TRADE EXPANSION EXCURSION TO
 NOME

L. J. Calender is officially dele gated to represent the San Fran cisco Chamber of Commerce on the Trade Expansion Excursion sailing for Alaska aboard the steamer Bu- ford. This announcement was made recently by Henry F. Grady. director of the Trade Development Department.
 With scores of reservations made by San Francisco merchants as we'll as many by citizens of interior Cali fornia communities, including Sac ramento. Cloverdale, Auburn, Santa Rosa and Pleasanton interest grows daily in the trade trip to the North erm territory. -:- MT. Grady announced that a num- ber of Calif6-nia firms have asked the Chamber of Commerce for specialized information on trade prospects with both Alaska and Si- beria, all with the idea of expand ing commerce from the port of San Francisco with the northern areas.
 In view of the federal govern ment's extensive development pro- gram in Alaska, Chamber of Com merce envoys see in that territory a trade field of great fertility, one with many opportunities for a wide variety of California indEs.r;es.
 For this reason, the director of the domestic trade bureau has been delegated ito accompany the mer- chant emissaries, making first in commercial survey that San Fran cisco may obtain maximum returns from the trade excursion.
 A. c. Anderson, passenger traffic manager of the Alaskan-Siberian Navigation Company, has called the attention of San Francisco meat op- erators to the possibilities in meat trayiic, the 2eamer ,Buford, now operating in direct service to Nome, having refrigeration space for 26o tons.
 The Buford's refrigeration space it is announced will be utilized to bring reindeer meat from the Alas kan markets to San Francisco for distribution to California communi- ties.
 Attention is called to the fact that 20 years ago San Francisco ex- ceeded all other cities in her com mercial relations with Alaska. To- day. it is estimated only 10 percent of Alaska's purchases pass through San Francisco's trade channels.
 An Alaskan banker viewing the trade opportunities of the Northern territory says:
 With improved transportation facilities, miracles will result in the regaining for San Francisco the trade of Alaska"
 Big improvement in business is noted by Alaskan ohicials. John c. Mcbride, collector of Customs for Alaska. situated aA Juneau, the capital city. in report says: Practically all industries show 8 healthy growth. The year 1922 closed with an increase of 320,7s0,- 4O1 in the commerce of the terri tory over 1921. Exports from the territory more than doubled the dm- ports"
 In organizing the excursion. the domestic trade bureau of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce announces it's plans to have the commission representative of every large commercial activity in Cali-

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.1- within
two years after Colonel Drake bored
his first successful oil. well in Penn
sylvanta in 1859, crude oil prices
declined from $40 to so cents a tbar-
rel, thus Introducing d problem in
the oil industry which is stiff with
us, Walter G. Teagle, president of
the Standard OIL Company of New
Jersey, said today, in discussing cur
rent conditions in the oil trade.
Denying that any oil COMPANY. or
combination of companies could con-
troll the market price OF petroleum
products in this country, Mr.. Teagle
declared the American public Is re-
ceiving the benefit of the tempo
rarily unsettled conditions In the in
dustry The statement that crude
oil was selling below the cost of pro-
auction was subject to qualification
however, he asserted, due to the
great disparity between production
costs In the various producing fields.
Fluctuations to Continue.
Unfortunately" said Mr.. TeagIe
there. will always be wide fIuctua-
tions in prices OF petroleum prod
ucts, Of which gasoline is the best
known to the American public, and
these fluctuations. are not in the
interests of ih1 consumer of gaso-
line. The consumer would prefer tn
count on q supply sufficient for his
needs at q stated price, say rs cents
a gallon, rather than to have prices
jump around from Is to 80 cents in
q single season."
Mr.. Teagie pointed out there are
two theories concerning the estab-
Lshment of prices on petroleum
products. The so-called economist
theory calculates the actual cost #
production, and places selling prices
at a slight advance to allow FIR
reasonable Profits. The demand-and-
supply theory forces itself into
prominence in times like the pres

To DRAFT DRY !
LAW CODE
Other Violations of Statutes
Will Be Met Also by Plans
at Session Here.
BY KENNETH CLARK,
international News Service.

