been fixed by the N. r. A. for submis-
sion Of the required information.
Alfred Reeves. general manager. au-
thorized the announcement that all
companies within and outside the
chamber have been supplied with forms
for the required figures. but that thus
far only 10 or IL have returned them.
None Of these was large company.
Reeves said preparing and supplying
forms had taken considerable time and
that. since the procedure was unusual,
involving work having no precedent. the
N. r. A. is not pressing for extraord-
mary speed.
The forms call for no information
schedules. The chamber has for some
time collected production figures and
this 1t will continue aside from the reg
ular N. R. A. requirements.
At his press conference. johnson also
discussed the retail code, saying the
trade authority set up under the general
code which becomes effective next Mon
day would fix during the first part of
the week the amount of "mark-up" to
ne charged in all retail Sales
The minimum price provisions when
fixed, he said. will be mandatory on all
Enes OF trace coming under the code.
Thls statement was made in reply to a
question as to how phrsseology of the
code, which states that retailer
should" charge an allowance for labor
In his prices on top of the invoice cost
of goods, was to be interpreted
johnson repeated a previous state
ment that the allowance above invoice
would be approximately 10 per cent.
saying the one advantage of this figure
was that 1t definitely did not include
any profit to any merchant whatsoever.
To a suggestion that chain interests
might go to court If the mark-up were
made mandatory. johnson said
That's all right, we are not afraid of
any one taking it to court"
In reply to questions as to whether
food or groceries sold in drug stores,
mentS not coming under the food code
handled by the Farm Administration
would be covered by the loss limitation
provisions Of the N. r. A. retail code
johnson Said
II am going to insist that store 60

operations not be split up under more

of three members for the separate drug

1t appears very likely the next month
will witness a crafty game between them
and Mr.. Roosevelt. They will do every
thing possible to squeeze more definite
commitment out of him.
They will have many basic arguments
for their cause. One is foreign trade.

what to pay or how to pay unless some

may be necessary to insure each pur-
chase against Mr. Roosevelt's altering
the gold value of it while it Is in
transit.
Also, such a shifting system Of values
makes it almost absurd to try to talk
to the British about war debt payments
Or to talk tariffs to any one.
Maybe they can arrange payment in
Mr.. Melons aluminium. That is about
the only sacred price still left.
Only last week the heretofore sac
rosanct price of steel rails was read
justed, and now it is gold.
Spectators Did Part.
The current talk about taking the
dollar away from the international spec
ulators makes good reading, but that
is all.
Mr.. Roosevelt handed the dollar over
to the spectators when he went off
gold He did it deliberately to let them
hammer it down They did, for awhile,
until they found out he was using them
to get prices up here. However. the do
mestic inf1ationary psychology played
out about a month ago. When the dol
lar went lower, prices here did not go
up.
The truth is the international
money spectators hare Serued
their purpose in Mr.. Rooserelt's
scheme OF things. He has noW
discarded them
Mr. Roosevelt is supposed to have had
the case of a certain Wall Streeter in
mind when he talked about driving out
spectators.
This fellow aptly fits the Presidents
description of one who would not know
kernel of wheat if he saw one. 1t is
said in high places that he dropped
s7,000000 lately in the wheat market.

Premier Hard Worker.

Pledged to continue a policy Of inan-
cial toration, Premier Sarraut worked
ceaselessly since his designation as pre-
mier by the President to form 8! cab
met replacing that of NJ. Daladier.
which fell Monday.
There have been several previous
cabinet line-ups unofficially an
nounced. all of them showing several
ministers in the posts they occupied in
the former cabinet.
NJ. Sarraut, a popular senator, pub
Usher and radical Socialist party
member. sought during consultations
at the marine ministry, sought support
Of the whole Left wing, except Com
munists and Socialists, although he was
promised the backing of dissident So
cialists and scattered votes from tho
Center and Right parties.
Shortly after deciding definitely to
accept the commission to form a min
lstry he obtained enthusiastic indorse-
ment Of his program to balance the
budget at a conference with radical
Socialist colleagues and announced a
firm stand for gold against, imitation
and devalorization, for his and NJ.
Daladier's party as a bulwark and for
reductions in taxes and freiehts to en-
courage business.
His policy toward the League of Ma
tions and in foreign affairs would be
like that of NJ. Daladier, he said On
war debts his viewpoint was not made
known.
As a senator he was not required to
vote on the matter. but when the Her
riot cabinet fell friends said M Sar-
raut would have voted for payment.
Since that. however, circumstances
have changed and Parliament has
shown no disposition to pay or nego-
tiate until the British have settled.

Market insiders really believe the
Presidents drive to kill of the specu-
lators may work this time.
They say no speculator would be silly
enough to bet very much either way as
long as the President can ruin him by
changing the price of gold the same
day.
Skeptics protest in whispers now that
the program is an effort to make
a $50,000,000 tail wag a $4,000 900 900
dog
The annual output OF domestic
gold has run around $50, 900, 900.
The gold reSerue is about S4,000,-
100000
That is why the best money experts
in the Government wanted actual re-
duction of the reserve gold content in
the dollar now. They believed the the
ory of gold price purchases would not
work out to increase commodity prices
in the long run.

Deyaluation Explained.

The devaluation theory works out like
this:
BY bidding up the price of gold, Mr.
Roosevelt makes dollars less valuable in
terms Of gold. 1t takes more dollars to
buy the same amount of gold.
The idea is that all other commod-
ity prices follow the price of the basic
commodity, gold. As Mr.. Roosevelt bids
higher and higher for gold. commodity
prices are supposed to rise commensu-
rately
That is deraluing the dollar
continuously and progressively. 1t
is almost the same as il Mr..
Roosevelt directly eliminated q
gold grain from the dollar in
stead OF bidding up gold prices.
There is just one difference. That is.
he can always get out of the gold price
method without trouble. while the di-
rect elimination of gold grains Is
fortnight and final.
In other words, the gold price method
is temporary. while the direct devalu-
alton method is final.

MILK MARKETING
VIOLATION DENIED
HagerstoWn Distributors
Say They Are Not Subject
to Philadelphia Pact.
BY the Associated Press.

Nd, charged with violation Of the
ment. today insisted they were not sub
ject to the agreement because they were
not engaged in interstate commerce.
The five appeared at a hearing of
the agricultural adjustment admins
tration in response to summonses to
show cause why their licenses should
not be revoked for violation Of the code.
Hagerstown is included in the Philadel-
phia milk area.
D. Engle Wolfinger. counsel for the
group, said all of them lived in Wash
ington County, Maryland. that their
milk was produced and distributed
within that county, and that in some
cases the distributors produced the milk
themselves.
Because Of these facts We believe
the code does not apply to their busi-
ness as the defendants are not doing
an interstate business" Wolflnger said.
He added the defendants admitted
selling milk for cents quart instead
of the retail price of IL cents set by
the agreement, but said they were pay
ing the producer as much for the milk
as those companies charging the IL
cent retail price.
We feel We are not guilty Of viola
ting the code because the original in
tent of the agricultural adjustment act
was to increase the price to the pro-
ducer and the price We are paying Is
the code price when compared with
the price paid by other milk distribu-
tors" Wolf1nger said.
we contend We have the right to
subtract the freight rate between Ha-
gerstown and Philadelphia from the
retail price"
The milk dealers involved in the
case are w. S. Beckley. Charles Ever

ard E. Shank, all of Hagerstown. A
sixth respondent in the case, Edgar S.
Wolfkill did not appear. Wolfnger
