be true Is not entirely clear. The
object, in all probability, is TO build
up a case against the adoption of
silver as a money base. And in do
ing so, care seemingly was taken to
make sure that all of the facts
were not revealed. One of the
banks mentioned, for instance, hap
pens to be the depository for the
New York Metal Exchange 1t is
merely holding the metal in trust
for that exchange.
Assuming the action was pO-
litical move, the particular bank
upon which reflection was cast
would not appear to suffer in COM
parisOn with those who are point
ing their fingers. It is not an espe-
cially nice thing to make unjusti-
fed accusations, even if only i'm
Piled against innocent people or
institutions merely to make polit-
ical capital. It is even worse to do
such thing when those accused do
not have equal means of Self-de
tense.
MUCH was made of the fact that
wi the firm of a broker who has
been prominently identified with
the inflationary forces and who is a
strong silver advocate, held $4,000
ounces of the metal In dollars and
cents that silver was worth ap-
proximately $4,000 at last nights
closing levels. 1t is the smallest sill
yer contract that can be made on
the New York exchange, and the
margin requirement would be 81 $50
The broker is a wealthy man and
has spent much more in furthering
his beliefs in the matter than he
possibly could hope to make in
profits from this contract.
While, by the widest stretch of
the imagination, it might be made
to appear that the particular broker
in question was ChampiOning silver
legislation with a view to making a
personal profit through the silver
holdings of his firm, in which there
are other partners. such a charge
could hardly be lodged against the
bank already mentioned. The senior
officer of that bank has been one of
the strongest opponents of initiation,
and he is equally opposed to the
Dies Thomas bill.
THERF are many sound and
Il legitimate arguments which can
be advanced against the proposed
silver measure, just as there are
arguments which may be made in
its favor.
Fundamentally, however, nothing
is to be gained by dragging in out
side factors. which are not support
able, and much harm might be done
Anything which tends to cause dis
trust of our leading institutions GER
tainly is of no help to business or to
the general desire to pull out of the
depression.

ACTIVITY IN OIL
LIST FEATURES
STOCK MARKET
Easing of Strike Disputes
Strong Factor; Rail
Issues Gain.
BY ELMER c. WALLER
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, April ga furry
of activity in oil shares featured
the late dealings on the Stock Ex-
change yesterday, rounding out a
session of small advances in trading
that was under a million shares.
Standard of California rose 2
points to 81, while oils we're up frac-
tons to nearly a point. Indica-
tons of easing of the Ohio filling
station strike difficulties aided in
the general oil rise.
Several issues made new highs
for the year, including American
and Evans Products. r. H. Macy
at 49,, off II; Celanese at 31@4,
off Is, and Consolidated Gas at
352s, off q, made new lows
Small Gains Registered
Railroad issues resumed their rise.
Car loadings made a good gain over
the preceding week and earnings re-
ports showed a sharp gain over
1888.
Small gains were made by U. S.
Steel, American Telephone, West
inghouSe Electric, National Distil-
lers, Schenley, u S. Rubber, United
Aircraft, General Electric, General
Motors, Chrysler and Case.
American Commercial Alcohol,
Dupont, Spiegel- May-Stern and
American Smelling were up more
than point. u. S. Rubber first
preferred gained more than 2
points.
Commodities were stronger. Cot
ton at one time was up 81 bale,
while silver, copper and hide futures
advanced. Bonds were mixed. The
dollar eased in terms of foreign
exchange
Sales Volume Slumps
The weekly Dun & Bradstreet re-
view found "the suspicious start
which the second quarter has made
establishes definitely the upward
trend recorded for the first three
months of the year, with bolstering
influences sufficiently counterbal-
ancing those of an adverse nature
to provide a greater impetus to re-
covery during the months which lie
Immediately ahead"
Stock sales yesterday were ap-
proximately 100000 shares against
$4,000 shares Thursday. Curb sales
were 10000 shares against 100000
shares Thursday.
Dow-Jones preliminary averages
showed industrial, 1885, up 0.09;
railroad, 1926, off OO6; utility, $3.50,
off 003.

