The Century of Progress Exposition, ‘whiéh opens next June, will be a boon %o the local stage, the managers pre- dicted. Several said they hoped to keep their theaters open all Summer, and are already planning to install cooling systems for the. venture. There are, however, exceptions to the bullish trend. For example, the Cort ‘Theater, which for years echoed to Shakespearean lines, is being converted into a garage.

Relief THE LEE HOUSE —INVITES YOU— Every Hotel Service Each Room With Bath As Low as Chief mann sell to the creameries.” Imported foreign fats and oils, as well as stearic acid, an animal fat product, in huge quantities, are causing the American farmer to receive less for his dairy cnd live stock products and for his products of the field, such flaxsced and cotton seed. In addition importations of cheap foreign oils are usurping the position of domestic lin- seed oil in the varnish, linoleum and ink industries. | While this is going on the average American consumer that uses a myriad of articles that have stearic acld as a| base, such as shaving cream, ink, cray- ons end pencil leads, unwittingly may be aiding the foreign manufacturer through his purchase of American made commodities which use the imported product Dairy Industry Hard Hit. A vigorous complaint has been filed with the Fed Government by lead- ing farm org2nizations of the United States on the theory that the importa- tion of cheap foreign oils in large quan- | tities, over the American tariff barriers, | ?rpressas the price of domestic oils an ats. The Nationsl Co-operative Market Producers’ Federation, representing ap- proximately 50 of the largest dairy co- | cperatives in the United States, and in- cluding nearly 400,000 dairy farmers,| declares: “Our point is that because foreign oils are coming in now from many de- preciated currency countries, it affects the whole price scale of all other do- mestic oils and fats, and permits in- rords to be made by oleomargerine, our principal competitor, whose price is so low it brings a direct injury to producers of butterfat and other dairy products.” Testimony taken by customs officials shows that raw materials entering into vegetable oil oleomargarine cost but. 3.77 cents a pound, and those entering animal fat oleo but 5.63 cents a pound. Depress Domestic Prices. “At these prices,” say the dairy pro- ducefs, “it is difficult for domestic pro- ducers of butterfat to obtain anything like & living wage for the product they Figures given the Treasury Depart- ment show that of the more than 8,000,- 000,000 pounds of oils and fats used in the United States each year, 6,716,000,- 000 pounds are produced domestically, and 1,726,000,000 pounds are imported. The foreign imports, it was said, have greatly depressed the domestic market prices. For instance, the farm organizations point out, during the first six months | of 1931, 64.8 per cent of the foreign oils were on the American tariff free | list, but during a similar period in 1932, the free list percentage had increased to 73 per cent. This, the farm organiza- tions claim, shows the trend of the imports toward cheaper materials and proves that many of the imported oils are interchangeable in manuafcturing identical materials. The Flax Institute of America, in a | brief filed with the Customs. Bureau, characterizes as “severe” the substitu- tion of cheap foreign oils for domestic linseed oil in the paint and varnish and linoleum and oilcloth industries. In 1931, it is pointed out, more than 80,000,000 pounds of tung oil, nearly 4,000,000 pounds of perilla oil and| 9,000,000 pounds of soy bean oil were used in these industries when unlimited quantities of American linseed ol were available at extraordinarily low prices.
