REPORT OF OIL MERGER
CONFIRMED IN NEW YORK
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 6.-Bankers
for the Pacific Western Oil Corporation
confirmed the reports from Los Angeles
of the acquisition of the company by
the j. Paul Getty interests.
1t was stated that the Getty in
terests had for some time owned a
substantial amount of Pacific Western
shares, but the bankers were unable to
estimate the amount of additional
stock acquired to swing control. The
bankers also said that they could not
offer any figures as to the amount of
money involved in the transaction.
The Pacific Western Co. was formed
in 1928 to take over the Petroleum Sc
curitieS Co., which was organized by
Edward L. Doheny. The company has
about $4,000 acres of oil and gas lands
in California of which only COM
paratively small part is developed.
The company has capitalization of
100000 shares Of stock and funded
debt Of about $17,4O0,00O. The
shares are listed on the New York
Curb market, and have been quoted
around SIS recently.

CANADA SEEKING
WAYS TO EXPAND
British Tariff Changes Might
Prove of Great Economic
Advantage.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


TORONTO, February 6.-While the
financial affairs of the whole world de-
pend to a great extent upon events
in the East and upon results of the
Disarmament Conference, CanadaS
commercial prosperity hangs in very
marked degree also upon the dellbera-
tiCns of two local legislative bodies.
If the powers at Geneva should agree
on disarmament, it is felt that this
continent should soon respond COM
mercially to the consequent assurance
Of peace. If, in addition, the Imperial
Parliament at Westminster should de-
eide upon a three-degree system OF
tariffs, similar to that of Canada itself,
the success then of the imperial trade
conference at Ottawa in July is fairly
well assured. If Great Britain can
make different trade arrangements with
the various nations, according to the
privileges granted TO her goods, 1t
should, consequently, be possible for her
to secure markets for all her surplus
products
Canada is at present conducting a
survey of the various commodities that
1t could economically agree to take from
the mother country. If this country
can therefore agree to buy its supplies
of cotton, coal and most of its steel
from other parts of the British Empire,
market for Canadian agricultural and
animal products and live stock is auto
matically assured. But unless Canada
can offer a sufficiently attractive quid
pro quo. such towns as Manchester,
Birmingham and Sheffield may be eX-
pected to put up a stiff fight against
free admission of Canadian wheat to
the British Isles.
The Canadian Parliament has on its
agenda such matters as the tariff and
preparations for the trade conference
as we'll as its railway problems, the
Beauharnois Power Co. and the pos
slble agreement to undertake in con-
junction with the United States in the
near future the development Of water
power in the international stretch of
the st. Lawrence River. 1t is expected
that the two railway systems will still
be allowed to continue as separate COM
panieS, while uniting, for the sake of
economy, in various services to the
public. The BeauharnoiS Power Co.
will probably undergo thorough reor-
ganization, a measure preSaged by the
new directorate appointed this week at
the urgent demand of the banks that
have lent money for this development.
1t is not wholly unlikely that the op-
position of the Quebec members of
both political parties, may result in
delay of any canalization Of the ST
Lawrence until Canada is in actual
need of the power to be utilized and is
also in a financial position to warrant
the expenditure of the huge sum of
money necessary for such undertakings

"SH0RTS" INCREASE
MARKET OPERATIONS
Gain of 758,193 Shares Reported
by Exchange as of Feb
ruary l.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 6.-The total
short interest on the New York Stock
Exchange increased by 1881 1913 shares
from last December 81 to February J.,
or 26.6 per cent, it was revealed today
in figures made public by the exchange.
On December 81, when the exchange
made public its last figures on the
short interest, the total stood at 2,942, =
O72 shares. On February l they stood
at 360O,265. From January 18 TO Feb
ruary l there was an uninterrupted
gain from day to day
The February l total was the largest
since last December II, when the total
stood at 3,698,320.
Coincident with the gradual increase
IN short sales, the premium charged
Tor stock for 'loaning purposes" has
increased moderately The rate quoted
today on United States Steel stood at
3/l6 point
On 3/16th basis, the daily charge
imposed upon shorts desiring to sell
United States Steel amounted to sl8.75
Tor each 100 shares so loaned This
rate, which is regarded as an obstruc-
ton to free short selling. was said by
brokers' to have discouraged some Gus
toners from putting out new short
lines.
In a few brokerage houses it was
stated that they had been approached
by some Of their customers. who ex-
pressed a desire to loan stocks they
own outright to spectators who wished
TO go short. Although stock exchange
houses are permitted under the regula-
tionS Of the exchange to loan stock
thus owned, it was said that few we're
doing so. This absence of free Offering
OF stocks for the convenience of the
short interest, it was further explained,
had resulted in sending up the price to
bear spectators seeking such accom-
modation
The Stock Exchange is still restrict
ing short selling. All short sales COM
ing to the floor must be SO designated
on the sale slip, and no short sale can
be executed at a price lower than the
preceding transaction.
The increase in the short interest
during January was regarded as some
what reasSuring by some brokers, who
had felt that the short interest was SO
low that the markets technical position
was becoming imperiled

