buying orders in the temporary absence of
any immediate fresh incentive. Opening

lower with May s1.41 to SLAIN and July
S114A to $114M were followed by sharp
upturn, which carried the July delivery
to well above yesterdays finish. 10 =.
Subsequently. owing to profit taking
sales, and to rain at some point in Okla
homa best prices were not maintained. The

When Secretary Daniels tells the com mittee on naval affairs of the bst1ss tkat he believes there should be | eSntinua nss of the present naval programme of the government whereby there are those who ' claim it will give us the greatest navy in the world unless and until there is an international understanding regarding 4 disarmament, he takes a position which . is in accord with President-eiect Hard: ing, who has declared that he is for q large navy in order to protect ourselves through strong first line of defense.
 It is not believed, however, that either is disregarding the requirements of the country in the matter of curtailins ex. penditures. We have no plan for az.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR


 MT. Editor: In answer to an article published Jan. 8, in the Danielson news referring to the bricklayeTs and masons anticipating a reduction in wages and also stating what wages they will get I will say it is false and misleading to the public. We are inclined to believe the local correspondent is going beyond his authority in making such a statement therefore our statement is, that we/ are not anticipating any reduction in wages and not contemplating any. We we e the last to raise our wages and I be- iieve our scale is as low as any in the state
 But we are taxpaying Americans and do not in any way wish to hold the pub- lie back from building. If the contrac. tors in this jurisdiction think that q reduction of wages is the only way, lei them come to us fair as we did tc 1 them and not let one correspondent b, dictator for the entire public.
 Yours respectfully, JOHN OWEN, Secretary BTicklayers and Masons Union i Danielson, Jan. 10, 1921.
