...shortages become more severe, talk of export restrictions has begun to crop up. Georgia Democratic Senator Herman Talmadge is demanding controls on all commodity exports because of the cotton crisis.

He glazes Jeremy over with winsomeness, and seems to demand that it be liked for its own slightness and vulnerability...
