RYAN PREDICTS A GOOD
YEAR FOR COPPER METAL

New Yorl-John D. Ryan, chairman
OF the Anaconda Copper ealnhany, said
on the eve of his departure for Europe
that he expected all important copper
companies to make a better showing
this year than IN 1924. The copper
situation is in very good shape and the
outlook is favorable" he said. DE
mand is heavy. both at home and
abroad. The price is still too low TO
give a satisfactory return to many Of
the mines, but that is largely due to
the bitter competition that exists in
selling the metal. The mines are not
pushing production"

contemplate civil war OF major pro

In its last analysis. such a struggle
might easily approximate a war be-

nal campaigning carried on by Feng
and Chang and the supplies furnished
by Moscow and Toxic.
Already considerable quantities Of |
arms and ammunition have been sent |
