KEPT
NO RECORDS OF
GOVT ACCOUNTS
(By The Associated Press.)

Guatemala City, Guatemala, July TO-
Adrian Vidaurre, minister of the
treasury, told The Associated Press to-
day that the accounts of the Estrada
Cabrera ADMINISTRATION were found by
the Herrera government, its successor,
in state of completed disorder Not
a single entry had been made In the ac-
count books Of the various departments
for several years past, the Minister
said and the internal revenue and
customs records were in equally bad
shape.
The building containing the tax rec
!Ords was set on fire following the i'm
parchment of former President Cabrera
and all these records were destroyed.
During Cabrera's S administration, Senor
Vidaurre declared, the President mere
ly reported to Congress the total re-
ceipts and expenditures without going
into details and did not explain in his
annual messages the disposition Of
large SURPRISES.
Under the new administration, Min
lister Vidaurre continued. various un-
accounted for sums have constantly
been turning up in the various govern
ment departments. Large amounts Of
national currency deposited in boxes,
he said, were saved from the Customs
house during the bOmhardment Of
Guatemala City by the Cabrera forces
and funds have been found in the
national treasury.
These sums could be used to meet
the expenditures Of the new admins
tration, according to Senor Vidaurre.

accounts, this money is not being used,

directly to the mills.
Strengthen Organizations.

what the farmers now propose to
do is to strengthen their local organic
ationS so as to be able to market their
products gradually throughout the
year, and to follow these products n
little farther down the devious road
which leads to the consumer. In the
case of grain, it is proposed to ship
much Of the crop direct from the coun-
try elevators to the consumers and
distributors. thus eliminating fully
one third of the present railroad hand
ling Of grain.
'The farmers contend that violent
market fluctuations are as costly to the
consumer as they are disastrous to
farmers. Retail prices are more prone
to follow the market peaks than the
the market slumps, SO that the consum-
er is more often paying on the basis of
the markets high spots. He rarely
gets full benefit of market SlumpS. hut
in the end he must pay the penalty for
violent slumps. When wholesale mar
ket prices drop below the cost of pro
duction. many farmers are forced by
financial reasons to cease production
of that particular product. a later
shortage and high prices are the result.
ON the other hand. Il steady and profit
able market guarantees increased pro
duction.
1T Is n notable fact that coopera-
tive marketing movements among
farmers have been one of the greatest
stimulators of improved farming
practices. resulting in Il better grade OF
products and the reduction of unneces-
sary loss.
Aaron Sapiro of San Francisco. who
Ii of the largest cooperative
ma rketing associations in California,
will be one of the speakers.
