PACKERS MAY CEASE
EXPORTING CATTLE

By the AssSCia ted Press.
BUENOS AIRES, October 1s.-Brit-
ish and American meat-packing com
panies here decided yesterday to
cease buying cattle for export be-
cause of the recently enacted law
compelling them to buy from produc-
ers at fixed minimum prices. The
companies claim the law cannot be
worked and that 1t is impossible for
them to operate under it's terms. They
have notified Minister of Agriculture
lie Breton that they will not attempt
to do business until the law is re-
pealed or modified, or some practical
way is shown them to comply with
the regulations.
Although 1t is understood the com
panies of late have made heavy pur-
ChaSeS of cattle in anticipation of the
law, their refusal to make further
purchases for export is stated TO mean
that shipments to Europe will cease
within a month if the law, which be-
came effective Wednesday. continues
to be enforced. 1t is learned that the
companies have notified their Euro
pean agents to cease taking and for
warding orders.

Reserve Board Governor
Notes Passing of Many
Grave Evils During 1923.
By the Associated Press

HARRISBURG. Pa, October 1s.-
Presenting an "Optimist's Bird's-eye
View of Business Conditions and
Prospects" Gov. Crissinger OF the
Federal Reserve Board told the mem
ners OF the Pennsylvania State Cham
Der OF Commerce yesterday that cur
rent affairs of the world contain a
decided preponderance of elements
that are reassuring to that great
majority of people who do not expect
and who do not want either a mil
ienflium or a revolution" He added,
however. that the "inextricable" mix
ture of politics with efforts at eco
nomic rehabilitation provided serious
difficulties and stayed what otherwise
would stand as an unsurpassed record
OF world economic revival.
Notes Caution in Business.
The final analysis of the whole
matter" said Mr.. Crissinger. "is that
the current year has been on the
whole a year of conservation and
moderation in both business and poll
ties. The greatest difficulty about
has been that the world has had to
deal with it's economic problems in
an atmosphere surcharged with poll
ties. Politics and economics have
been inextricably mixed. In both
business and the broad field of world
relationships we find disposition to
caution, to moderation. to patience
and reasonableness. This should be
altogether gratifying.

lieve things cannot begin to get bet
ter until they have got very much
worse. II may not be satisfactory. to
the opposite group. who believe that
by this time we ought to be in the
midst of an economic millennium"
Many Serious Evils Avoided.
Mr.. Crissinger, tracing world affairs
since the Versailles conference, said
it had taken the world leaders a long
time to realize that the problems of
peace were as difficult as the prob
lens of war
But we will do we'll TO avoid too
much of prophecy" he continued. I'VE
may, however, safely let our vision of
the future take some tones from the
picture of the present. The year 1923
might have been one of disasters
Many predicted 1t would be. There
might have been a huge convulsion IN
the near east between Turkey and
Greece. 1t was avoided. There might
have been a Greco-Italian war, draw
ing in half of the world. 1t did not
come. There might have been revo-
luton in Germany, but there was not.
The Anglo French entente might have
been wrecked under the strains 1t
sustained. But 1t was not. Europe
might have had bad crops, starvation.