STEEL PRODUCERS
IN HOPEFUL MOOD
Seasonal Influences Are Ex-
peCted to Result in In
crease of Orders.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

PITTSBURGH, February 6.-Such
little improvement as was visible in
steel has come to a halt, and some OBJ
servers even feel that a little ground
has been lost in the last week From
a broad viewpoint it would appear that
the recent improvement was merely re-
covery from the special dullneSs Of Just
before and during the holidays.
Assuming steel ingot production in
the last week Of January at 81 per
cent, a figure which NAV be used to
express this weeks activity also, jan
uary as a whole averaged about 25 per
cent comparing with 23lp per cent Off
cially reported for December, made up
of a higher rate early in the month and
q lower rate in the latter part Thus
January as a whole would average above
December, but the present rate would
be only about the December / rate, and
would be under November, at 30 per
cent, and October, at 27aa per cent.
There were marked monthly decreases
in steel production after last March and
into October, and it may be correct to
say that during the last four months
steel has been humping along at the
bottom. There is a theory that the If
reduCibe minimum was reached four
months ago, leaving no room for any
thing but improvement. and there is a
hope that the actual steel demand of
the last four months has not fully
eQUaled replacement, upkeep and other
requirements of the country after full
allowance is made for tte reduced pace
at which everything is going.
While there is no visible indication at
the present time of improvement either
in the trend of actual buying or in
broadening inquiry or in definite pros
poets Of the respective steel consuming
industries. steel producers do expect
this month to total better than last
month in actual turnover. They
count both upon seasonal influences. as
Spring is approaching, and upon i'm
provement in general underlying con-
ditions Construction prospects, gen.
orally speaking are not promising but
some increase in Out-Of-dOOrS work Is
fully expected merely by reason of
change in the weather.
Favorable results are expected to
work out with reasonable prOmptneSS
from functioning of the ReconstruC-
ton Finance Corporation. From this
influence the 10 per cent railroad wage
reduction and the extra emergency
freight charges of a month ago the
railroads are placed in much better po-
sition. and in time this is expected to
work out in some railroad steel buying,
against virtually nothing in recent
months.

TRUCK REGULATION
ACTION is DOUBTED
Observers Do Not Believe Congress
Will Act on Couzens Bill
This Session.
BY GEORGE E. DOYING

After week of hearings by the Sen
ate Committee on Interstate Commerce
ON the CouzenS bill for regulation of
interstate motor buses and trucks, the
belief OF observers is intensified that
1t Will not be possible at the present
session Of Congress to agree upon legis-
latlon for control of trucks
At the same time 1t was made ap-
parent that if any legislation should be
enacted to include contract truck car
rlerS, even to the extent merely of re-
quiring a permit from the Interstate
Commerce Commission, the law will
promptly be taken to the courts on the
ground of unCOnStitutionality
All the individuals and organizations
that have appeared before the Senate
committee are favorable toward inter-
state bus regulation, but most of the
testimony so far presented has been
unqualitiedly against truck legislation.
Leo J. Flynn, Interstate Commerce
Commission examiner, who conducted
the investigation last year of the posi-
bilities of rail and truck coordination,
declared himself in favor of the regula-
tion of trucks as well as buses, includ-
ing the rates of both classes of service
He told the Senate committee that pub
lie transportation media in the United
States are in "a great transitional pc
ROD from which the railroads prob
ably will emerge better and stronger
and the bus and truck lines will have
found their productive niche.
When representatives of the State
regulatory commissions appear before
the committee they too. will advocate
legislation for control of trucks as we'll
as busses, and it is expected they will
present bill designed to replace that
introduced by Senator CouzenS. Nothing
has been done in the House so far dur
ing this session toward any bus or truck
legislation.
The big guns of the truck interests
were brought into action during the
first weeks hearings before the Senate
committee. Iarue Brown of Boston,
general counsel for the National Auto
mobile Chamber OF Commerce, particu-
larly criticized the proposal to require
contract truck operators to have Fed
eral permits.

The generally favorable immediate re-
sDOnse TO the enactment of the recon-

with an insiStenCe that relief shall be
prompt and that it shall extend to the

ing amCng bankers is that the delay
has already been unfortunate and that
if action had been taken six months
ago much of the distress experienced
since September would have been
avoided
UnqueStiOnably many interior banks
are carrying heavy load and are bend
ing every energy to bridge over until

from wheat held in storage in hope of

somewhat discounted through borrow
ing, but there should be a helpful ef-

fortunate factor is that the market has
given so little profit on the transactions
Last Autumn, when harvest was over,
