DOLLARS FALL HIT.
IN BRITISH DEBATE
Chamberlain Predicts Re.
versaI of Depreciation
This Autumn.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 10-The depreciation
of the American dollar in world ex-
changes Is largely unnatural and arti-
fetal, Neville Chamberlain, British
chancellor of the exchequer, declared In
the House of Commons today during
the debate on the governments policy
with regard to the World Economic
Conference. =.
The chancellor predicted reversal
of this process in the Autumn when
various factors will begin to work to
strengthen the dollar.
The deprecated dollar, he said, Is a
disturbing factor in the world situa-
ton, but we must remember that de-
probation is to a large extent unnat-
ural and artificial and is not based on
intrinsic economic and financial fac
tors. but IS chiefly the result Of specu-
lation.'
Seeks to Lift Prices.
Chamberlain declared Great Britain's
basic policy is the raising of wholesale
commodity prices.
He declared this was not possible by
monetary action alone, although Ger
tain monetary factors must be present
as a necessary preliminary to raising
the price level.
Maintaining Great Britain's middle
of -the-road policy between the gold and
non-gold countries, Chamberlain con-
cluded with the advice ito Keep our
heads"
He added that Great Britain also
must maintain the closest and friend
liest contact with representatives of all
countries.
The chancellor indirectly approved
President Roosevelts rejection Of a
world economic conference sterilization
plan.
He asserted that the declaration re-
jected by Mr. Roosevelt was pretty
weak stuff" 1t laid down, he added,
general principles, but was practically
confined to a declaration by the gov
ernments that they would do what they
could to check speculation in exchange.
The world economic conference
check has not dealt a mortal blow to
chances of an agreement on vital world
problems, declared the chancellor.
The parley, awaiting the outcome Of
the airing Of British policy in the
House Of Commons, nevertheless, again
was brought to a standstill waiting to
see whether Great Britain would throw
her support to the gold countries or
lean toward the development of the
sterling dollar bloc.
Lansbury Lauds Roosevelt.
George Lansbury, parliamentary
leader of the Labor party following Mr..
Chamberlain, declared, lone thing Mr.
Roosevelt has done Is that he has
thrown as on a screen the fact that
the productive power of the world must
be made blessing instead Of curse"
When Chancellor Chamberlain smiled

EUROPE WANTS ITS GOLD.
Drop in Dollar Held Major Reason for
Asking Metal From U. S.

NEW YORK, July 10 (R.-The de-
probation Of the American dollar to
around 10 per cent Of its gold standard
parity Is the major reason, bankers
state, for the decision of foreign coun-
tries to call home what remains Of their
earmarked gold now in the New York
Federal Reserve Bank.
When the United States left gold
and put an embargo on export ship
ments, an exception was made In the
case Of the yellow metal held here for
foreign account.
Gold holdings for this account total
ed some $400,000,000 at the time OF
the national bank holiday. Since then
approximately rs per cent has been
taken home.
According to international custom,
earmarked gold is regarded as a trust
fund, and it is considered unlikely there
win be any interference if foreign banks
desire their metal. There Is no free
market for gold in this country, bank
ing quarters explain, and as a result
central banks cannot sell America their
holdings except at loss.
The only free market for gold now
In existence is located In London. The
rate quoted there is substantial

BIC DAIRY PROFIT
SFOUND IN PROBE
One Found to Have Made
From 8 to 40 Per Cent in
Past Five Years.

One prominent Washington dairy has
made net profits ranging between 8 and
40 per cent during the past five years,
according to preliminary report of &C
countants who are checking its books,
Elwood H. Seal, special milk investigator,
revealed today.
The name of the distributor was not
made public because the study has not
been completed, Mr. Seal said. The
work of the accountants, however, he
reported, showed the firm had an per
cent profit in 1928, which had increased
by successive, jumps to "a per cent in
1881.
For the first five months Of 1892, the
report shewI the firm had a profit of
40 per cent.
Corps Of Accountants.
The study of books of the Washing
ton diaries Is being conducted by a
corps Of accountants, three from the
General Accounting Office and three
from the District auditors Office. Under
ing to determine the spread in costs OF
milk from the producer to the con-
sumner.
They also are seeking to establish the
profits to the local distributing firms, if
any Of the surplus" milk bought
from producers is being used here the
same as the basic" milk, for which they
have to pay the producers at higher
rate. They also are seeking to deter
mine II a monopoly in milk distribution
exists here.
The entire milk study is being made
for special Senate District subcom-
mittee.
Probe Favoritism Report.
Mr.. Seal today also started an inves-
tigation to determine the accuracy OF
a report that q local dairy Is charging
some of its customers lower rate than
others.
MI. Seal was told verbally last night
that one Washington milk consumer
had discovered that several of her &C
quaintances were being charged but II
cents a quart while other customers
were charged Is cents. When she called
the dairy and told them to discontinue
their service to her for this reason, Seal
was told, the dairy offered to sell to her
at IL cents a quart.
This customer, Seal also was inform
ed, later called a second dairy which was
reported to have said milk might be
sold in large quantities to apartment
house jewellers at II cents, but that in
small quantities the price would be 13
cents.
