeed Chaun
cey M. Depew. United States Sen
ators were then still elected by the
State Legislatures and Mr. Shee
han was the protege of Charles F.
Murphy, boss of Tammany Hall.
Mr. Roosevelt considered Mr. Shee
han too close to Tammany. Asj
leader in what turned out to^
one of the most bitter legislg
battles ever waged in this_
Mr. Roosevelt helped
about Mr. Sheehan’s d£
