Scholars here today were inclined
to believe the recent finds have

The relics, they say, furnish un-

is of Semitic origin.

RUBBER PRICES
''EXTORT|ON''

British monopolists in the rubber
industry will, extort between $780,
100000 and 500, 200, 900 from Amer
lean people this year unless way is
found to break it up, Secretary of
Commerce Hoover declared today in
a letter to Senator Capper Rep.) Of
Kansas.
Rubber is now selling at APP
proximately $1.10 a pound, as COM
pared with S6.7 cents pound the
first of the year.
When rubber sells for 80 Oh SO
cents pound, Hoover said, the
British growers realize a profit OF
from 10 to 25 per cent, and yet,
despite this, prices have been adj
vanced by artificial restriction Of
output to the point where it justi-

There are about a dozen raw
materials wherein American con-
sumers are at the mercy Of foreign
price fixing agencies, Hoover said.
Coffee might be used as another
example,
The only defense methods avail

bankers not to lend money to for

extortion, for American consumers
