WEEKLY COPPER REVIEW

! usual requirements for some months
past.
The plans for the organization of
this association have been submitted
to the proper authorities at Washing
ton, so that it may function under the
provisions of the Webb -Pomerene' act,
which was passed for the purpose of
absolvng corporations from possible
prosecution under the older law pro-
hibiting combinations in restraint Of
trade, and known as the sherman anti
trust act
The Webb-P -Pomerene act permits q
combination such as is proposed in
the Copper Export association, by
which the principal producers pool
their interests in order to avoid the
i'll effects of active competition for
business. The principal American pro-
ducers have already signified their in
tention of joining the association,
among them being Anaconda Copper.
American Smelling and Refining COM
pany, Phelps Dodge, Utah Copper, and
the other porphyry copper producers.
While the Lake companies are not
mentioned in the news dispatches, it
is probable that they also will adj
here to the plan.
The establishment of nm office ir-
New York by the Katanga company
indicates an understanding between
tho principal foreign ana American
producers. 1t will coordinate the for
eign selling activities through CEN
trail organization and in regulatory
way, which is bound to have a fav-
orable effect on the industry as a
whole. The membership of the as
soctation, including the Belgian com
pany, puts it in a position where it
will control within a few per cent of
| the worlds total copper output.
Therfe has been some recent inn
provement in the German buyirg or
ders being for early delivery and
scattered. The situation in England
| is still unfavorable and this is holding
back the, buying Of other countries.
Also, the continued weakness of the
franc is another European handicap
and all in ALL it cannot be said that
the foreign outlook for early improve
ment is favorable.
! The political season has brought a
great deal of discussion regarding a
copper tariff and what it will accom-
plish for the industry. While this is
an economic question rather than q
political one, it bids fair to be made
a political issue in copper producing
states. The Boston News Bureau cam
not see the copper tariff as is indi-
Gated by the following:
1.-The producer cannot hope, upon
any grounds of intelligent reasoning,
| to secure bef-efft from an import tax
on copper as long as the United States
| proper produces more copper than it
! consumes, and in this phase of the
question there is situation that is
not entirely represented by the. sta
| tistica1 records of copper production
and consumption. This arises from
| the fact that there is a very substan-
tial amount Of copper manufactured
! in the United states and covered un-
der the category of domestic consump-
| tion while, as a matter of fact, the
manufactured articles are sold in for
eign markets and do not enter into
the statistical records of export
IAN import duty could not possibly
| be conceived for any other purpose
thar that of raising domestic price

purpose of such tax. do not be-

Farm Relief Proposals.

isla tion are reaching point where
Congress must soon come to show
down. But this is not an assurance
ical' legisla ton will be enacted al
this session of Congress. The way
seems clear for the cooperative mar.
keting bill, which has administration
approval and 10 which there is no
influential opposition, but the prob.
lem OF crop surpluses is just about
where it was last December. Every.
body agrees it is desirable that some.
thing should be done, but no one yet
has come forward with a progra m
which seems to have any chance of
or of receiving presidential approval
If so passed.
Typical OF the state Of mind in Con
gress was the debate in the Senate
Saturday. Senator Borah had solemn.
lv warned his colleagues of political
disaster If Congress failed to take up
farm relief legislation. Senator Short.
ridge asked: Has the Senator from
Idaho proposed any measure or fa-
vored any measure the design Of
which Is to aid agricpiture?" Senator
Eorah answered that be would be glad
Evening star., 1926-03-30

to consider any one of several pend
ing measures, but that he had no
measure OF his own and had not made
up his mind as TO the merits Of any
particular bill. And Senator Borah Is
in no different situation from a
ma ajority OF the members of Congress.
Not only members of Congress, but
the farm orea nizations and their of
fetal spokesmen In Washington con-
tinue to be seemingly hopeiessly di'
vided on the subject of relief legisla-
ton. Yesterday half dozen farm or
ganiZations joined in a statement to
the House committee on agriculture
in support of the Dickinson bill as re
written, but it is~noticeabie that this
memora nduIh is not signed by either
the National Grange or the National
Council of Cooperative Marketing As
sociat ions, two of the largest and most
influential Of agricultural bodies.
The bill which has been indorsed
by the "tommittee Of Twenty-Five
and other so-called, radical farm Or
eanizations. has been described as the
old McNarN, HauGen bin with bobbed

fairy tales, the statue is alive, and

Il was proposed two years ago 70
establish the next national park
somewhere I'm the East. 1t was noted
that OF the 10 national parks rs were
west of the Mississippi River and
one in Maine. Congress authorized
commission to select and recommend
suitable location, and after several
months of active exploration the
commission recommended a region Of
the Blue Ridge averaging 10 or IL
miles wide by IS miles long-of which
the committee says:
The greatest single feature is
possible skyline drive along the
mountain top following continuous
ridge and looking down westerly on
the Shena ndoah Valley from $500 to
800 feet below, and, also, command
ing a view of the Piedmont Plain
stretching easterly to the Washing
ton Monument, which landmark OF
our National Capital may be seen on
clear day. Few scenic drives In
the world could surpass 1t.
The entrance to the proposed park
is ~ miles from WdSHiIls tOH-d LHIcc

Highway. Crossing the park 10
miles, there Is the famous Lurav

Congress requires the State to pur
chase the land and donate ii to the,
Government for park purposes. That
will cost $500 900. Virginia has al

Temperance.

From the Cedar Rapids Evening Gazette.
Temperance is not prohibition. but
poise good judgment, self-control and
moderation i'm all things. We are liV
ing In one Of the most incorporate
periods Of American history.
This is day of strenuous passions.
of far-fiung Imagination, of excessive
empha sis. OF uncurbed enthusia SINS.
We are having great difficulty In
enforcing our laws and prohibitions
mainly because we are living in an
era that is not characterized by per
sonal poise, moderate tastes or good
Judgment. Speed and excess charac-
terize the age. We are inclined TO go
the limit
In short. this is the day of Jazz. We
want sensations and want them
charged with sufficient excitement TO
lift us off our feet.
Thrills and modesty, sensationalism
and well balanced living do not exist
together. When people do not cult
vate greatly the spirit of Temperance.
they lack the power to observe pro-
hibitions.
Invention and prosperity have en-
riched our environment faster than
we have developed our intellectual
and moral standards TO sustain our
equilibrium. The average citizen Is
conscious of new powers, new oppor-
tunities. Many of us are like released
prisoners whose feet had been
chained to iron balls. Seemingly
there are people who want to explode
their emotions with a big stick of dy
Mantle that will give them a thrill
that they never will forget.
In spite of our rising standards of
education, we seem to be less able to
live happily in our own minds and
hearts. but want something doing
all the time" tp keep us from fainting
because of the dullness of everything
