BIC QUESTION
 TO WAIT UNTIL
 1882 CAMP PA|CN
Study of Stabilizing Com modity Dollar $ Purchas-
 ing Power Is Delayed
By FRANK I. WELLER

tASS0cfateQ freSS Farm E0ltOr)
 WASHINGTON, June 20.-While President Hoover was said to have listened with interest to the Am- erican Farm Bureau Federation's request for U ssucy of means for stabilizing the purchasing power of the dollar, little action was antici- pated before the 1882 campaign.
 The question indirectly involves numerous political measures, pos sibly revival of battle scared silver issues and certainly the fact that money values will enter largely into the next Presidential cam paign.
 Y Parity of Exchange
 It is implied in the bureaus re- quest that gold would be listed with 500 other commodities so that all would fluctuate together and the parity of exchange would be con- stant.
 Commodity values go up and down ordinarily under the assump- tion that supply and demand deter mine prices. The bureau holds that prices are determined by the rate of exchange, or the relationship of :he commodity dollar to the gold dollar.
 Sfahilixation
 Stabilization would mean that the dollar earned by selling a com modity always would bear the same relationship to the value of the gold dollar.
 When the gold dollar becomes dear, on account of gold scarcity or other reasons, it takes more con- modity dollars to buy gold dollar It is just way of saying that il takes more of a commodity to be worth a dollar in gold.
 Likewise, exchange requires less of a commodity when gold is more abundant and easier to get.
 No plan of stabilization is pro- posed by the bureau although il believes "the situation could be helped by proper handling of the discount and rediscount rates by the Federal Reserve Board"

OUTLOOK POOR FOR INDUSTRY,
 GILBERT SAYS
Packers Face Certain Loss of Money, Says A. P.
 Corporation Head

If the Alaska canner breaks even this year, he will be very agreeably astonished." That is the view voiced here today by Jack Gilbert, General Manager of the Alaska Pacific Salmon Corporation, making his first trip to Juneau this year.
 we are entering the season under the conviction it will cost us money I do not see any way in which we can even swap dollars, and il we get out of the pack the financed we put into it this saeson, it is going to astound every one of us,'' he asserted
 MOury Makes Trip
 MT. Gilbert was accompanied here from Rake by Russell Moury, comp troller for the firm. The latter was for many years associated with the Pacific Coast Coal Company and as auditor visited Juneau with his family in 1927 They arrived late Friday afternoon on the Donna O., company service boat, and left for Port Althorp today.
 The Alaska Pacific canneries are employing all of the local seiners which have flshed for them in the past, if they desire to accept em- ployment, MT. Gilbert said. At the Rose Inlet plant, in the southern end of the Division, all of the Indian fishermen are working. Al Rake, where the same prices were offered, the Indians refused to ge out. The Port Althorp Indians were glad to accept the prices offered and are fishing as usual Prices Are Lower
 While it is true that we art not paying as high prices for fist as in the past few years, we are paying every cent that the product will bear MT. Gilbert said. Prices for canned salmon are, in many instances, little more than 50 per cent of what we were receiving two years ago. Naturally, under such conditions, t is impossible for us to pay the same for fish that WE paid when our product was bring ing good prices and the demand was commensurate with the sup ply"
 MT. Gilbert declined to comment on the current seasons pack pros poets. Anything in this connec- tion would be merely speculative and without weight. Like virtually every other industry, the salmon packing business is fighting it's way out of one of the worst periods oi depression it has ever experienced Our operations, naturally, reflect that situation. Our company, and others engaged in the same indus try, is doing everything 1t can te furnish what employment it car locally to the end that it may give some relief here and prevent, il possible, the more serious aspects of depression in the Territory"
