HOPEFUL
AS To CUBA
International News Service

Discounting reports that the
lan14ng of American marines In
Cuba was imminent, Secretary of
State Hull today said he lclt the
fundamental situation S in the
Island Republic was little better
Although he described disorders
in parts of the interior as dis
quieting. He said the general
situation appeared more hopeful,
He added that he did not feel in
position at the present time to
explain the developments which
led him to this belief.
This was the first optimistic
expression made by Hull since
the establishment of the new
government of President Grau San
Martin. 1t followed a telephone
conversation with Ambassador
Sumner WelleS.
In regard to possibility OF
American troops being sent ashore
to protect United States citizens,
Hull said the situation had not
yet reached the stage where it
was thought necessary even to
order Americans to come down
under shelter of the warshipS
guns,

Success Seen

union labor leaders were still try
ing to reach an agreement.
Success Seen
On the basis of approval Of the
coal code by individual operators,
NRA officials said shortly before
noon that large majority Of the
industry will have signed the code
by mid afternoon.
Johnson's office was notified
that the biggest operators in the
Appalachian field would come to
his office to affix their sigma
lures.
The wage contract was still in
the process of negotiation.
After a long and dramatic fight
to bring the warning factions in
the coal industry into agreement
with the Recovery Administration
labor, and themselves, johnson
called a halt to all negotiations
until 2:15 today.
AS the wage contract session was
adjourned, johnson announced 6
formula had been reached thai
was expected to bring about rec
ognition of the union and the wage
contract today.
Johnson, John L. Lewis, preSi
dent of the United Mine Workers
of America; J. E. A. Morrow, presi
dent of the Mellon-controlled
Pittsburgh Coal Company. and
other operators and union leaders
plainly showed the effect of their
long session.
Conscious Of the situation in
the Pennsylvania coal fields
where blood already has been
shed, the group continued t h e
negotiations with some of the
members almost asleep in their

PRICE CLAUSES
IN SALES CODE
ONLY A TEST
Recovery Officials to Scrap
Provisions If They Prove
to Be Unsatisfactory

All the price.fixing, resale agree
ment, and sale discount restric.
tions now contained in the pro-
posed master retail code are
merely experimental and will De
abandoned after period OF trial
If the NRA does not like the way
they work.
Recovery administration Of
ficials who have worked on the
code made this clear tooay.
Price-fixing provisions for the
general retailers are aimed at
disastrous" price cutting and
"cut-throat" price competition.
Officials Fear Hardship
Many administration officials
expressed the fear, however, that
consumer-gouging, manufacturer
profiteering, and general hardship
to most retailers will result from
the provisions as they now stand.
The vast majority Of retailers.
however. demand the cost plus
10 per cent provisions and the re-
covery administration felt obliged
to let them try out their radical
provisions.
Similar considerations viii gov
ern the NRA officials in respect
to the sale discount provisions re-
stricting druggists to sale OF ma
tionally advertised products at not
less than 81 per cent below their
advertised retail sale price.
Viewed As Radical"
The Administration views these
provisions as even more radical
than the cost-plus price fixing
provisions sponsored by the gen.
eral retailers. This is due to the
fact that. in effect. the druggists
are placing price competition in
the hands Of the manufacturers,
From a consumer standpoint
such an arrangement Is con
Sidered very dangerous, for where
price competition operated among
retailers as a healthy" influ
ence, preventing excessive prof
iteering at all times, it might
operate among manufacturers to
promote monopolistic gouging OF
all sorts.
Resale agreements of this sort
however, will be tried out.
