Another war in Europe can mean

Prof. Cordier explained that a

because of the poor financial condi-

way in which Hitler can keep his
promise of economic security is
through foreign relations, he stated.

NEW TWIN zEPHYRS
READY FOR SERVICE
Diesel Powered Trains Will
Start Run April Fl.

The Twin ZephyrS of the Burling-
ton Route that have just been COM
pleted at the Budd Manufacturing
Co. shops at Philadelphia will be
put into regular service between
Chicago and the Twin Cities of st.
Paul and Minneapolis effective April
81, according to Mr.. o. G. Hageman,
general agent of the Burlington's
indianapolis office.
TeSe new streamlined Diesel
powered trains, similar to the first
Zephyr which was exhibited in In
dianapolis last spring, will travel the
431 miles between Chicago and st.
Paul at an average speed of 663
miles an hour.
The Twin ZephyrS will be the only
streamlined DieSel-electric powered
trains in the Chicago Twin Cities
service, and they will have a cruising
speed exceeding 100 miles an hour.
The route of the Twin ZephyrS will
be west from Chicago to Aurora and
Savanna and then north along the
Mississippi River for 300 miles.
The addition of the Twin Zephyrs
to the Chicago-Twin Cities run will
give the Burlington five trains in
each direction daily. The MiSsis-
sippi Riverview will be scheduled to
leave Chicago at 10 a. m. instead of
II a. M, and it is expected to be on
faster schedule.

UNITED AIR LINES
REPORTS HUGE LOSS
AbrogatiOn of Contracts, Lower Pay

By Times Special

By Times Special
CHICAGO, March 28.-The United
Air Lines Transport Corp. operated
at a loss of $2,283,59 during 1884,
according to the annual consolidated
financial report. Abrogation of air
mail contracts and subsequent low
ering of contract payments we're
blamed.
In the preceding year, the cor
poration reported earnings of $177,-
$50, equivalent to II cents a share
on 1,O43,766 shares. Approximately
$1,117567 of the 1884 loss was regis
tered during the 90-day period
when the predecessor company was
deprived of all air mail contracts,
the report stated.
United Air Lines, formerly an
operating division of the United Air
craft and Transport Corp. was
created into the present corpora
ton in compliance with regulations
requiring segregation of operating
and manufacturing units. The re-
port covers operation of both or

Sharp Break in Cotton Is
Held Responsible.
BIZ United Press

CHICAGO, March 28-EaSiness

At the start wheat was unchanged

i cent oats we're unchanged to a
cent down, and rye was off Il cent.
The English market opened
higher but before the Chicago ex-
change opened, prices abroad had
reacted under heavy proflt-taking.
Broomhall said hedging sales con-
tributed to the downturn.
Cotton futures dropped as much
as 20 points locally. The market
here, however, was somewhat
steadied by continued drought and

Interest Already Lost

The complicated features Of many

veStment is to be promptly ar
ranged, in the opinion Of trust Of

Belated exchange Of the third
called Fourth Liberty Loan 4ias FOR
the new 27s per cent Treasury
Bonds is cited as an example IF
lost interest, which in many cases
is now affecting investors 70 whom
the terms of the exchange offer
were not readily comprehensive.
A somewhat pulling feature Of
this financing operation, from the
standpoint of the investor, is that,
although the Liberty 4i4s have been
called for redemption April Is. at
par and interest, the accrual of in
terest upon those bonds ceased
March IS, if they are rendered for
exchange.
Furthermore, although interest is
borne by the new bonds from March
Is, accrued interest from that date
to the time the Liberty 4l4s are sub
mitted for exchange is charged
against them.
Because of indications that the
present process of refunding, in
order TO effect savings in interest
charges. will be employed on an m
creaSing scale by many corporations,
investors who want their placements
to continue undisturbed are finding
it necessary to avoid some issues
which at first glance appear to be

NEW YORK. March 28.-Ths IN
usual proportions assumed by the
calling Of bonds before maturity,

BY corporations. have created a sit

Il is proverbial, according to in

is always late in reaching a sub
stantial proportion Of bondholders,
no matter how widely and repeated
" publicized the operation may be.

High Yields Avoided

This class includes bonds of high
safety rating available at quotations
which leave a definitely high yield,
but are priced higher than call.
The prospect that many, if not all
Of such bonds will be called during
nearby weeks offsets their otherwise
attractive features.
A group of high grade oil bonds
on the New York Stock Exchange
list falls into that category. ALI are
rated high, and at present market
quotations. the yield to maturity is
in excess of AZ per cent in every
instance. but prices already are from
one to three points above call prices.
The extreme economy with which
states and municipalities are find
