BUSINESS LEADERS
BUYING FAR AHEAD
Lamont Reports Low Com

chases of Raw Materials.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Lamont said today there
was an important trend now noticeable
In American business by which leaders
of industry are buying raw materials
far ahead of current consumption rates
The Commerce Department head
commented the movement was a natu-
raj reaction to the present low level
of commodity prices.
ct is perfectly clear" he added, 'that
business on the whole has ceased a
marked decline which was character
istic of a number of earlier months and
there are some distinctly encouraging
features. The most encouraging aspects
are the growth of export trade as re-
vealed by the August statistics and
the distinct picking up in retail trade
in this country.
1.-The increase of exports during Au-
gust was more than is customary at
this season. The gain already mani
tested in retail trade is more than
usually occurs at this season.
Moreover, the stocks of retail stores
are exceptionally low, and there is good
reason to believe that their purchases
from manufacturers and wholesalers
will increase materials"
AS to the purchase of raw materials
by industry, Secretary Lamont said the
extra buying was being done entirely
without organization knd not because
Of any Government pressure or solicit
tation.
Though there have been one or two
conferences as to details of raw ma
terial buying at the instance of indus
trialists themselves" he explained, "the
Government is not in any way respon-
slble. OF course, every good executive
knows more about his business than
any one else possibly can know, and
sound business men do not have to be
told that q low peak in commodity
prices represents a signal for tntelli-
gent buying"

RESTS ON ONE SHORT CLAUSE

daily turnover of sales totals many times
that amount.
To this Mr.. Hyde counters with g
chart showing that the wheat market
was on the upgrade on the first of the
three days on which the Russian con-
tracts were placed. The price of wheat
Immediately fell off to a low CLOSING
mark that day, opened and closed still
lower the next and sank yet lower on
the third day.
Cites Bear Psychology.
THAT is the best answer to the Rus
sian claim that their dealings were SO
small relatively as not to affect prices, y
Mr.. Hyde states. 81 do not say that
the 100000 or so bushels, taken alone
caused the drop, but ! do say that the
short selling was the chief contributing
factor. Bear psychology is a strange
thing. A bear movement need not be
great at the outset to spread an cpl
demlc OF bear psychology and to create
a general depression of prices.'
Inc Russians come back with the
assertion that other traders handle
deals as large and larger than that
complained of by Mr.. Hyde, and that
nothing is said of it.
The Department of Agriculture meets
this with the statement that here is
not private dealer, but a foreign gov
eminent engaged in short selling of
wheat in the American market when
It's own people are wanting for food. .
II this was legitimate hedging opera
ton, 1t is argued, Russia must be ready
to deliver 100000 bushels of wheat
here In December-and, besides. must
actually deliver that amount at Liver
pool or some other market in a cash
transaction. Yet, it is recalled, the
Russian people are being rationed, with
white bread being distributed only to
children under 10.
Burden Rests With Board.
The case against the Russian govern
ment, therefore, would appear to be one
of international ethics" on the basis
Of the Governments present attitude,
II Is a case presenting what Secretary
Hyde. after conference with President
Hoover, characterized as "a new cues
ton of public policy"
AS for the case against the Chicago
Board of Trade, Uncle Sam has as
sumed the position that the burden of
proof rests upon the defendant. II
1usttf1es this attitude by reminding the
board that its Federal license makes it
compulsory for the board-not the
Government-to take proper steps To
prevent price manipulation.
In short, 1t would seem that the Gov
eminent has called on the Chicago
Board of Trade to SHOW cause why its
Federal license should not be revoked, y
although the suggestion has not been
put so bluntly as yet.
I'VE are giving the board a chance
to clear its deck" Mr.. Hyde explains
ANY future action by the Government
must await the boards own showing in
response"

TIlE ALASKA FISHERMAN

There is very good reason to believe that in good degree this is the case.
 "If it be true, the net result of our seasonal closing would be to build up early and a late run, which would yield nothing to the fisheries, while the midseasOn would feel little or no bene- fit from it." ~
 Dr. Charles H. Gilbert in the Pacific Fisher man of October 1923

Alaska's population gain during the last ten years is ptifully meagre when compared with the gains of other pioneer regions of the United States In all the country for more than 150 years there is parallel to it With the lone cxcetulon of Neva- da which shrank after the Comstock boom until it had only 49395 in 1900 slightly smaller than it had been thirty years before. However. without any, thing approaching boom and with natural loss incident to the completion of the Alaska Railroad there has been gain of nearly 4,000-about seven per cent Most of this gain was in the First Divi- sion. To gain at all better than the previous decennial period.
 The circumstances that the Government has restricted and circumscribed individual enterprise and opportunity in Alaska is responsible for lot of the s]oWness of her growth. However, it is due more perhaps, to the circumstance that it is sepa- rated from the remainder of the country by an ocean voyage and the fact that, differing from the States where agricultural opportunities lured i'm

THEY PAID TOO MUCH

Honesty is the best policy"
 Honesty is the best policy, even in politics.
 In the recent primaries, the Juneau Demo- crats were anxious to defeat the Hon. Will A. Steel for reelection to the office of Senator that they deserted their own party primaries and tered the Republican primaries
 This a dishonest act
 These Democrats succeeded, however, in de- feating Senator Steel but in so doing they also defeated their candidate for highway engin- ger, Robert Sommers. It is conceded that if the Juneau Democrats had stayed in their own pri- maries, "Bob'' Sommers would have been victori- William Hesse.
 And now the Juneau Empire, paper that is directly responsible for the manner of Senator Steels defeat, mourns the loss of MT. Sommers
 The Empire confesses the true situation thus:
 Republicans, Democrats and independents rushed into the primary of the party in which there were more or less spirited contests"
 We print the editorial in full:
 Direct Primary Franks
 Without wishing to reflect upon the nomina- tion of w. A. Hesse, Democratic nominee for High way Engineer, whom we understand is very fine gentleman and competent man, every way qua- Id TOT the office for which he is candidate, the result of the primary on that position is illustra tive of of the worst features of the way direct primaries work out. The office of Highway En- gneer was the only that was contested in the Democratic primary, hence interest on primary day was almost wholly centered in the Republican contests, which embraced all the offices The re- suit was as it often is elsewhere, nearly all the voters, Republicans. Democrats and independents rushed into the primary of the party in which there were more less spirited contests Less than 600 votes were cast for candidates for High

Macdonald Government Narrow
 Iy Escapes Reversal in Vote

London, Dec. IS LP-Keen sprru- lation developed in political quarters todar as to how the government would. solve the dilemma created by it. narrow escape from defeat last night in the house of commons where it rejected a measure continu- ing the dyestuffs act by only six votes. The vote was "A to 23S.
 IT the lobbies of parliament last night it was believed the ministry would stand pat on inclusion of the dyestuffs act in the expiring laws bill, but the view was growing today that the cabinet might yield and al low the act another year or 6 months of life.
 The ministers are faced with the facts, that about score of their own followers tacitly supported the house of lords amen lment. which would have prolonged life of the bill, by abstaining from recording their votes, while one prominent labor n mber voted against the govern ment, that IS liberals voted against the government and that there are many indications that q large part of the country fayors the lords ac- ton.
 One possibility up for discussion at cabinet meeting today was that the government would return the measure to the lords who will almost certainly reinsert their amendment. This done, the government might suggest the dyestu1fs act be allowed to operate for another year. avoid ing the risk of defeat in the com mons and easing the situation.
