HOOVER DEFINES
DISTRIBUTION TASK.
Tells Conference Margin
From Producer to Con-
Sumer Can Be- Reduced.

Reduction of the margin between
the farmer and the manufacturing &
producer on one side and the con-
sumner on the other was laid down
as the outstanding problem of dis
trlbution today by Secretary of Com
merce Hoover at the opening session
OF the national distribution confer
ence, at the Chamber OF Com
merce of the United States. Dele
gates to the conference were wei
coined by President Richard F. Grant
or the chamber in a brief address.
Theodore F. Whitmarsh, president of
the Francis II. Leggett Co. of New
York. presided at sessions of the con-
ference, which is to last two days.
During the meetings a field of in
Quiry for investigation by a number
OF special committees will be mapped
out, with the committees to be ap-
pointed during the conference to re-
port at a meeting later in the year.
Among the subjects to be taken up
are trade relations, market analysis,
methods of distribution. general fac
tors affecting distribution and ex-
penses of doing business
Margin Can Re Reduced.
Secretary Hoover said he was con-
vinced that the margin between the
farmer and manufacturing producers
on the one hand and the consumers
on the other can be reduced without
reduction of wages or legitima e
profits, by voluntary cooperation in
industry and commerce with govern
mental regulation. "It can be ex-
pedited," he said, by an. extension of
the friendly assistance of the Govern
ment agentces in organization and in
formatio
These possibilities lie in the elimi-
nation of waste. 1 have hesitated
TO make so general a pronouncement
until / felt that we could clearly
demonstrate not only the existence
OF such great wastes but also demon
strate from actual experience the
pracucability of their elimination
and the method of doing it.
The area of undue profits in the
margin has been pretty well elimi-
mated in the past two years During
the period of imitation and defation
mere We're both undue profits and
undue losses, both equally a burden
on the producer and consumer. But
with the gradual stabilization in
prices the processes of competition
have attended to this job
Distributors TO Confer.
Mr.. Grant characterized the prob
lens Of distribution as matters for
grave consideration by this confer
ence." declaring that the distribution
or commodities and articles of COM
mon use is as important a factor in
the fixing of prices to the ultimate
consumer as the producing of them
The object of the conference. he said,
is to facilitate studies of costs and
methods, to bring distributors togeth-
er for solution of their common
problems and as a result of the dis
cussion to arrive at ways and means
finally for establishing the most eco
nomical forms of distribution. He
explained that the conference is not
a conference of the chamber but Of

FRENCH ACTION

SOVIET THREAT
Illinois SOIOn, Donkey
Says U. S. AHGche

PARIS, Sept. 15-Reports that the
debt negotiations between Paris and
Moscow have been suddenly broken
off by France have created a political
sensation here. Coming on the heels
Of the acceptance of the security
pact, by the governments Of Britain,
France and Germany, the news proves
the Soviet contention that the seeur.
ity pact is nothing else but an alliance
against the U. s. S. r. hatehed and
brought to maturity by the British
| government.
Three main considerations re be-
lieved to have prompted France to
break off negotiations with Russia, II
the reports are we'll founded.
First there is the French fear Of
Germany.
| Secondly, the need for benevolent
neutrality on the part of the British
in the French campaigns in Morocco
and Syria where French prestige has
received demaging blows.
Thirdly, on the eve Of Frances eff.
fort to solve the American debt pro-
blem, she wants to show the United
States that her relations with Russia
are not so cordial as to prevent her
| Joining world wide attack against
the workers republic provided good
and sufficient considerations were ad-
vanced.

OF course, seasoned political OBJ
servers, we'll acquainted with the d.

Orsay, are abiding their time before
building any speculative edifice on
the fiimsy foundations laid down by
these rumors. 1t is no secret that
Caillaux is not very much in sympA
thy with the proposed Soviet debt
terms. The French finance minister
is in high standing with the interna-
tional bankers and the bankers have
not yet shown any inclination to make
concessions to the Soviet govern
ment. a,
"A regular tornado of anti-Soviet
| propaganda was turned loose in every
european capltal just as soon as the
news Of the acceptance Of the secur-
ity pact was made public. An Amer
lean congressman by the name of
Britten, hitherto unknown in Europe
was quoted literally by the British
press Britten is reported to have
said, that after talking to Tchitcherin
and other Soviet officials, he conclud-
ed they were lot of murderers. An
attache Of the American embassy in
Paris laughed loudly and raucously
when shown Britten's statement I'VE
