Three short weeks ago wheat was still in the doldrums, not worth the price of the sacks quoted variously at q to 27c per bushel. This week Montana hard wheat was quoted upwards of a dollar in Seattle. During that time the available supply has not materially changed, nor has cur ability to consume it. Why, then, was the price so low and why, now, thus higher? What measure of thanks is due the Farm Board and it's destruction methods? Must we still believe that hard and irrevocable law of supply and demand was re- sponsible for both extremes in prices? ;,

A TIMELY PLEA

Representative Celler, of New York, has made an appeal to President Hoover in behalf of unemployed Americans that will also interest unemployed Cana dians, and deserves indorsement by the thoughtful citizens of the United States and Canada.
 MT. Celler urges MT. Hoover to open negotiations for a reci- procity treaty between Canada and the United States that will revive trade between the two countries and bring back pros perity to both.
 As a result of extortionate schedules in our tariff law which have provoked Canada to retail ate with excessive increases in her own tariff schedules, Mir. Celler points out that "our trade with Canada has suffered a decisive and impressive decline. both as to exports and imports. !"
 Unless these new tariff walls are lowered, Americans will lose a large part of their Canadian market. And the peoples of both countries will be penalized by this fatuous tariff warfare.
 The swift and sensible way to end this economic strife between the next-door neighbors of North America is not by the log rolling method of general tariff revision, but by the scientific method of reciprocity.
The Alaskan., 1931-11-20

Closer commercial relations between Canada and the United States will bring new prosperity to the peoples of both countries.
 A reciprocity treaty negotiated by President Hoover now could be and doubtless would be ap- proved by the new congress which convenes next December.
 Toward the negotiation of such treaty, the leadership of action is essential.
 The American people will earnestly hope that the timely appeal of Representative Celler to President Hoover will not fall upon deaf Seattle P.I.

DETROIT, May 14.--One Of the big
gest burdens of the automobile indus
try is one of its own creation-the used
car. The industry has met and solved
problems of export business, of produic-
ton control production costs, merchan-
dising organization and a multitude of
other difficulties that had their incep-
ton when the building" of motor cars
was replaced by the manufacture" of
such vehicles. A satisfactory solution of
the used car problem, however, still re-
mains to be achieved.
Admittedly responsible for an enor-
nous annual charge against the indus
try, the used car presents a more COM
plicated dificulty than any other single
phase Of the making and merchandising
of motor cars.
Various solutions have been suggested
from time to time, both from within
and from without the industry. While
certain features of some of these plans
had merit and some of them were tried
out, in the main none has proved wholly
acceptable to the industry.
Plans Considered.
There have been junking plans; there
have been proposals for the organiza-
ton within the industry of corpora
ton to handle all of It's used cars; there
have been proposals for the arbitrary
fixing of trade-in allowances and plans
for the most economical process of re-
conditioning used cars.
The junking plans have received con-
siderable attention, the Ford Motor
Co., particularly having undertaken the
reclamation of wornout cars on a large
scale. In junking, however the industry
alone bears the entire burden and the
disposition of the average motor car
owner to get the most from his car linn
its the application of the scrapping
process to cars out of commission

'DULLCURB TRADING

NEW YORK, May 14-Curb stock
prices worked into new low levels for
the movement today in trading that
could only be classed as stagnant. The
ticker was idle for minutes at time
and sales were made in small blocks.
However, prices did not work so
sharply lower as on the big beard,
owing to the Streets concentration on
railroad stocks, CT which the curb has
few. Pennroad, the only carrier issue
to display any activity. was unchanged
at SIS.
The utilities were the target for the
selling. Electric Bond & Share, the
accepted market leader, was only OF
fracticnally at 413s, but United Light
& Power A dropped heavily to 20s4,
of nearly points and within q small
fraction Of the low price for the year
