IN NEW DEAL

The board of directors Of the
international Match Corporation
at meeting held recently
declared the regular quarterly
dividends of 81 per share on both
the participating preference and

ber Is.
At the meeting it was also
voted to purchase $4,000, 900
German Government bonds-part

late last year the International
Swedish companies agreed to pur.
chase the first tranche Of $50
000, 900 to be taken up on August
80. 1890.
This investment will be made
by International Match without
any new financing on its own
account. Two years ago Swedish
Match Company and its Ameri-
can subsidiaries, international
Match Corporation, purchased
from France $75, 1000, 900 S per cent
bonds at 93Ka. of which the Amer
ican company took $4,000, 900
principal amount. France, employ
ing part of its present tremendous
wealth in the reduction Of its debt,
announced last March that it
would retire this $75, 5,OOO, 900 loan
at 1031a. with a profit of some
$500, 900 to the match concerns
and Kreuger and Toll Company,
the Swedish holding company,
where control Of the match com.
panieS lies.
The funds for the purchase OF
$50, ,0O0, 900 German bonds will be
taken from the proceeds of the
retirement of the International
Match portion of the French loan
The $125, ,0O0, 900 German bonds
have a maximum maturity Of So
years, bear a 6 per cent rate and
are to be taken by the Swedish.
International group at 90. In con.
nection with this loan, the largest
ever extended by the Kreuger
interests, the German government
made an agreement ceding to the
match companies the major part
of the match business in Ger
many, including the sole right
to the importation and exporta
ton of matches.

OIL PRODUCTION
DECREASES

TULSA, Okla, Aug. 13.-Daily
average production of crude oil
in the United States for the
week ended August 9 totaled
2,478,259 barrels, a decrease of
2O,104 barrels, according to the

output increased 11,196 barrels
daily. Production in the week
ended August 10, 1929, averaged
2,933,781 barrels a day.
Last weeks decline was due
principally to settlement of pro-
ration problems in Darst Greek

Z barrels daily, output being 1O6,
376 barrels a day. All Texas
fields excluding the Gulf Coast

GO R n DAMAGE
LESSSER|OUS
THAN FEARED
By LEWIS HANEY

No one can say yet what the
net results Of the drought will be.
Obviously the partial destruction
Of growing crops can hardly be a
benefit, but both history and
re- on show that the present
situation need not be as serious as
some fear, and we do not yet
know how Seat the damage has
been. Speculative sentiment gen.
orally gets too bearish under such
circumstances.
In the first place, the corn crop
is less important than wheat and
cotton in affecting business condi-
tions, and it is the corn crop that
is suffering the greatest damage.
Corn is largely used in feeding
live stock. It is not much ex-
ported, and is not so important in
railway traffic E. wheat. It is not
the farmers leash CROP"
A smaller corn crop may help
the wheat farmer under the
present conditions, and wheat is
probably the most important crop
in its business effects. This year
we have q large carry over Of
wheat and the price has fallen
to very low levels. The decline
in corn production will cause
much wheat to be fed to live
stock, thus giving an outlet for
the surplus. This is not the
most desirable use for wheat, but
is much better than none.
If we must have crop failure,
it is better that 1t should come
in the corn crop.
Moreover, we cannot consider
the number of bushels only. We
must also consider the price per
buShel. Sometimes smaller
number of bushels gives a larger
total value for the crop; in 1901,
for example, a decrease Of IS per
cent in the corn crop brought
such high prices that the total
value of the crop was consider
ably increased. The income OF
corn farmers was apparently
greater.
If higher grain prices should re-
suit in checking the general de-
cline in commodity prices, the
business situation might be some
what relieved. Everywhere, buyers
are now reducing purchases TO
minimum because Of the fear that
prices will go lower. Sterilization
of commodity prices is one OF the
most desirable developments, for
it would encourage business men
to make more normal purchases.
Even if farmers suffer, a halt in
price declines would tend to Stimu-
late buying. We should remem
ber these things, and also that
there is still uncertainty as to how
much damage has been done.
There is still reason to hope that
the bears may be painting the pic
ture too black.
OF course, no one who has the
best interests of the country at
heart can be pleased with the
drought spectacle. It is not a
bullish factor. Even if the total
value of the crops is increased the
income will be poorly distributed.
Some manufacturing and mer-
camille industries, too. are likely
to be injured, and this has been
an important factor in the stock
market recently.
But am not going to get
pessimistic until we really know
how great the damage is. Even
then there are several compenSat-
ing conditions. And we have an
administration in Washington
which is admirably fitted to deal
with just such emergencies as
floods and droughts.

