defeat sterilization attempts
The board has ordered cotton held
for another year and wheat sold for
next year at the rate of 5000 900 BUSH

The sterilization wheat was bought
at the average price of 1897 cents a
bushel and cotton at 1873 cents per
pound. Loans made by the board TO
the Grain Sterilization Corporation, with
which to buy wheat on June 80, totaled
$l60, l48,762. Besides this the corpora
ton borrowed from banks $4,000. 600
and had other liabilities of $4,927, 491
bringing the total investment on that
date to S248, 076,253 on 257.136 ST.
bushels Since then 47,500000 have
been sold TO foreign governments and
20,000,000 in domestic markets at
prices ranging between 49 and 90 cents
The Cotton Sterilization Corporation
had received loans of S74,953, 38l on
June 80 borrowing in addition $35,-

The amount invested in cotton, there

The full cost of the cotton opera

the next few years are needed to bring

The board pointed out that its first
two years Of life were marred by
general widespread business unsettle-

exceptional severity" 1t thus answered

was definitely ascertained today that the
American Government Is planning no
reprisal against recent increases by the
British government in their tariff
After extensive study, President
Hoover has learned that only l.6 per
cent of the American goods normally
imported into Great Britain will be
affected by the rates to be instituted
there
The British action will weigh far more
heavily upon other countries than the
United States.
Mr.. Hoover has been convinced by his
study that American foreign trade,
particularly with Great Britain is less
competitive than was generally thought.
The increases. he feels, should be
considered the domestic prerogs tive of
Great Britain and should not be criti-
cized by the United States.
May Increase Exports.
One OF the effects of England's go
ing off the gold standard m 9ht be a
lowering in the costs of prod, ction in
that country and a consel INT in
crease in exports to the United States.
President Hoover. however, has found
no such increase in British exports to
the United States in the past two
moHIHS ana is proceeding on Ine theory
that if. in the long run, Britain's pro-
duction costs should turn out to be
consistently lower, the United States
could offset this through appropriate
action by the Tariff Commission, so
far as this country would be effected.
Except for an increased competition
with Great Britain in the coal trade, the
President has seen no other major eff
fects upon United States commernn
from England's suspension of the gold
standard
Mr. Hoover had many recommended
lions for the OBrien appointment.
