A2 ypu G0LD BLOC LOSES BATTLE ON AGENDA Committee Votes to Con- tinue Discussions of Mone- tary Subjects. (Continued From First Page.) they are able to prevent the exclusion ©of monetary questions. Suspended Untll Monday. The Americans and their supporters called attention to Chancellor Cham- berlain’s remarks that monetary mat- ters should be considered and that those countries which warted to could make reservations. This was t:ken to mean that these wishing to discuss such prob- Jems should go ahead and let the rest do what they wanted to. All conference work was suspended this evening until Monday. when vari- ous subcommittees report their findines to the Steering Committee. The agenda | battle will then continue. i American headquarters ex) theinselves as much cheered by the ) vote and confident that in the Steering Committee they would be able to cbtain agreement to discuss everything on the | original agenda, permitting the gold bloc to make reservations. It was stated in American quarters that just before the vote was taken, M. Bonnet approached the British delegates and cffered not to contest the issue if Great Britain would agree to let the question of indebtedness come up as the first item. The British dele- gation refused and the vote followed. Price Boost to Be Aim. America’s first big contribution to a revived and revised conference, which her delegates saved from death yester- day, is expected to be a sensational proposal for world-wide action in shortening the hours of labor, increas- ing wages and raising agricultural prices. The American delegation this morning worked on a draft proposal and, while the entire group had not approved it, its sponsors said they believed it would be presented to the conference shortly. ‘The conference radiated an atmos- here of purposeful activity which had geen lacking during the last few days. The assemblage had been dying on its feet when Secretary of State Cordell Hull saved it from complete collapse by pleading dramatically with the Steering Committee for its life, despite avowals of gold representatives that currency stabilization, refused by President Roose- velt, must precede any other conference considerations. The delegates had been umeasily ‘waiting for the end, with no heart for real work, but this morning they were attacking their problems as though they were really determined to make the big world parley succeed. Both the monetary and financial com- missicns met to set subcommittees work- ing on a revised agenda of Subjects which could be handled without ventur- ing into monetary topics. New Spirit Is Shown. An indication of & new spirit was given at the outset in the monetary commission when its chairman, Finance Minister Guido Jung of Italy, been one of the gold bloc supporters, de- clared that “we all feel it desirable to proceed with the work of the conference to the utmost extent.” Signor Jung, in explaining the posi- tion, said the business of the sub-com- mittee was to examine its agenda to see if there were certain- questions which some countries felt they could not discuss. He said such questions “would be held in abeyance for the time being” and added that “I insist on these last words “for the time being.’ " Mr. Chamberlain' followed Signor Jung with the startling declaration that none of the items ought to be excluded from the conference agenda, which was drawn up by a League of Nations Pre- paratory Committee and includes six major subjects. Supports U. S. Policies. ‘This was interpreted by many as sup- porting the American desire that the conference should continue with vir- tually the entire program. although it was decided yesterday to exclude mone- and tariff matters from discussion. { talking about it by mentioning 1t in: tary The British chancellor said it would be difficult to isolate the individual items on the fimd' because delega- tions could hardly discuss one without bringing in the others. All topics were connected. he said, ard therefore the sub-committee should exclude mwne of them. Those countries that wanted to could make any reservations they thought fit, Mr. ChSberlain suggested. ‘The present items on the agenda are: First. credit policy; second, price levels; third, iimitation of currency fluctua- tions; fourth, excharge controls; fifth, problems of indebtedness; sixth, re- sumption of lending. ‘The Rumanian delegate opposed Mr. Chamberlain, asserting that to retain all items would throw the conference straight back into a crisis because of the divergencies of opinion. He declared it would be futile to keep to the agenda and advocated that all items be discarded excepting indebted- ness. Suggests Two Groups. Numa de Oliveira of Brazil urged that the conference go ahead and suggested that two subcommittees be appointed to study the agenda, one consisting of rep- | resentatives of gold standard countries | and the other composed of those who | consider stabilization not the prime basis for the discussions. ‘The views of these (wo committees could be merged, he said. M. Bonnet, who led the gold bloc at- tempt to force the adjournment of the conference yesterday, took the floor and, while calling for a “truce” on monetary discussions, asserted that “we | have the success of the London Confer- | ence at heart.” ‘The French minister delivered a spir- fted address which drew applause. He spoke with his hands folded in front of him and emphasized his points by a n:uné)us trick of opening his thumbs out- ward. He was much surprised, M. Bonnet said, to find that discussion was begin- ning today on matters which he thought were settled yesterday by the Steering Committee. He agreed with Mr. Cham- berlain that most of the questions on | the original agenda were connected ex- | c=pt indebtedness, but he drew a differ- ent conciusion. M. Bonnet said that since there was now a customs truce in the economic ! here the French felt that there ould be a trucé in the monetary sphere. This, he added, has been the French position for many months— stabilization to remove speculation and fuctuations in currencies. Doesn’t Criticize United States. The Frenchman said there was no disposition to criticize the United | States, which has a tremendous prob- Jem and is “carying out a very diffi- cult experiment. which we are tollnw-l ing with sympathetic interest.” M. Bonnet said, however, that if one | country finds it advisable to carry on one line of action it cannot expect others to modify their lines of action.