NEW RECOVERY PLANS SENT TO
 HIGH COUNCIL
More Money in More Pay Envelopes Scheme Pre-
 sented by Johnson

WASHINGTON, July 13 = The Industrial Recovery plans for quick ly boosting the national buying power through voluntary covenants to raise pay and shorten work hours have been presented for pre- view by the White House Execu- tive Council prior to public ap- plication.
 Mapped carefully in the plans is the idea of unifying public opinion behind the Administration. Ad- ministrator Johnson regarded the job as so complex he wanted to be sure before starting out that this voluntary method of immed- lately getting more money into more envelopes would be regarded as a time saver in bringing the purchasing power and production prices into line.
 More carefully drawn and detail- ed codes carrying out this program will come along later.

BODY OF MAN IS !. FOUND HANGED
 TO TREE LIMB
John Carlson Believed to Have Shielded in Woods
 Off High way

A body, believed to be that of John Carlson, reported missin g since last Wednesday, was found hung to the limb of tree, about a quarter of mile beyond the Juneau Dairy and approximately 100 yards from the highway, at 2 o'clock this afternoon by Joseph Smith. son of L. H. Smith of the Juneau Dairy, who with several other boys had been searching the woods for Pete Chilberg, missing for the last week, according to Chief of Police c. J. Davis, who went to the scene immediately upon report of the tragedy.
 Chief Davis has turned the mat ter over to United States Commis- sioner Charles Sey, who is in charge of the case which is clearly a suicide, he said. The man had apparently been dead for several days.
 MT. Carlson came to Juneau sev- eral months ago and had been employed at the Juneau Cold Stor- age Company until the time of his disappearance last w dn e d ay. Friends and acquaintance became concerned when he did not appear either at his place of employment or at the Maxi Boarding House where he made his home, and reported him missing to the Chief of Police late last week.
 Friends of MT. Carlson said that he had been acting queerly for several weeks and frequently held his head as though he were in pain. He would sit alone in his room for hours with the shades down and acted as though he wished to see no one, according to the report made to Chief Davis.
 The body is at the c. w. Carter Mortuary.

and the United States went out of the export column. TrAe United States is the worlds best source for cotton. At times the American product has been cheaper in Shanghai than Chinese cotton. Yet, any country placing some other cause above commercial expediency could get along without it. Linen could be substituted in the flax-growing European coun- tries while Egypt, India and Brazil could increase cotton acreage fl importers were willing to pay high CT prices.
 A corollary cited at the depart ment of commerce would be ban anas grown under glass in Maine to retail at $10 apiece.

 Aside from consumer bur d e n when a country's imports are turned from a normal source of supply is the question of unbal- anced interna t tional settlements. Imports and exports cannot be di- vorced in economic equilibrium.
 Economists reiterate the view
 that one country cannot buy
 from another unless it sells it
 enough or has sufficient in-
 vestment in it's securities to
 provide payment in terms of
 it's currency.
 Brazil, for instance, depends on coffee exports for about 60 per cent of her national income and the United States takes about 60 per cent of the product Assuming no other trade developments, an embargo on Brazilian coffee would deprive that country of the Ameri- can dollar credits normally balanc- ed against purchases of United States products.

 From the domestic standpoint dwindling exports since 1920 anc the anxiety of the London eco homie conference over international trade barriers has raised the ques- tion of this country's future place in commerce. Charts by the de- partment of agriculture show that in 1882 there were only IS cargo ships en route to Europe for every 20 before the war and every 77 during the 1920 peak.
 It was said at the department
 of commerce that last years
 volume and items of export
 probably represented the lowest
 point to which foreign nations
 could cut their American pur-
 chases without making expen-
 sive substitutions or paying
 higher prices elsewhere. Elimination of the gold clause in contracts and depreciation of the dollar to purchasing power mere in line with foreign exchange has made American products cheaper in terms of international curren- |cies. Increased exports were aimed at in the devalustion.
 Artificial manipulation of trade economists hold, has walled up want in most importing countries and burdensome surpluses in ex- porting countries.
 Germany, once chief market for American lard, has a virtual embargo on the product because oi an import tax approximating slO per hundredweight.
 The idea is to protect the Ger man producer, but trade reports say the country is short of supplies paying comparatively prohibitory prices on using substitutes

 Post lost the railway and did not know where he was and de- cided to come down. He finally got his bearings from peasants. His second landing was near Tar tarsk, but he is not sure if that is the name of the place. He finally found his way out. He is a pretty good judge of distance or he would have passed this place.