L
Adoption of a sweeping ma
tional code for the enforcement
of the dry law is the chief sug-
gestion which the Coolidge Ad-
ministration will advance at the
governors conference at the
White House on October 40, it
was learned here today.
This plan, worked out by the
prohibition unit on the basis of
questionnaires submitted to all
State executives, entails closest
coordination of Federal and
State dry agencies in gathering
I'D the loose ends and strengthen
ing the weak spots in the nation
wide liquor enforcement system.
Clauses in the Code.
Chief recommendations for the
formation of the code, which will be
submitted to the governors by the
Administration as the most efficient
plan for putting teeth into the
dry law, are:
/. That the paddock system" be
used extensively to close up eS-
adjustments violating the prohi-
bition act.
2. That State authorities assume
more vital and active part in con-
Quoting dry raids.
8. That prosecuting attorneys and
courts deal more severely with
liquor law violators, imposing Jail
sentences as well as heavy fines.
4. That purchasers of contraband
wet goods be dealt With>as severely
as sellers.
s. That more speed and prefer
ence be given liquor cases in the
courts.
Other Important Subjects.
Besides prohibition, two other i'm
portant subjects, and only two, sup
preston of the dope traffic and
"bootlegging Of immigrants" are on
the program of the conference
which has received the official
sanction of President Coolidge.
An official White House spokes-
man said today that the meeting
will deal SOLELY and totally with
law enforcement"
This means that there must be
no questioning of the exigency or
propriety of the laws: that these
measures are on the statute books
as the law of the land, and as
such. regardless of personal or
section opinion, must be enforced
strictly-and by cooperation Of
Federal and State units.
President Coolidge. in outlining
the program, has made this point
emphatically clear.

running, the dope traffic and SNUG
Cling of immigrants, admittedly,
have been sources of much concern
to the Administration. The present
enforcement system has not brought
all the high results anticipated.
But President Coolidge feels that
the existing weakness can be wiped
out il harmonious cooperation can
be secured between Federal and
State officers.
Appeal for Support.
To eliminate what the late Presi-
dent Harding once termed ''the ma.
tional scandal Of prohibition laxity"
Mr.. Coolidge and members of tho
Cabinet will appeal to State chiefs
to throw full support behind the

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-Germany
bought more American cotton and
copper this year than any other
foreign customer and paid for 1t
with American dollars, according tc
export figures made public by the
Department of Commerce.
In the first eight months of the
year. Germany bought $40. see, 900
worth of cotton, and $4,000, 600
worth of copper. while her total
trade with America for twelve
months amounted to $293, 000, 900, it
is stated. Germany has been buy
ing coal from England, replacing
the product of the Ruhr. of which
she has been deprived during the
French occupation. and raw ma
terials from Holland, Switzerland
and other European countries.
Sources a Mystery.
With the enormously inflated
condition of her currency, and her
declared inability to continue repa-
ration payments, from what sources
has Germany derived the funds, or
the credit, to make such prompt
and full payment for all her for
eign purchases? A complete answer
to this question would probably
disclose many secret activities Of
the German governing class since
the close of the war, and give an
accurate insight into the policies
and methods behind the greatest ex-
pertinent in currency initiation the
world has ever known.
That Germany built up substan-
tial credits in this and other coun
tries through the deliberate de-
basement of the mark, is the pre-
vailing opinion in American finan-
cial circles, as expressed today
by Frederick Todd, president of the
First Federal Foreign Banking AS

Sold Mark Short.
Germany short-sold the mark in

he says, Ito build up a credit
in the different markets. which is
now standing her in good stead
when imports have to be paid for.
With the help and cooperation OF
her friends and the direct efforts
of her accredited agents in Amer
lea, Holland, Switzerland and other
European countries, the German
government began a systematic in

dry. Peddlers of German marks
on our street corners are but n
part Of this gigantic system, which
built UP for Germany more foreign
credits than she could have amassed
in any other way"
Todd pointed bat that ais German
paper currency increased, the gold
holdings of the Reichsbanlk dwind-
led. thus making impossible the I'll.
innate redemption of the mark.
About one year ago, according to
this banker, the gold holdings of the
Richsbank amounted to one billion
gold marks, or $2SS, 00O, 900. Since
the first Of the year, because of the
exchange of gold for English coal,
the gold reserve of that country
has declined close to half billion
marks.

Administrations effort to uphold the
law.
This support, the President will
make plain, was demanded upon the
States in the ruling OF the SNareme
Court that the Eighteenth amend
ment concurred joint powers upon
Federal and State officers to en-.
force the law.
AS an example Of the Presidents
determination not to tolerate q dis
cussion Of the propriety of existing
laws, the White House announced
that the governors will not be asked
for an expression of opinion on the
new selectiVe immigration law being
drafted Jointly by Secretary Davis
and Congressman Johnson tRep.) of
Washington, chairman of the House
immigration Committee. Legislative
discussions are banned
The immigration problem is caus-
ing much worry. Aliens are being
smuggled across the Canadian and
Mexican borders, and Labor Depart.
ment officials estimate that approxi-
nnately 10000 alien sailors illegally
gain admission to the United States
each year on ''ship-over" transfers
at Atlantic and Pacific ports.
1t is the hope that from tine sug-
gestions of governors some method
can be evolved to deal this prac-
tice smashing blow.
