AFTER THE wAR-wHAT THEN?
While the allies are engaged in the
struggle with German autocracy. the
problem Of meeting Industrial AZ
gression after the war also is receiv-
ing attention.
France is debating regulations to
compel registration OF nationality by
manufacturers and trades people, so
that the nation which has borne the
brunt Of the German assaults may
not unwittingly send gold to provide
funds for another war. Italy has
issued a decree requiring declara-
tions OF nationality. Others OF the
allied countries are discussing sim
liar measures. despite opposition in
some official quarters to anything
savoring of an economic war after
the war"
German duplicity and intrigue re-
vealed in the last four years have
strengthened fears in European
countries that Germany may attempt,
to market her goods when peace
comes by means of masked exports
giving the impression that they orig
mated elsewhere. Official dispatches
quoting financial writer's. say that
It is to be expected France for some
time after the war ends will be de-
pendent upon imports, because the
most important industrial districts
have been devastated by the inyad-
ers and in order to prevent unwit-
ting buying OF enemy goods, three
measures have been suggested, az
follows
Ito establish a personal regis
ter.
ITO establish a trade register.
3.-To demand the national mark
put on all goods imported into
France.
With regard to the personal regis
ter, it is the intention to make one
for each community, containing the
names and addresses of all the in
habitants, their birthplaces and the
names OF their parents. All store
Keepers shall hang in the shops a
sign plainly stating their nationality
On the basis of this personal reg
lister, a trade register shall be kept
as in Italy, Spain, Sweden. Norway,
Denmark. Switzerland, Hungary and
Germany.
There Is no intention Of boycotting
German goods. Economists have
pointed out that such step would
be a senseless thing to do and the
intention in France is only to con-
troll the German imports and keep

The management OF JOY theatre
announces the booking of two fea-
lures which will be of special inter
est to the motion picture patrons Of
Grants Pass. They are THE Auc-
tion Block" screen version of the
popular book by that name by Rex
Beach and "Thais," with the beauti-
ful Mary Carbon as the star.
Rex Beach's "The Auction Block, I"
produced by the Rex Beach company
and released through Goldwyn, Is a
type OF picture that none can avoid
and all will enjoy. The title Is a
power in itself, It is one of the best
works of Mr.. Beach. Nor does 1t
have to rely upon It's popularity as a
work of fiction for its praises, as 1t
adapts itself to the screen. There Is
the appealing note, ever present, its
dominance standing ready to demand
reserved attention. Through II all
runs the vein OF suggestiveness, but
handled with such degree OF sub
tleness that there Is no loop-hole left
for the finer sensibilities of any one
to accept this mute appeal, as in any
way. offensive. In "The Auction
Block" the screen has been given
a production that will hold from the
flash OF the title to the final dis
solve. The cast which Director Larry
Trimble has assembled is, with pos
sibly the exception Of one OF its con-
stituents, one OF the strongest, most
capable collection Of players ever
seen before the camera.
This production will be shown at
the Joy theatre next Thursday and
Friday.

Deserving Mines for Farms

In Oklahoma mine workers are de-
serting the mines by the hundreds to
take up work on the farms. The ire
gular operation of the mines is given
as the reason. Under the zonine svs-
tenn the operators say they are not re-
ceiving enough orders to keep the
mines running at anything like capa-
city, and the men, anticipating that
work will be even more uncertain as
the summer advances, are disposed to
turn to the farms, where wages are
high and work is steady. Operators
are dissatisfied with the coming system.
or at least with the manner in which
it has been applied to the Oklahoma
mines. They, say that most of the peo-
pie ignore the buy-early appeals and
that, for this reason. it is necessary to
expand the field of transportation and
sale for the Oklahoma mines if they
arc to be kept producing during the
summer.-Coal Age.

Wheat-The movement of wheat from

though stocks are extremely small at
the present time. the new harvest is
approaching so rapidly that the trade
supplies. Weather conditions were
again highly favorable for the new
winter crop, which is now heading out
as far north as Southern Kansas and
Oklahoma, and it is said that harvest
ing will be in progress in these sec
lions in about four weeks. There has
been noticeable absence of COM

that the present outlook is better than
The, spring wheat crop is also making
good progress in the Northwestern

Metals

Full details of the steel conference
at Washington on Friday are lacking,
but proposals for control by the gov
eminent of the industry are said to
have been under consideration. The
assumption is that government steel
demands are so heavy that the authori-
ties evidently consider drastic meas,
ures necessary. Steel interests, how
ever, believe they can meet the situa-
ton if fully advised of national re-
quirements. A survey of the indus
try has therefore been ordered under
direction of joint committee of board
members and steel manufacturers.
Mills continue to devote their entire
output to government orders, and out
side deliveries are subject to approval
by the director of steel supplies. 1t
the ingot output this year will exceed
43,600,000 tons, against approximately
42,200,000 last year.
The production of coke has been
brought up to oven capacity by increas-
ing the supply of cars, and the outturn
of iron is expected to be unusually
heavy. 1t is more than doubtful, how
ever, it after government requirements
are met there will be sufficient sur
plus for commercial purposes.
The outturn of smelted copper has
been ample, but there is a shortage of
refined metal which has caused some
inconvenience to consumers. Lead con-
tinues in moderate demand, and the
tone of the market is firm at from 7c

Cotton

Sentiment of those expecting break
IN prices regard both crop prospects
and end-season distribution appeared
to find encouragement in the cotton
market yesterday. There was enough
covering for over the weekend to
cause some irregularity, but the talk
around the ring was strongly against
prices, and all the active months sold
into new low ground for the present
movement. July contracts, for in
stance, broke to 24.65c, making a de-
cline of 40 points from Fridays close,
and of nearly $13 per bale from the
high level of week ago. That deliv
cry closed at 2494c and the final tone
was reported firm, although last prices
still showed net losses of l to II
points.
The market opened at decline of 2
to 20 points, with active months selling
% to 25 points net lower right after the
was supplied on a rally of several
points, and the market soon weakened,
with active months selling 80 to 40
points net lower during the middle of
the morning. There was a little trade
buying of October on the decline,
otherwise support seemed to come en-
tlrely from shorts, and the closing
rally was reflection of the strong
technical position.
Liverpool cables said that the British
Cotton Control Board had reduced
working hours in Lancashire from So II
to 40 hours week. which would re-
strict Lancashire consumption to about
$4,000 bales per week. This tended to
eliminate nf inc
ports for the near future, which
naturally emphasized the statistical
position. According to the weekend
figures, the worlds visible supply Of
American cotton is now 10000 bales
in excess of last year. The weather
map was generally fayorable, with the
forecasts pointing to continued good
weather over Sunday, and the weekly
crop reviews indicated favorable crop
progress on the average. The trade is
looking forward to a weekly report I'M
favorable to prices from the Weather
Bureau on Wednesday and is inclined
to expect that the initial condition fig
ures will not be much under the ten
year average. No change was reported
in the Southern spot markets, how
ever, and the trading here did not seem
to include any Southern hedge selling
