statement today reviewing TN
field of their discussions sine
last Friday. 1t follows:
Gas stated yesterday, our dis
cussiOns on the questions fac
ing the world conference were
not designed to result in defipi-
tive agreements which must be
left to the conference itself.
But they showed that our two
governments were looking with
a like purpose and a close Simi-
larity of effort at the main OBJ
jectives of the conference and
were impressed by the vital
necessity of assuring interna-
tiOnal agreements for their
realization in the interests Of
the people of all countries.
PRICE LIFT NEEDED
"The practical measures which
are required for their reaIiZa-
tiOn were analyZed and ex-
plOred. The necessity for an
increase in the general level
of commodity prices was recOg-
nized as primary and funda-
mental. To this end stimuli.
taneOus action needs to be
taken both in the economic
and in the monetary field.
Commercial policies have to
be set to a new OrientatiOn.
There should be a cOnstruc-
tive effort to moderate the
network of restrictions Of all
sorts by which commerce is
at present hampered, such as
excessive tariffs, quotas, ex-
change restrictions, ETC."
Central banks should by
concerted action provide an ade-
quate expansion of credit and
every means should be used to
get the credit thus created into
circulation. Enterprise must be
stimulated by creating cOndi-
tiOnS favOrabIc to business re-
cOvery. and governments can
contribute by the development
of appropriate programs Of
capital expenditures.
AGREE ON MONEY
"The ultimate reestablish-
ment of equilibrium in the in
ternatiOnal exchanges should
also be contemplated. We must,
when circumstances permit, re-
establish an international none
tary standard which will operate
successfully without depressing
prices and avoid the repetition
of the mistakes which have pro-
duced such disastrous results in
the past.
I'm this connection, the ques-
ton of silver, which is of such
Importance in trade with the
Orient, was discussed and pro-
pOSalS were tentatively sug-
gested for the improvement Of
its status.
"These questions are all inter-
related and cannot be settled
by any individual country act
ing by itself. The achieve
ment of sound and lasting
world recovery depends on CO..
.ordinating domestic remedies
and supplementing them by
concurrent and simultaneous
action in the international field.
"The proposals examined will
be discussed with the repreSen-
tativeS of the other nations
who have been invited to
Washington with a view to Sc
curing the fullest possible meas
ure of common understanding
before the conference meets.

Tentative plans for this canvass,
which will be city wide in scope,
include appointment of precinct
directors and city block chairmen,
with a force of volunteers to make
the individual calls. In a statement
today Mrs. Hanson said, This cam
paign must be thorough and no home
in the city can be missed, but we
want to complete the canvass of
consumers as quickly as possible
in order that the Ell Centro NRA
campaign may be successfully end
ed and report made to Washington
to this effect. In order to achieve
this it is necessary that there be
a large staff of canvasSerS and it
is urged that every woman who can
give some time to this work vol
unteer her services to assist in this
nation wide drive. Those who are
willing to offer their services are
asked to telephone to 23W and when
a sufficient number of volunteers
has been obtained each will be as
signed to definite territory on the
day the canvass commences.
There should be no difficulty
getting volunteers" continued Mrs.
Hanson. 'for the women of Ell Cen
tro will recognize this as their
patriotic duty and will willingly
cooperate with the tens of thous-
ands of women in the United States
who have given their time to furth-
er the national recovery plan of
President Roosevelt. Cooperation
by the merchants, the theatres,
newspapers, the radio station and
the individuals who have been call
ed on in the speakers campaign
has been given to the local NRA
organization willingly and whole
heartedly and the women who are
not employed will do their share

Special arrangements will be
made to enroll the women of the
city who are employed and away

Mrs. Hanson states, but all VII

The code in final form provides
for fixing of minimum prices.

United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, Sept. 16. U.PJ -
Under leadership OF mining shares,
which leaped to Is points, the
stock market staged a spirited ral-
ly in late trading today.
The government announcement
of $30.49 per ounce for gold-a
peak since the government started
establishing gold price-served as
the incentive to rally a market
which had been dull and slightly
stronger. Trading picked up and
issue after isues shot into new
highs.
There were a number of favor
able factors which had served to
bring dull strength in early deal
ings. These included agreement on
the coal code, an unchanged esti-
mate on Youngstown district steel
operations, a weaker dollar and
steady commodity prices plus con-
tinuance of initiation talk Then
when the gold price came out, it
served as spark to ignite the mar
ket.
Metals scared and in their wake
came the rest of the market, re-
peal issues. leading industrials and
some specialtieS. Only the utili-
ties showed a tendency to hold back
and even they, in most instances,
erased early losses to substitute
some gains.
New high after new high was
scored among the metal shares.
Homestake, the widest swinging
member of the gold mining group,
leaped more than 25 points to new
all-time record Federal Mining
jumped Is points to a high of 80.
U. S. Smelling, reaching 100 for
81 points gain, Mcintyre Porcu-
pine. American Smelling, Howe
Sound all allied in various sections
of the mining industry, spreaC their
strength into new peaks for the
year.
Repeal Stocks Rise
Repeal stocks had final whirl,
National DistillerS and U. S. In
dustrial Alcohol showed gains rang
ing to more than points. Other
issues of this d,tision were strong.
Then came the sugars, with
Great Western advancing to new
high for the year and good gains
coming in American and South
Porto Rican. TobaccoS had a fling
at good gains.
u. S. Steel, leader in the declin-
ling movement yesterday, came to
life. and after moving around 53A
most of the day, climbed close to
55. American Telephone showed a
gain Of around 3 points. Chrysler
led the motor division, climbing
more than a point.
Rails showed fractional gains
despite the official carloading re-
port showing a loss of $4,000 over
the preceding week.
Sales on the stock market totaleo
1.0O1 ,160 shares as against 279, ,l0C
shares last Saturday. Sales on the
curb exchange totaled l76,00(
shares as against 7l,000 last Satur'
day.

showed industrial 105.30 up 2.67,
