POOLING OF COPPER
STOCKS DISCUSSED
Present Surplus of 100000 Tons
May Be Used to Raise
Money.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

. OSNSAat Dl5pAtNH W AtC 0saI
NEW YORK, July 4-Non-ferrous
metals, especially copper, hold the
center Of the business stage. because of
declining quotations brought about by
reduced demand from most users.
Three prominent foreign members Of
Copper Exporters, Inc.-International
Nickel Co., Chile Copper Co., a sub
sidiary of Anaconda Copper, and the
Cerro de Pasco Copper Corporation
withdrew from that organization be-
cause OF the tariff Of 4 cents a pound
imposed on copper imports into this
country which went into effect June 81
The trade hears that some other
organization may succeed Copper Ex-
porters, Inc. and there is talk Of plae-
ing present refined copper stocks
amounting to more than 100000 tons,
! in a pool and issuing bonds against
them, as was done during the 1921 de-
preston.
Meanwhile a cut Of 81 a ton in lead,
the first in more than three months,
caused by increasing production, has
become effective. Zinc also has been
reduced 81 ton, or the same as the
cut a week ago, as producers seek to
lower stocks. Copper, despite the Accent
import duty, remains at 5ss cents q
pound. with so little demand for it
that the trade feels it will be months
before the huge stocks above ground
will be consumed and thus make the
present tariff effective.
At a meeting of Copper Exporters,
Inc, Thursday the withdrawal from
membership Of Andes Copper Mining
and Greene Cananea. also Anaconda
Copper and subsidiaries, and of Roam
Antelope was reported.
The immediate effect of the with
drawal of these foreign producers from
the export association has been the
underquoting of the price of 5la cents
a pound, c. !. f. European ports, by the
former export group members. With
Britain ready to lay tariff on copper,
it is possible that two export associa-
tions may be formed-one within and
one without the Empire.

RAILROAD EQUIPMENT
FIRMS SEE GAINS
Carriers Expected to Award Large
Orders for Requirements With
Turn in Business.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July Although rail-
road insolvencies are more numerous
today than at any time since the
9os, the railroad equipment COM
panies, which hive felt the pinch of
railroad economies, continue confident
on the longer term prospect OF their
business.
Railroad equipment business normally
flows by fits and starts. The industry
has long lean periods, in which large
backlog of potential business IS built
up, and then falls into a period Of
quickened activity. Some leading ex-
ecutiyes in the equipment field contend
that such O revival cannot be far away
now. They base their hopes on the
sharp decline in railroad orders during
the past several years.
Unlike many industries the railroad
equipment business did not reach its
peak in 1929. The peak of locomotive
building was 1920, when 1872 were
built in preparation for the return of
the roads from Government to private
control. Throughout 1925-1928, inclu-
sive, the yearly average held substan-
TALLY above 1000. In 1929, it stood at
LOGS; in $780, 1923, and in 1881, 1893.
The estimated total for 1882, based on
RAILWAY age computations, is %.
In three years, 1929-1931, inclusive,
the total of freight cars built was 85,-
403, 77,097 and 1854, respectively, and
passenger cars 1874, 1904 and 219, re-
spectively. Estimated 1882 totals for
the groups are 400 freight and 85
passenger cars.
In the meantime, the roads have
been getting along as best they could
on existing equipment With few ex-
ceptions, they have bought locomotives
and cars only when actually compelled
to do so to replace obsolescing equip
ment. But railroad executives, as we'll
as leaders of the equipment field, have
shown little hesitancy in predicting
that the carriers would again become
liberal buyers as soon as earnings i'm
prove enough to justify such pur-
chaseS.

SENATOR REED SEES
DANGERS IN CHANGE
Uncertainty Will Displace Business
Revival if Hoover Is Defeated.
He Tells 0hioans.
BY the Associated Press.

oy tne Associated Press.
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio November s.
Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania
told a Republican meeting last night
business is reviving and that the revival
would continue if President Hoover were
reelected.
Reed said that even should q new
administration function as efficiently as
the present one. economic conditions
would be set back by change.
Three months OF indecision that
would elapse between the election and
next March 4-if the next President be
OF a different political party-would do
no good to business" Reed said.
If Roosevelt were elected and carried
out his promise to revise the tariff that
period of uncertainty would be extended
by at least l8 months during which we
would be considering a new tariff bill.
For 18 months the country would
stew around in desperate uncertainty.
Who would dare build a mill when he
didn't know what Congress was going
to do to protect what the mill would
produce?"
The Pennsylvania Senator said he had
spoken in Ohio, in upstate New York
and in New England during recent
weeks and that sit is perfectly obvious
the drift to Mr. Hoover is marked in
those regions, and that the more Roose-
welt and Alfred E. Smith speak the
stronger the drift becomes"

charge was inexorably undermining
their whole economic and social struc-
ture. In desperation, those who had
fought manfully to comply with the
obligations imposed upon them had lost
all heart for the future and were stead
lily coming to the conclusion that moth
ing short Of a revolution, such as that
which had taken place in Russia, Of
fered them any hope of deliverance.
Moved by the Ambassadors picture
Of what was happening to the common
run of men and women In that country.
I took up that problem, not alone from
the interest of this great mass of hu
manity but knowing that if that nation
should fall the reactions upon the rest
Of the world and the United States
would be irreparable. President Won
Hindenburg, knowing Of Mr.. Sacketts
visit, sent me an appeal OF character
between heads of nations without prece
dent in diplomatic history. That ap
peal was, for preservation of a great
people, that should use the good Offices
and prestige of the United States for
their rescue.
In order to give year in which the
world, particularly European nations,
could come to comprehension of what
this disintegration was doing to civili-
zation itself, proposed the postpone
ment Of all international debts for one
year.
This was not easy to accomplish. The
bitterness Of war hates and nationaGsm,
still rampant in Europe, made its ac-
ceptance doubtful. In order to make
sure that it would be accepted in our
country, I interviewed the leaders of
both Republican and Democratic par
Nd 70 nfu hot
was transpiring secured their approval
in sufficient number to assure that we
could complete the measure on our side
then resolved upon bold course. I
published the proposal within "a hours
after communication to the other coun-
tries in order that politicians of the
world might not thwart it through
processes of diplomacy.
Arrangements Not Easy.
Immediately after this act, for the
first time in the history of the world,
made personal, hourly use of the newly
installed transatlantic telephone and
talked with our Ambassadors in the
presence of the leaders of the nations.
I received whole-hearted and immediate
response from Signor Mussolini in Italy.
the same sympathetic response from
the Prime Minister of England. Fur
thermore, the governments of Belgium
and Poland, which you might think
would have retained more bitterness
from the war than any other nations,
responded instantly.
The arrangements were not easy, as
existing contracts were complicated in
their relationship between many ma
tions and it involved unequal sacri-
fees Day after day. night after night,
I was in communication first with one
Ambassador and then another, pro-
posing methods to meet difficulties
which arose, building up adjustments
amongst different nations, until finally
that year of postponement was secured.
And it was not merely a postpone
ment of year in the payments on
debts fer which I was seeking. I was
seeking for year in which Europe
could solemnly consider the situation
into which she was drifting. I was
seeking to remove from the mind of
the world the fears of debacle in civil
lization which were breaking down all
security Of credit and to bring to their
