.1OPCT. OVER COST
MINIMUM IS SET
Applies to All Retailers Ex.
cept Grocers and
Druggists.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A 10 per cent minimum over cost
was set for all retailers except
grocers and druggists yesterday by
Gen. Hugh S. johnson, N. R. A. chief.
At the same time the N. r. A.
announced some tariff bargaining in
the lead pencil trade-with results.
The 10 per cent is an allowance
intended to cover, partially or COM
pletely the labor costs of a retail
establishment, but not to net any one
profit. Decree of the allowance
by johnson was provided for by the
retail code, put into effect months
ago.
Grocers' Minimum Set.
Grocers already have been given
a per cent minimum allowance, and
the figure for drug retailers has yet
to be fixed.
The percentages are to be calculated
On the actual net invoice cost of
an article, less all discounts. or the
replacement cost. If the latter is
lower.
The plan is part of intended pro-
lection for merchants who have COM
planned Of unfair competitive prac-
tices. Sales below the marked-up
figure will be considered loss lead
ers'-purchase inducements for Gus
toners, made up on other items
which the code forbids.
In the tariff bargaining. officials said
they had been given an UNDERSTANDING
by japanese exporters of lead pencils
that after May 1 they would limit
shipments into this country to not
more than 125,000 gross In any one
year.
Embargo Action Dropped.
In exchange for this limitation the
Government will drop action toward
establishing an embargo or other lin
itation on japanese pencils. Last De-
cember 7, on complaint from the Lead
Pencil Institute. Inc, President Roose-
welt ordered the Tariff Commission to
investigate the imports under the sec
ton OF the recovery law which per-
mits special protection against in
creasing foreign entries which threat
en- coded industries.
The l25,000 figure is a sizeable de-
crease from last years imports, which
totaled more than 160 900 gross. The
bulk Of this came in during the last
six months of the year.
Hereafter imports from Japan will
be limited to 90 0O0 pross in opu civ
months, $4,000 in any one quarter and
25,0O0 in any one month. If April
shipments pass the $4,000 mark, the
excess is to be deducted from the quota
for the rest of the year.

Tribute to Secretariat.

Four Of Mr.. Roosevelt's associates
are going to get surprise when his
new book comes out shortly. He let
them see all except the last chapter
before the book went to the printers.
The reason he kept that chapter
secret is that in that chapter he
paid an unusual tribute to them
Prof. Moley. Louis Howe, Steve Early
and Marvin Mcintyre.
1t may stop that old gossip about
dissension in the secretmiat. The
only change that has occurred on
the inside there is due to the ILL
ness of HotCc and the necessity
that he curtal his tpork.
Also it will probably result in a
flock Of reports that Prof. Moley is
ace high again. Such reports will be
sponsored by those who did not know
that he has been ace high right along.
There has been no change in his
status as presidential adviser, except
that reliquishment Of his State De-
partment post enabled him to move
with greater freedom.
japanese Magic Fails.
The Japanese are great magicians
in diplomacy as well as in fact.
Their latest was to call in all for
eign journalists in Toxic and an
nounce that their government had no
confirmation of reports from London
that the United States had asked
Britain to exchange views on the
1885 Naval Conference. 1t was the
first any one had ever heard about
that.
Our officials saw the trick In it.
Japan wants us to initiate naval dis
cussions and her foreign ONCE in
vented the reports to prod us.
We have NOT consulted Britain.
The truth is we want some one
else to take the initiative. We are not
going to take up that thankless
burden.

Hawaii Is Disturbed
By Tariff Proposal

HONOLULU, Hawaii
reports from Washington that the tariff
on Cuban sugar is to be cut from TO
las cents a pound is causing the great
est concern in Hawaii Cuban sugar,
by far the largest volume from any one
country reaching the American market,
virtually determines the American mar
ket price Though a foreign sugar it
comes into the United States under a
20 per cent "preferential' or lower
duty than other foreign sugar, this
favored treatment being a part of
Uncle Sans reciprocity toward the
island republic If this preferential is
to be still greater through reduction
in the tariff, it means that domestic
cane and beet sugar growers will find
the competition with Cuban sugar even
more severe.
A large number of Hawaiian plan
tations have been kept going through
the last three lean" years only by the
exercise of the strictest economy. They
cannot cut production costs lower. Sew
eral others have been carried along by
loans which some day must be repaid.
For these marginal plantations the
added competition of lower-tariff
Cuban sugar means disaster. For all
the Hawaii plantations. the prospect of
heavily increased competition from
Cuban sugar is a dark one. Hawaii
cannot meet the production costs of
Cuba, where labor is cheap and where
housing and other conditions are not
so good as In the Hawaiian Islands.

be carried. American planes are being
used.

Shanghai Is Miscast
As Economic Paradise

SHANGHAI-The influx of INDECENT
Americans who labor under the de-
lusion that Shanghai is an economic
paradise is severely straining the slender
resources of the local American Com
munity Chest.
The Community Chest fund is raised
every year by donations from the local
American residents. the purpose being
to administer relief to Shanghai Amer
leans who are in need. Food and
shelter is frequently provided and In
many cases steamship fare Is advanced
to the unemployed who wish to return
to the United States.
Since the economic depression has
made itself felt in Shanghai. there have
been enough cases of American resi-
dents in need to absorb most of the
Community Chest relief funds. But
of late the administrators of the chest
fund have been confronted with the
added burden of trying to provide for
a large number of Americans who ar
rive in this city without funds and
seek work which is unobtainable.
