RUBBER INDUSTRY
ENTERS NEW ERA
Economists Differ on Effects
Of London Pact to Curb
Output.
BY the Associated Press.

kSy tAiS AoooSiSbS0 Acoos
NEW YORK, May 1.-The rubber
producing industry, largely in the
hands Of British and Dutch plantation
owners. enters upon a new era with
the adoption of the London accord to
control production, according to trade
authorities.
Economists here hold divergent
views as to its probable results in
stabilizing prices Of crude rubber and
manufactured products, and some
American manufacturers say they
have doubts that the plan will bring
them any benefits.
Nevertheless, the agreement places
the producing end of the industry on
a cooperative plane again after sew
eral years Of chaos brought on by un-
restricted competition among the
growers.
With the collapse Of the Stevenson
restriction plan several years ago, the
price OF crude rubber started to fall
at rapid rate, finally reaching bot
tom at around cents pound In
1882. The pre-depression high quota
ton was $l.20 a pound, established in
1928.
In the course Of the long period of
market disorganization efforts were
made at intervals TO interest growers
in another scheme Of production con-
troll, but all efforts in this direction
failed until the latest conference got
under way a few months ago.
Largely in anticipation of the agree
ment announced over the week end
rubber futures prices had been show
ing strong uptrend against a gen.
orally unfavorable background of
weakness in wheat, cotton and other
commodities. The market now is at
about the peak since 1882.

Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, May 1.-Contrary to
the procedure Of former recoveries
from periods Of acute economic dis
order. capital goods, Of which building
construction is the largest and most
important, are among the last to
throw Of the lethargy of long hiber-
nation.
From an almost complete prostra-
ton year ago In sales, values and
attenuated income, national construc-
ton, fostered by public works and
utilities. accounted for Sc per cent of
the total work of the last six months.
Practically all Of the permits issued
for commercial building have been for
urgent repairs and necessary replace
ments, and while building Of the bet
ter class Of residences Is increasing,
few moderate or low price dwellings
are being constructed.
Until much of the property now in
tllC IlallQS Vi tIlS BdklhS WILL AldFC
found other owners. there is little
hope that this class Of construction
will increase.
Slum elimination projects, which
would be Of considerable help to the
building trade, are slow in getting un-
der way IN most centers and, although
the allotment of Federal funds has
been substantial. comparatively little
work actually has been started as yet.
Vacant factory buildings still are nu-
merous, but the supply Of apartments
and private dwellings soon will be ex-
hausted. II the present trend Of fam
lilies away from doubling up should
continue at the present rate.
Although the outlook Is brighter
than at any time in the last three
years, recovery in the building trade
doubtless will be slower than in any
other industry, according to a survey
which has just been completed by Dun
& Bradstreet, Inc.

CASH FAILS !.
|. TO EXPAND CREDIT
Commercial Loans Decline
Despite Huge Total of
Excess Reserves.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER.

Associated Press Financial Editor.
NEW YORK, May Bank credit,
despite record-breaking excess re-
serves, still fails to expand.
The consolidated condition state
ment Of weekly reporting member
banks of the Federal Reserve System,
which comprise about half the coun-
try's banking facilities, shows Q drop
in "other loans" or commercial loans
Of $l9,000,O00.
This comes on top Of drop Of $75,-
100000 in the previous week. For
three succeeding weeks, until the last
two statements, this loan item had
shown gains, amounting in the aggre-
gate to SIS 100000. Three successive
gains had been rare experience In
the depression years, and led some
observers to suggest that bank credit
expansion may have started in ear.
nest at last. But those gains have
been more than cancelled.

Bankers still insist that good Dor.
rowers cannot be found, and point to
the $500, 100000 excess reserves
which the member banks have on de-
posit with the reserve banks, where
this huge surplus earns no interest,
as clear evidence Of the bankers de-
sire to lend If borrowers could be
found. This money would not be kept
where 1t earns no interest, they in

pansion theoretically possible in the
United States, with Its record break

reaches into figures of astronomical
proportions. But still credit does not
expand.
In the meantime, however, admin
istration quarters in Washington have
indicated quite clearly that the sort
OF imitation favored, If any, is normal
bank credit expansion, rather than
imitation through printing money or
monetizing vast sums of silver.

Returning to the Capital from
abroad, Eexfoed G. Tugwen, Under
secretary OF Agriculture, expressed the
belief today that "the time Is ripe"
for new negotiations with other coun-
tries on the exshange Of American
agricultural products for foreign
goods.
Reporting on his two months trip
through Europe to attend the Inter-
national Institute Of Agriculture at
Rome, the Underseeretary said his
conversations with agricultural oficials
there indicated "the atmosphere Is by
now quite realistic about interna-
tional trade"
II pointed out in talks I had with
these oficials that We could sell
American agricultural products, such
as wheat, to them cheaper than they
could grow them and that We would
be glad to sell any amount"
There Is considerable adjustment In
agricultural acreage going on In for
eign countries, Tugwell said. He
added, however. they are attempting
to increase production while We are
decreasing 1t.
II expect a renewal of foreign trade
but 1t depends on negotiations in the
future and cannot be estimated guam
titatively," he said. This renewal
depends partly on concessions We
make"

conservative old men try to pass laws
to stop change. One might as well
brush back the tides with a broom
Passing laws will never do it. If they
want to stop change they will have to
break up the machines, or, better still,
