RUSSIA CLAIMS
SECOND PLACE
Soviets Climb to High Rank
Among Industrial Nations
of World.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
MOSCOW, Dec 31.-The Soviet
Union in 1885 climbed to second
place in the volume of world indus
trial output, second only to the
United States, according to figures
released by government agencies.
The total volume of industrial
output for the year was placed at
2O.8 per cent more than that for
1884. Capital goods output gained
239 per cent and consumers goods
1873 per cent.
The Soviet now claims first place
in Europe in its output of peat, cop
per, oil, tractors, harvesting COM
bines and trucks, as we'll as indus
trial and agricultural machinery.
More than 8,5OO,OO0,OOO roubles
were spent on a tremendous con-
struction program, covering 694 new
enterprises.
Carloadings rose 1879 per cent
above those for last year, reaching
a daily average of 74,700 in Sep
TENDER
Electric Output Gains
Electric output for the year was
officially estimated at $4,000, 100000
XVIII, against 16,366,O 100000 in 1888,
the first year of the second swear
plan. This would put the Union
third in the volume of electric out
put among the nations of the world
Steel production in the first 10
months of the year totaled 1O,1O0,-
900 tons against 100000 tons in all
of 1884, while 10 months output of
pig iron, 100000 tons, compared
with 100000 in all of 1884. The
large steel plants such as the Mag
nitogogrsk and Kuznetsk enterprises
still under construction, are operat-
ing at profit. The industry as a
whole claimed a 16 per cent reduc-
ton in its costs in the third quarter
alone.
Automobile and truck output in
1885 totaled $4,000 units, rising from
1900 in $780, and with 100000 esti-
mated for 1886.
Although the favorable trade
balance shrank to 120,O00,0O0 rubles
this year from 1876, 09O 900 in 1924, it
combined with gold output placed
at 100,000,000 rubles in assisting the
Soviet to pare it's foreign trade in
debtedness further. AS the year
closes, the total of this indebtedness
is set at 100O00,OoO to 10000 900
rubles against 1,400,00O0OO at its
peak at the end of 1881.

MONTREAL. Dec. 3l-The curve
of Canadian business for 1885 was
definitely and continuously upward.
Recent unreasonable weather has
had a dragging effect upon retail
trade and there has been a mod

year in the base metal industry, but
this was Offset by sharp improve

FRENCH TRADE
AND INDUSTRY
OFF FOR YEAR
But Nation Stays on Gold
Hoping for Sterilization
Conference.
BY HAROLD ETTLINGER
United Press staff Correspondent

PARIS, Dec. 31.-Internal bust
ness and industrial difficulties, as
reflected by tax receipts persistently
lower than budget estimates, and
shrinking foreign trade provoked
considerable pessimism in France
during the year and added many
new voices to the demand for re-
form.
The Laval governments drastic
economy DEGREES which provided a
balanced budget, at least on paper,
did not show any substantial re-
suits by the end of 1885, perhaps be-
cause their PRONUNCIATION came too
late.
Their effect was certainly post
poned by the fact that economic
sanctions against Italy and the gen.
orally tangled international situa-
ton added considerably to Frances
economic complications.
Devaluation Avoided
But despite her troubles France
chung steadfastly to the gold stand
ard.
She refused to be moved by the
DETECTION from the gold bloc of
Belgium or by two extremely danger
GUS runs on Bank of France gold
one in May which cost more than
10 billion francs and one in Novem-
Der, when more than five billions
went abroad.
There were frequent predictions
Of devaluation during the year, but
the government and the Bank of
France continue firm in their OPP
position, hopeful that the near flu
ture would bring a monetary con-
ference for general sterilization at
new levels.
The nations unfavorable foreign
trade balance will be slightly smaller
than in 1857, but trade generally is
expected to show decline of more
than five billion francs.
The latest available figures, which
are for 10 months, show total for
eign trade of 30,042, $4,000 francs
compared with 34,071 ,464 900 in 1884,
including exchanges with French
colonies and protectorates. Imports
totalled 1925, 100000 compared with
19,431 $4,000 francs in 1884, and ex-
ports we're 12,767 ,089 900 compared
with 1859, 476,000 for the same Pc
Rod last year.
Good Trade With Italy
Germany continued to lead the
list of countries exporting to France,
with the United States second and
Great Britain third, while Frances
best customers were the Belgian
Luxembourg economic union, Great
Britain and Germany in the order
given.
From January through october the
United States sold France 1872
$4,000 francs worth of goods and
bought 573 $4,000 from her.
A general increase of Franco
American trade, which would restore
the United States to first place, is
hoped for from the trade treaty now
under negotiation in Washington.
Despite the generally unfavorable
trade balance, France did have IA
vorable exchange with some coun-
tries during the year.
One of these-and there has been
much lamentation about it of late
has been Italy, whose French pro-
ducers feared they would lose COM
pletely as a result of sanctions.

MORGAN PLANS TRIP THRU INV. PASSAGE AUTO
(By The Associated Press)

Payson, Utah, Dec. 31, - Plans for a ten thousand mile land journey around the northern rim of the North American Continent, were revealed here today by Master Sergeant Stan ley R. Morgan, Signal Corps operator at Point Barrow, who recovered the bodies of Will Rogers and Wiley Post after their tragic crash last summer.
 The trip will depend, Morgan said, upon his abil- ity' to secure financial back ing. He will leave from Seattle and proceed to Pt. Barrow. From there his route will go East through the historic Northwest Pass age to the northern tip of Hudson Bay, down the west coast of Hudson Bay to New York and thence back to Seattle.
 The automobile to be us- ed on the trip will have skis and a tractor tread, similar to the one Morgan constructed for use in the Barrow region, but in ad- dition will have a special steam attachment to keep the lubricating system op- erating in extreme low temperatures. The purpose of the trip will be to dem- onstrate the feasibility of land travel other than by dog team in the far North.

 Washington, Dec. 31, - A special session of the AL aska Legislature to clarify social laws, was urged by Delegate to Congress from Alaska, Monday in a tele- gram to Governor Troy at Juneau.
 Dimond said it would be necessary to change terri torial laws relative to de- pendent children, the blind, length of residence necess- ary to obtain pension; and in addition those changes in the present oldage pensions must be made applicable to whites and natives alike.
 Dimond stated that old age pensions and other soc iai obligations cost the ter ritorial government about two hundred thousand dol lars annually.
 The delegate said that by calling a special session to amend the present laws and the passing of new on- es to conform to the Feder- al Social Security Act, the Territory would be in a position to obtain two hun cred thousand dollars ad- ditional federal funds, dur .ng the next federal year.
 He explained that the added two hundred thous- and dollars wouldn't mean additional money for the present program alone, but would be used to a large ex- tent for added social work which would be undertak- en under proposed new leg islation.