which in it's prosperous heyday Cuba used to buy $20 900 worth to cook with chicken in national dish. The latter item may assuage somewhat the Souths suspicion about our own concession on early fruits and vegetables.
 Such trade rvalary and jealousy, born of all tariff changes natural enough. It is that which has made it virtually impossible for Congress to enact any tariff legislation The benefit to Cuban sugar, variously figured at $23,000,000 up to S35,000000 year in duty cut from one and one-haf cents to nne-tenths of cent has promptly stirred beet sugar Hawaiian resentment, rekindling the embers of controversy the Jones' Costigan Act and the sugar quotas. There is a limit to the amount of Cuban tobacco and cigars to be let in, but under it the benefits to Cuban capital and workers who listen to stories and poems they work should be substantial. Cuba reciprocates our tobacco products and cigarettes now so high priced in Havana
 Then there the textiles machinery, auto mobiles, wool, metals, etc, Cuba will cut duties on. Cuba less impoverished should again buy much of these South America and coffee next in line.

COMMISSIONERS ACTION
 HANDICAPPED.

In the Alaska salmon pack for 1934-whch estab- lished all-time record for that industry-is to be a vindication for the steadfast refusal of Frank T. Bell, Commissioner of Fisheries to grant any extensions in the fishing seasons here this year More than 7,2bO,OOO of all species packed. This is more than 550,0O0 cases in excess of the pack of 19l8 when the old record was set. In that year, with the country at war, large part of the worlds productive forces and men engaged in battle instead of producing the demand was for more and more foodstuffs All canners, as well as other manufacturers and producers, were urged to speed up their operations and increase capacity a patriotic duty. The salmon canners faced a rising market for their goods
 Conditions are entirely different today The packers faced with falling market. There are more fish of certain grades than current demands can take of. And unless the packers can agree upon sales policy that will sffen quotations, undoubtedly many of them going to lose money on the greatest pack of fish ever made in Alaska The situation is not encouraging as it is It would have been infinitely worse had Commissioner Bell yielded to importunities made by both packers and fishermen and permitted additional fishing and canning
 If the canners lose the current pack when preparations are made for next seasons pack the old fight over prices paid to fishermen for their takes and wages to cannery employees is bound to come to the fore again. With big carryover on hand, seems inevitable the canners undoubtedly will be forced to curtail all expenses if they to engage in the years operations with any hope of profit. Thus, while the Territory, through the abnormay large pack and consequently increased taxes, will benefit this year. it and it's residents engaged in fishing and cannery labor will experience reaction in 1885 that may be seriously felt.
 It was with this in mind, well as having due regard for conservation requirements that Con- missioner Bell denied requests for extensions Events have certainly proved him to have been correct in his policy.

 Not even those commuters who last winter dug their way out through the great blizzard appre ciate the drama that has just taken place Tn the long night of the south polar regions. Here we dug through the to brilliant sunlight. There Admiral Byrd was buried in almost perpetual dark ness When communications with the outer world were re-estabshed the tractors that cleared the followed well-worn roads. There the cuing tractors steered dark waste, almost uncharted Here if gas failed the engine stopped, help could easily be had. There the men at the base worried the radio reports from the ad- vancing tractor, fearing not only that it would lose the but that it might stall and itself have to be rescued. Here help from only few miles away There the tractor had to cover 123 miles,
 Fortunately the Admiral came through his four month lone vigil without serious damage. He was weak and thin, due largely to inadequate nourish- ment but his spirits appear to have remained good This after such a long imprisonment in the wind swept, frgid waste is his exceptional good fortune On occasions other men have tried such lonely vigils generally to be by the strain of the complete solitude, without ailkeeper to break the monotonous confinement His relief at being "reeved' will be shared by all those who have read of his past adventures.
