JAPAN MENACES
j. s. TEXTILES,
SAYS BRANN

"Jaran Is the greatest menace
to the textile industry of the
United States. ImpOrtatiOnS
from Japan are increasing ire
mendously this year over any
other year."
Governor Louis J. Brann, OF
Maine, who paid washington a
brief visit to obtain public works
funds for Maine, sat in his room
at the Mayflower Hotel and dis
cussed the textile industry.
Silent on Remedies
Governor Brann attributed the
huge importations of cotton cloth
from Japan, which is sold for
much less than the American-made
textiles, to the fact that the cost
Of labor in Japan is next to
nothing"
He declined to discuss remedies
in the form Of an embargo of
limitation of japanese cotton i'm
ports, saying he had made a
number Of suggestions to a spe-
cial Cabinet committee appointed
by the President which is inves-
tigating the textile situation. The
committee is shortly to submit
its report, he said.
Seek Works Fund Aid
Even though the textile bust
ness in Maine is not too pros
porous just now, the governor
said the employment situation in
the state has improved.
From the public works funds,
the governor wants money to i'm

Press dispatch. Mr.. West Is losing
no time IN an effort 70 secure these
loans for Valley orchard owners.
The Heralo's letter to Congress
man West follows:
Somewhere along the line there
seems to be a complete begging
down of the machinery for these
rehabilitation loans to Valley cit
rus growers.
"As you know, the fact that
these loans were to be made was
announced nearly one month ago
and about three weeks ago 1t was
announced that j. w. Evans OF
Donna had been named TO head the
Valley organization.
Then later IL was stated that
the loans were TO be handled under
the Rural Resettlement admins
tration.
"All Of the announcements con-
corning the loans have come from
Washington, and IL seems to be
impossible TO secure any informa-
ton whatever on the matter from
Mr.. Evans or anybody else on this
end of the deal.
In conversation with Mr.. Evans
over the telephone this morning, he
told US that he knew nothing what
ever about the set-up, that he could
not say when loans are TO be made.
on what terms, to whom they will
be made. He stated that all he
knew Is that he is on the Job with
nothing TO do. waiting for instruc-
tons
asked from whom he would get
his instructions. Mr.. Evans stated
that he did not know. that part Of
the instructions would probably
come from the Rural Resettlement
administration office in Austin.
we are not complaining regard
ing Mr.. Evans nor regarding any,
body else for that matter. but If
possible we would like 10 get some
definite information regarding these
loans.
When they we're first announced,
we gave a considerable amount Of
publicity TO the story and to con-
sequent follow-upS. and as a result
u office is receiving daily inquiries
as 10 when the loans are to be
made, and how.
Knowing how hard you have
worked 20 get these loans made
possible, we know that you are
vitally interested In seeing them
made available in time to accom-
plish their purpose. the rehabilita-
ton OF citrus orchards and the af-
fording Of funds for the proper
care OF orchards to the end that
the coming crop may be benefited
as TO quality.
This letter Is intended more to
let you know the situation and TO
keep you informed than ar any
other purpose, although Of course
we WOULD very much like to know
the situation and would appreciate
information regarding when the
loan set-up viii be completed and

ROTARY HEARS
GAS OFFICIAL


Texas is the greatest natural gas
producing state In the union. with
more than one-third Of the total.
J. G. Jordan, general manager OF
the Rio Grande Valley Gas COM
pany, told the Brownsville Rotary
club mt It's luncheon Wednesday.
Mr.. Jordan traced the develop
ment OF the natural gas industry,
stating that the first knowledge
that there was such q mineral was
ON land owned by George Wash
ington, In Virginia, which property
later became a national park. The
first commercial use Of natural gas
was in the little city Of Fredonia,
New York. where gas was struck at
a depth OF a few hundred feet.
The city captured and piped IL for
use In street lighting. In 1873 the
city Of T1tusville, Pa, following dis
avery Of natural gas. constructed
pipe lines, and sold natural gas for
domestic purposes. II was not IN
til later that 1t became available for
industrial purposes.
tn its early days heavy pipe and
construction costs delayed the de-
velopment of natural gas distribu-
ton. With cheaper construction
costs u finally became possible to
pipe natural gas v e 10 sections OF
the codntry distant from gas fields.
MIR. Jordan exploded a belief
some people have that gas COM
panies sometimes pump plain air
into gas lines.
THAT Is a silly idea" he said.
1T Is easier and cheaper to get the
real article into the pipelines than
1t Is to pump air into them. No
purpose would be served. and be-
sides there would be the cost OF
machinery and men and other
things. Also. 1t would be impos-

The speaker. explaining the dif-

when natural gas reaches the con-
sumner the pressure has been re-

government to be two ounces But

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS. July II. Up
First call prices on the cotton mar
ket Thursday were z to 10 points
lower, largely the result OF lower
cables and continued good weather
in the belt.
During the first hour prices
broadened their decline until active
months we're from IL to u points
below Wednesdays final prices.
July opened at 1901 and then sold
off to 11.96, while October at 11.63
and December at ll.59 represented
losses of more than so cents a bale.
The point by point decline con-
tiLued during the morning. and
while there was no concerted pres
SIRE against the market, light Of
ferings proved sufficient TO bring
about price receSSionS.
July dipped TO 11.04, off IA points
nom its previous close, while Oct.
at l1.60 lost around rs cents a bale.
Some OF the offerings Thursday
were profit-taking operations after
two days OF rising prices.
AS the new crop starts TO move
in the extreme southern portions OF
the belt and the weather continues
IDEAL over large areas traders are
becoming a little wary about pur-
chaseS Of cotton.
While some crop commentators
have expressed the opinion that
conditions have not been very ia
vorable. especially in Texas, the
weather map and the weekly YEA
ther reports showing normal tenn
peratures and rainfall do not bear
out their contention.
