DRUG TRADE FORMS
new ASSOCIATION
High Standard of Products and
Control of Output Are OBJ
jects of Movement.
Special Dispatch to The Star,

NEW YORK, May 29.-The s2,000,-
100000 drug industry. which relatively
has suffered less than other American
trades during the depression, announced
today the formation of the Drug Insti-
tue of America, Inc. through which all
divisions of the business will unite un-
der the provisions of the pending ma
tional industrial recovery act.
Patterned somewhat along the lines
Of the American Iron and Steel Insti-
tute and the American Petroleum Insti-
tute, the new drug organization will
seek to maintain a high standard of
products, control output, maintain fair
prices and wages and eliminate unfair
competition 1t will likewise undertake
a vast research program, both from a
production and distribution point Of
view.
1t may undertake cooperative buying
of some raw materials in foreign mar
ketS, because crude drugs have risen
sharply since the United States aban-
doned the gold standard on April 20.
The failure of the average household to
restock its family medicine chest caused
the retail, and in some cases even the
wholesale druggist to permit supplies to
drop to unusually low levels so that de-
pleted inventories merely aggravated the
price rise in crude drugs caused by the
depreciating dollar.

INDUSTRY CONTROL
SCORED BY GROUP.
National Manufacturers
Body Says Measure Will
Retard Recovery.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Assailing the administration indus
trial recovery bill as it now stands, the
National Association of Manufacturers,
in statement issued yesterday, declared
the measure would "retard rather than
promote business recovery"
James A. Emery. counsel for the as
sociation, listing $4,000 manufacturers,
announced initiation of a drive to
change the measure when the Senate
Finance Committee hearings on the leg
islation are resumed tomorrow. Emery,
the announcement said would suggest
amendments to the industry control
section of the bill.
Predict Bureaucracy.
The association protested that the
proposed legislation would replace pri-
vate ownership and operation of busi-
ness with governmental bureaucracy"
increase competitive handicapS in home
markets by failing to provide import
control to correspond to increased price,
and mean the immediate and COM
plete unionization of all labor in all in
dustry and the closed shop"
The statement attacked the two-year
limitation clause for the Government
business-industry partnership. If bene-
fetal, the plan should be permanent,
and if not, it should never be put into
operation, the statement said
Cite State Socialism.
IF the Congress and the country are
determined upon State socialism" it
was added, ''let them enter upon it
with their eyes open and not with any
hasty misapprehe that the whole
plan is only temporary expedient, and
hence of little permanent consequence"
Referring to revenue sections of the
bill, the manufacturers said they pre-
ferred the general sales tax rather than
increased gasoline levies, boosted income
tax rates and the proposed folly and
injustice OF taxing corporate dividends
in the hands of recipients
The statement made it clear the good
intentions of the President were not i'm
pugned.

IMPROVED BUSINESS

Guaranty Trust Finds Current Re

Sees Prospect of Recovery.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 29.-The fact that
substantial upturn in business has
taken place without ANY appreciable
monetary manipulation" seems truly
encouraging" says the current issue OF
the Guaranty Trust Co.'S Monthly Re
view of Business.
President Roosevelt" it adds, has
announced that the extraordinary pow
ers conferred upon him by the inf1a-
ton amendment to the farm bill will
be exercised only when, as and If they
seem to be required. There is ground,
therefore for the hope that the current
movement may proceed with sufficient
momentum to forestall the use Of these
drastic and dangerous experiments in
currency tinkering"
The Review mentions several reasons
for believing that ''the recent signs OF
improvement reflect, in part at least,
the operation of genuinely constructive
factors in the underlying situation. "
One is the fact that depression seldom
runs so long without "effecting the
necessary readjustments and laying the
groundwork for a sound recovery

Business Notes

NEW YORK, May 29-The Standard
Statistics Co. in its weekly summary
of business says:
The pace of recent business shows
no sign of slackening, because Of gov
ernmental efforts or other reasons.
Electric power output has recorded a
further moderate advance over the cor
responding level of last year. freight car
loadings have continued to expand, and
steel mill activity, which a week ago
showed some signs Of a possible let
down, has taken another vigorous squirt.
The extent to which heavy lines of in
dustry have participated in the move
ment makes a highly favorable show
ing, although the real test Of revival
may be deferred until the period of
normal Summer dullness or the ensuing
Autumn expansion.
The car service division of the Ameri-
can Railway Association reports that
class l railroads of the United States
placed in service 1893 new freight cars
during the first four months of 1888
This compares with 1,341 new cars for
the same period last year.

Reynolds Spring Co.. announces that

debts which originated in the war
and postwar period. 1t is neces-
sary that values of commodities,
homes, farms, real estate, Securi-
ties and other property be re-
stored to approximately the level
where these debts we're incurred.
Q-Will the RIGS currency eX-
pansion program bring about re-
lief?
No. It only can help temper
arily. It means merely shifting the
debt from one place to another.
We can not borrow our way out
of these stupendous inflated debts.
Q-Many persons believe we
face a permanent overproduction
in cotton, wheat and other major
commodities. What do you think?
Al do not agree. The SURPRISES
are only temporary. When cur
rency expansion and revaluation
have been carried out We will find
a world demand for SURPRISES
which will quickly absorb them
and may bring a shortage.
Q-What effect would eXpan-
sion have on the foreign debts?
Alt would help adjust them.
These people did not borrow our
gold. In fact, we acquired much
of their gold. They borrowed our
commodities-cotton at so cents,
wheat at So, labor at $40 a day
at levels far higher than those
existing today. 1t neither is fair
nor possible to insist that they re-
