BOOSTING Of PRICE
OF COFFEE Barred
Large Brazilian VaIorization
Scheme Blamed for Arti-
fiCiaI Rise.

a marked reduction in consumption
of coffee in the United States and a
stimulation TO its production in all
tropical areas were set forth today as
the chief effects during the last year
of what the Commerce Department
termed the large artificial increase in
price resulting from the Brazilian
v2loriZation scheme"
The cost to the American consumer
of the increase in price was fixed by
the department as $50 100000.
a summary of the situation accom-
panying the figures. omitted mention
of attempts in the American coffee
trade to organize against the higher
prices.
Big Price Increase.
In the fiscal year ending Jun 80,
1924. the average price of imported
coffee to the United States was IA. .445
cents per pound the department said.
while in the fiscal year ending June
80. 1925, the average price was POSTS
cents, or an increase of 4412 per cent
The increase in price of Brazilian cof-
fee during the same period was nearly
So per cent.
Parallel with this. the imports of
from 1.429, 100000 pounds to l,279 ,00G,-
900 pounds, decreased consumption
in the United States of about $50 ,000,-
600 pounds.
'Of the total coffee imported into
the United States during the last
fiscal year, 81 per cent came from
Brazil and the Brazilian coffee valori-
zation necessarily controls the price
to large extent. 1t seems clear that
the large increase in price has
brought about a definite reduction in
consumption and has also stimulated
production in many coffee growing
countries, the result of which has
been a decrease in the price of i'm
ported coffee to the present price
level Of 1919 cents per pound"
Loans Sought in L. S.
Brazilian loans have recently been
sought in the United States and the
action has been accompanied by fire.
quent reports that American bankers
were seeking to obtain some altera-
ton in the Valorization plan upon
which Brazilian coffee producers have
operated. 1t has also been suggested
that the Commerce Department might
have Influenced the American bank
ing group in this position. but no Of
fetal confirmation of such reports has
been forthcoming.
All of the Brazilian valorization
operations depend on the maintenance
of fixed prices through Government
purchase of coffee surplus.

DrIgible to PatOka's Mast and an
Airship Anchor.

LAkEHURST, n. j., August 16
N).-After successfully mooring TO
the tender Patoka at sea. the first
time this maneuver has been ner.
formed, the Navy dirigible Shenan-
doah returned to the naval air sta
tion today from Newport, r. l.
Another new maneuver was sue
cessfully executed when the dirieible
cropped sea anchor and rode at It.
Comdr. Zachary Lansdowne, in
charge of the flight, said tonight the
tests were as successful as could be
expected.
While the airship was attached to
the Patoka's mooring mast, however.
he said, 1t was demonstrated that
additional equipment would be needed
before this can be done in rough
weather. A fiat sea was largely re-
sponsible for the success of this test.
Rides to Sea Anchor.
The sea anchor, large umbrella.
shaped canvas bag, was dropped
from a height of 500 feet and the
Shenandoah rode on It for an hour.
Comdr. Lansdowne said
Training of the dirigible's crew in
firing the Is machine guns recently
mounted on the Shenandoah was
scheduled to start this week, but it
was stated at the air station that no
airplanes to tow targets for the
dirigible gunners have yet been pro.
Sided.
The airship's itinerary during the
keXt few weeks includes a flight to
minnesota during the first or second
week of next month, with a stop at

tion of a lighterthan-air squadron OF
the United States Navy within short
time was disclosed last night by Capt.
Walter r. Gherardi, aviation aide to
the Secretary of the Navy and former
commander of the aircraft squadrons
of the scouting fleet.
Capt. Gherardi said a high-ranking

mand the group and a complete ritual
of tactics, strategy and radio tactical
signals will be designed for its opera
ton.
Plans for Huge Graft.
Capt. Gherardi declared the Navy is
now in possession of plans for dirig-
ibles considerably larger than the Los
Angeles and comprising special Of
fensive and defensive attributes.
The first-line ships of the lighter
than-air squadron will at first be the
military dirigible Shenandoah and the
commercial or transport dirigible Los
Angeles, with a lesser company of
naval bags and balloons, all grouped
under one command. To this organ
ization all new dirigibles will be added
and given places in the lines as com
blatant or transport craft.
The new squadron will be added to
the scouting fleet, it Is thought.
To support the communications and
ground organization of the new SQUAD
ron, a line of mooring mastS from
Lakehurst to Hawaii is proposed and
an appropriation is available for con-
struction of masts on the mainland
and in Hawaii. The Hawaiian mast
is to be ready for reception Of dirig-
ibles this Autumn.
Similar Army Squadron.
A similar squadron is expected by
naval leaders to be developed by the
