PLAN BIG
DEBENTURE ISSUE
Money to Be Used in Export
Plan, and Banks to Hold
Preferred Stock.

The plan for the sale OF American
copper to Europe through the Copper
Export Association will likely call
for an issue of $40.000.000 of deben-
lures to run for perhaps Ave years,
and also preferred and common stock.
The preferred stock is expected 70
be held by a group OF banks, while
the common stock will be held py
the producing companies.
OF the present 275.000 tons Of cop
per-55O, 0O0, 900 pounds-it is pro-
posed to finance and remove from the
market 4OO. 900. 900 pounds.
Under the plan, 1t is said. the asso-
citation will borrow funds from
group of banks The association will
then advance to the producers at the
rate Of 10 cents a pound. $40.00O,0Oo,
on the 400 ,O00, 900 pounds OF copper.
The banks will then issue 100000 600
of debentures secured by this metal.
Copper is now selling between IL
and 10 cents o pound. The associa-
tion is to make advances to producers
at the rate of 10 cents. The diner
ence, at 2 cents pound, would
amount to 100000.
The banks will issue $S.OOO.ooO or
preferred stock and hold It II cop
per goes to an average of IL cents
pounu, as IL uio jdst yoois ~ho "~
copper interests predict may be ap-
preached this year, there will be is
sued In common stock the difference
in price. This common stock will be
held by the producers and would
prove highly profitable IL copper
should advance substantially.
Shipments are to be financed
through ninety-day acceptances, sub
ject to renewals for two or three
years, or until Europe has worked
itself into a position where 1t can
pay for the metal
The present huge copper surplus
Is retarding the booking of orders
for future delivery, as manufacturers
are not inclined to place orders when
so large a surplus overhangs.
Producers are to curtail production
so as not to aggravate the present
supply, but to reduce 1t.

Drop Of 366 Millions In
Revenues From Taxes
In Seven Months,

Falling or in income and excess
profits taxes in the first seven
months Of the present fiscal year,
has amounted to 1855, 900. 900, COM
pared with the same period last
year, according to the Treasury De-
partment's announcement.
Revenue collections from income
and profits, taxes since July /, ag-
gregate $1.8S5, 100000, as against
S2,0o2 900, 900 the preceding year.
Sudden decreases noted in the
record Of imports from abroad, also
has caused the customs revenues to
slump. The customs revenues for
the seven months, amounting to
$169, ,0O, 900, is about $6,O0O,00O less
than for the same period q year
sgo.
Panama Canal tolls have doubled,
as a revenue course. Collections
thus far are $7,301 900, against $3,-
098,000 a year ago.

AUTO CORPORATION
NEEDS S15,0OO,000
WiIlys Concern Said to Require
That Amount to Avert
Bankruptcy.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-At least
s15.O0O,0OO will be needed to save
the WHY'S Corporation, the WELL
known automobile factory from
bankruptcy, II was declared yes
terday by an evening newspaper.
The newspaper said that the COM
rany was in such financial straits
that three separate committees are
working on plans to save the con-
Germ from n recelvership. The cor
poration was founded by John N.
willys, head OF the Willys Overland
Company.
The capital stock Is 10000, 900
and Mr., willys Is the largest holder
of common stock, which has no par
value, but which IL carried on the
books at about SIS, 100000.
Banks have already loaned st2,-

stated. 'The situation which the

while there is, perhaps, no single
solution of It, there are many steps
that can and should be taken TO place

ALLIES MAY ASK
AMERICA consent
Reciprocal Credits Urged for
Return to Normal Conditions
BY italian Leader.

PARIS, Feb. THE business OF the
allied economists and financial ex-
perts is to solve the question Of meet
ing the Allied debt to America today
Signor Giannini. italian member OF
the financial commission, who is given
credit for hxing the German indem-
nifty, said today.
''It Is to be hoped" said Giannini,
"that the Harding Administration
will comprehend that the problem Is
Of the most urgent Importance, and
that this is the sole way to solve the
Industrial and financial crisis OF
Europe.
"The return to the normal condi-
tions can only be attained by Amer
ica's consent to a scheme OF recipro-
cal credits, which by increasing the
buying capacity of all countries, viii
enable the United States to reconquer
the world markets."
Another famous Allied expert de-
clared:
"while the ideal solution IL un-
doubtedly the cancellation by Amer
lea of all war debts. public opinion in
the United States would certainly be
against such n plan. Therefore there
should be urged middle ground and
decide upon a plan by which half of
the debt to America would be wiped
out and the other half consolidated
in an allied debt on long terms"