| “Unless there is some kind of truce, | ‘we doubt whether it will be possible to contemplate any real successful results grom the conference,” he declared. ‘There is only one subject on this subcommittee’s agenda which could be! digeussed — indebtedness — the French sminister asserted, and he therefore supported Virgil Madgearu, the Ru- manian delegate, in urging that all topics except indebtedness be elimi- mated. Unless there was some general ac- @eptance. “of our doctrine of stability, ‘we feel that not much can be don the Prench leader said. “We @nd wish for the success of the parley and that is why we deprecate discus- onetary questions. which ean gll; g out di.crgencies.” What’s What Behind News in Capital. Nature's Stimulus to Wheat Prices Beats Processing Tax. BY PAUL MALLON. HE farm subsidiary trustees of | the brain trust have been in & lather for some days now. ‘They see nature taking the farm issue right out of their hands. Prices are rising so rapidly that their program is embarrassed. There is grave fear that the natural 1aw will set- tle things before they can. That would not do at all. If prices go too high they cannot use the processing tax. If they cannot use the processing tax,| adequate acreage curtailment will be hard to accomplish next year. So they have adopted a little scheme. They found their new farm law full of jokers. It states, for instance, the | processing tax shall be fixed on & basis of “the current average farm price.” That means the commodity prices you read in the papers every day are not considered. They are Chicago, New York and other sectional prices. On wheat the average farm price is about 20 cents below the Chicago price. So as far as the farm bill is concerned we will not have $1 wheat until the Chicago price is $1.20 or thereabouts. But further than that the Agriculture Department estimates the “current average farm price,” for itself. It can- not walk from farm to farm. The bill does not say what farms shouid be con- sidered. how far they should be from railroads. Conceivably the department might consider the price of wheat at & farm in Hawaii. It will not go that far. But the sit- uation may give you an inkling of what a few brain trustees can do interpreting a plece of legislation when they really set their minds to it. You may have wondered where they got this 30 cents processing tax on wheat. The Agriculture Department an- nounces on the 15th of each month the results of surveys previously made on farm prices. On June 15 the farm wheat price was fixed at 58 cents a bushel. It was then selling on the Chicago exchange at about 78 cents. By economic legerdemain, the econo- mists figured that the average farm price should have been 88.4 cents per bushel. At that price, they deduced. the farmer could have bought wha: he did from 1909 to 1914 with a bushe! of wheat. So the difference between what the price was and what it should have been was 30 cents. That was fixed upon as the processing tax. The trick in it is that the tax goes into eflect tonight at midnight, but is based on cdiculations made mearly siz weeks ago or more, when the natural price was far less than it is today. Also there is nothing in the law which requires the department to change the tax no matter how high wheat goes at Chicago. It can stick to those low June 15th - %rs until embarrassed into chnnfilnl em. I} ‘The point behind these backstage maneuvers s that Iaws of nature and of Congress are not going to stand in the way of the determined fellows on the farm front. They know what they are after. ‘This idea of a dollar based on a commodity price index is just in the formative stage. President Roasevelt started every one his London conference note. He has nothing definite in mind now. Later something along that line may be worked out, but certainly not any time soon. The present program is to work the dollar :own lower in relation to other currencies. It appears the index dol- lar talk is designed largely as & smoke screen for that movement. ‘The same tactics were noticeable in Mr. Roosevelt’s urgent request that the conference continue. ‘Under the surface here no one wanted the conference to continue. They all knew it could not. unless it put the weather on the agenda. The concensus backstage was that the President performed a beautiful- ly strategic job in accomplishing his new purpose. What he really wanted was to be free from any entangling international alliances for the time being. It was the first conference since the war in which we did not give up some- thing. ‘The idea of a free gold market has been dropped by those at the top. That is & natural result of the new stand taken at London. A free market would mean no reval- uation of the gold dollar. Presiden: Roogsevelt is not ready to waive his revaluation power just yet. The crux of his scheme is to keep the possibility of revaluation in the forefront of the public minds. It buoys things up. ‘The trustees have been berating the cotton farmers under their breaths. It seems the plantation owners have not signed up for acreage curtailmen. on the scale expected. The situation became so embar- rassing Agriculture Secretary Wal- lace called off one of his press con- ferences. The department stopped giving out figures showing how many had signed. ‘That is the reason the cotton pro- gram has been delayed somewhat. It was to have gone into effect at the same time as the wheat processing tax. President Roosevelt’s handling of the London conference resembles nothing else much as the oldtime “vodvil” act of two comedians. One would heip the other up gently, dust him off neatly and then punch him in the nose. By the time the process had been repeated three or four times the cro was usually in an uproar. ‘The financial advertisements in New York newspapers show how widely is the trading on prominent sdministra- tion names. issue recently had THE EVENING STAR.

He saw an “inevitable conclusion” that these two have fixed prices. In response to questions, the Attorney General told newspapermen the price of steel rails and aluminum had shown a ‘steady rise” while other products had dropped. = “It is almost an inevitable conclusion he continued. “that artificial fixing of prices has been obtained by some de- vice.” Cummings said that in the aluminum company “you have the most. complete monopoly in America” The Mellon family of Pittsburgh has a large in- terest in the concern.

Cummings asserted that the “im in some quarters that the anti-trust laws have beén repealed or suspended, in whole or in part,” was “entirely erroneous.” “Industrial and other groups must abide by the terms and conditions of the anti-trust laws,” he said, “unless and until they obtain actual exemption from certain of the requirements thereof by formulating a code under | | its approval by the President.” | Discussing the statement at his press conference, he said it applied likewise { to the agricultural legislation and that “we are trying to see that the power { of the Government is used to protect the people generally and prevent im- With regard to the Aluminum Co., the Attorney General questioned why aluminum was not imported if it could be brought into this country “below the price fixed by the American monopoly.” “f people have made this query,” he added. “Is there & very pleasant understanding ‘The Attorney General said the Alumi- announcements were on the same news- [ num paper page.