EMBARGO AGAINST
EUROPE SUGGESTED
Senator Moses Offers Loss of U. S.
Trade as Weapon Against
Tariff Threat.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May S0.-Commenting
Tuesday on talk of possible European
retaliation If the United States raises
its tariff, Senator George H. Moses said
that I'VE are not without a weapon If
retaliation is the order of the day"
I'VE can put an embargo on articles
and materials which this country alone
produces and which they obtain from
no Others"
Senator Moses made his suggestion in
an interview given as he returned with
Mrs. Moses from vacation abroad.
He declared, however, that he had
heard of retaliation here and retalia-
ton there, but do not know of any,
thing definite save possible reports from
France and Canada
why should Europe want to invoke
retaliation" he asked, when our i'm
ports from her are $1,400, 900 900? If
you contrast this immense figure with
the 1928, 000. 900 exports from this coun-
try on which France would raise a tariff
the latter figure is small indeed"

HOP WITH SILVER
FOR PARTY DENIED
Story of Sending Army Plane
60 "Save" Dawson Dinner
Is Called Fiction.

Stories of death-defying fight al
dusk through a heavy fog to carry sill
verware from the National Capital To
the Long Island estate of F. Trubee
Dawson, Assistant Secretary of War fol-
Aeronautics, to save" a dinner party
are branded by War Department on
cizls as pure fiction.
According to the story, which was
sent out from New York. the Davisons
were giving dinner party at their
Sands Point estate Wednesday night
and had invited a number of diStin-
gLlished guests. Just before the guests
began to arrive, according to the story,
it was discovered there was not sufi-
Gent Silverware. Mr.. Dawson, accord
ing to the tale, thereupon telephoned to
his home in this city and ordered that
the necessary tableware be sent to Boil
ling Field, put aboard an Army plane
and flown Immediately to Mitchell Field,
Long Island.
Forced Down by Fog.
The stories then went on to say that
Lieut.. W. j. Willis, Army Air Corps. in
the role of a modern Paul Revere,
dashed out by air into the gathering
gloom to rescue the dinner party. VIII
lis was forced down by fog at Trenton,
". j., and, so the stories stated, the
silver did not arrive.
AS matter of fact. it was stated at
the War Department Secretary and
Mrs. Dawson were in the National Cap
ital Wednesday night and had been for
some time. There was no dinner party,
and there were no plans for q dinner
party at Sands Point.
Lieut.. Willis flight from Boiling Field
to Mitchell Field was in the ordinary
line of duty. He carried no silverware.
When he encountered fog in New Jer-
sey, he landed at Trenton to await
better weather.
One Possible Basis for Story.
The only possible foundation for the
story, according to the War Department,
is that several days ago Secretary Davi-
son sent box OF, silverware to Boiling
Field, with the request that it be taken
to Mitchell Field, N. Y, whenever there
happened to be a plane which had the
necessary space going there on regular
duty. He left specific directions that
there was to be no special flight.
Yesterday morning Lieut.. c. w. Cous-
land took of from Boiling Field with
an Lbs keystone bombardment plane
which had been ordered "ferried" to
Mitchell Field for duty there. The sill
yerWare was put aboard the plane and
noWn 70 New York, arriving at Mitchell
Field yesterday morning.