LAGG|NG INDUSTRY
IMPROVES SLIGHTLY

NEW YORK. Feb. 6.-Business
conditions showed slight improve
ment during the week, but industry
still lags. Unemployment is the
chief blight and, traced to Its logical
source, unemployment is the result
of lack OF orders. Prices OF COM
modities showed downward trend
and wheat sold at a new level.
A few Independent steel mills in
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West. Vir-
ginia are increasing their operations
and some of the New England tex
tie mills that had closed on account
Of absence OF orders are resuming.
Both the steel and textile indus
tries. however, are very far from
normal.
There was a decrease I'm business
failures during the week from last
week. However, figures compiled to-
day show that the failures in jan
nary were the largest for any month
since 1916.
There was a Tightening OF money
and the Federal Reserve Bank OF
New York raised its rediscount rate
one-half Of / per cent from 5h to 8
per cent. This was the first change
in the rate since last March. The
railroads have begun a concerted
fght TO lower wages. w. w. At
terberry, chairman of the Associa-
t,on of Railroad Executives, in ad-
dressing the United states Labor
BOARD. asked for the Immediate re-
con sideration of wage agreements
with railway organizations. The
railway organizations lost no time
in stating that they would fight such
action. According to Mr.. Atterberry
practically none OF the railway sys-
TENS are making any profit despite
the fact that 200, 900 workers have
been laid OF In the wave OF re-
He named thirty-six
roads that did not earn operating
expenses in January. The Erie Rail-
road. Cleveland Hallway Company,
and the Crucible steel Company were
among the enterprises that an
nounced wage cuts during the week.

TAXREFUNDS WILL
SWELL US. DEFICIT
Treasury Must Return Huge
Sums-largest Item on
Stock Dividends.

The Treasury deficit may be in
creased by many millions Of dollars
this year, through payment Of claims
for refunds of taxes illegally assessed,
officials declared today.
One Of the large items of refund,
involving repayment Of many mil
lions to taxpayers, covers taxes col
lected by the Government on stock
dividends, which the Supreme Court
has since held are non-taxable.
Collections in previous years made
on stock dividend assessments run
into big totals, but officials are un-
able to say accurately the probable
size of the refunds.
Thousands of claims for such cred
it's are piling up in the Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau. and 1T will be some time
before all of them are adjusted. Col
lectors throughout the country report
that they are beseiged by taxpayers
for prompt action upon many of these
claims, long pending, but collectors
can do no more than certify the
claims to Washington for final ac-
counting. Collectors are refusing to
allow credits on account of taxes paid
on stock dividends and, under orders
from Washington. are powerless to
grant rebates, officials declared.
Some officials said that estimates
that are fairly conservative indicate
that the amount previously paid into
the Treasury as taxes on stock divi-
dends, amounts which must be even
tually repaid to the taxpayers, may
run beyond $100,000,000. Until audit
of all OF the claims Is completed, how
ever, no official figures of the size Of
the refunds will be available.

LATEST MORRIS PLAN STATISTICS.

Morris Plan statistics just compiled
from reports to the Industrial Finance
Corporation, Of New York, the parent
company of 100 Morris Plan banks and
companies operating the Morris Plan
of industrial loans and investments
throughout the United States. shows
that the needs of 328,987 borrowers
were met in the year 1920 by loans
aggregating $69,168.3S4. This figure
should be compared with the loans
made by the Morris Plan during the
first year of its existence 1910),
which amounted in the aggregate to
$4,000. Since that year the Morris
Plan has made 1,219,9S7 loans, amount
ing to s212,16s,3S4.
In addition to this amazing record
of growth in volume of loans, a cor
responding increase In the number Of
patrons practicing thrift on the Nor
ris Plan has been accomplished. More
than S15,000,0 Is now held for pa
irons who have saved this sum in
small amounts. The Morris Plan
Company of New York alone is OBJ
tanning new savers at the rate Of
more than 5000 a month, each of
whom Is starting to save the Morris
Plan way. During the month Of De-
cember alone, residents Of New York
saved more than 100000 in this way,
while in January the amount in
creased to 100000. These savings
are In small amounts from 81 up.
The Morris Plan Company of New
York, founded January 1, 1915, has
lent S27,SS1 .617.0O to 16S,0O0 persons,
and during the past year made loans
aggregating more than S9,000,00O. 1t
has in it's files credit investigation
covering over 100000 names. And
there are ninety-nine other Morris
Plan banks and companies In the
United States. The gross earnings Of
the Morris Plan banks increased 60
per cent in 1920 over the previous
year.
