hand the farmers an annual relief
fund of $125, 100000 than to see the
curtailment plan, plus the processing
tax, go forward. He said in part:
Let us look coldly at the facts
Last year about 10000, 900 acres of
cotton were planted in the United
States, while the other countries
planted 44,500,000 acres. These figures
show conclusively cotton is not ex-
clus1vely an American commodity, but
q world commodity. We raise approx
tmately As per cent Of the world crop
and other countries raise IS per cent.
Obviously we can regulate the price
Of cotton only in the United States
There must be world price outside
OF the confines Of this country. Our
success In selling cotton abroad de-
ponds upon price, quality and service.
Nothing else Is material. Other coun-
tries can render as satisfactory service
as we can, and, for the major part of
the trade, the quality of the foreign
cotton Is satisfactory. Price remains
the determining factor In our bid for
foreign trade.

Price Highest Since 1925.


The price of II cents to American
mines Is the highest price they have
received since 1925, and higher than
the average for any full year since
1920. which was the fag end of the
postwar imitation. That had carried
the price in 1919 to q peak for 40
years or so at $1.3715.
The 71-cent-an-ounce price for sill
yer was explained as affecting only q
small part Of world production-that
from American mines. But In view Of
the fact that the Jump in price to
American mines was prompted by the
climbing world price. which, in turn,
was attributed chiefly to foreign pur-
chases by the United States Treasury,
Wall Street silver dealers thought 1t
was another major step in Washing
toms program of restoring silver to an
important monetary position.
How high the price might event.
ually 60 was said to be largely a mat
ter of guesswork, dependent upon
the final decisions in Washington and
a number of incalculable factors, chief
among them being the price which
would bring large part of the silver
boards Of the Far East onto the mar
ket.
Effects Are Widespread.
It was pointed out, however, that
the statutory price for silver, based
upon the amount of silver in the sill
yer dollar. and now purely a theo-
retical price, was $1.29 an ounce.

said that there were many small min
ing properties in the West which could
not be profitably operated with silver
much under q dollar an ounce, and
they thought the pressure from the
silver mining States for higher prices
could scarcely be expected to abate
until silver gets within striking dis
tance Of the statutory price.
Thus far, monetary experts said
the silver program was not partic-
ularly inflationary, but they saw in
1t distinctly inflationary possibilities
If vigorously pursued over a consd-
cradle period.
Possible repercuSsions from abroad
were awaited with interest. It was
pointed out that the rise in the price
of silver had already embarrassed the
banking community In Shanghai,
where the currency has been on an
actual silver basis, but that the sit
uation had been brought under par
tial control by the imposition Of q
silver export tax.

London Price Scars.

LONDON. April IL R.-The price Of
silver today touched the highest mark
in nine years, bringing 20 11-16 pence
an ounce. y penny higher than yes
terday, owing chiefly to President
Roosevelt's announcement of increased
buying price.
This stimulated buying in China
and India by spectators who steadily
have been absorbing the metal here
in the past few days on the assump-
ton the United States, which hith-
erto has been supporting the price,
would continue to do so.

edly inviting II Duce to come to
terms before October 81 when the
league is due to apply economic
sanctions, he mentions all the I'M
pleasant consequences of Italian
failure to conciliate; hostility to
Fascism, military sanctions and
closing the Suez Canal.
Of course Sir Samuel dlsap-
proves all these things-but the
subtlety of his phraseology Will
not be lost on II Duce.
Political commentators believed
Sir Samuel made a very able pre-
sentation Of the governments for
eign policy and that it will reap a
reward Of votes at the polls next
month. 1t remains to be seen
whether Mussolini will be impress
ed equally. The dictator cannot
help but notice that Britain no.
where is committed definitely
against military sanctions or CLOS.

not talk about such things so long
as there is absence of league unity

as she is t. halt Italy's adventure

PLANE CRASH QUIZ
is BEGUN AT TROY
(Continued from page one)

Chamberlain related. when Hub
litz heard the left motor missing,
and decided to turn back, he
should have been prepared for an
emergency. Especially when the
plane hit a down-draft over trees.
THE Condor is equipped with a
special mechanical device which
would have enabled the pilot to
get rid of about 1000 pounds of
fuel in few moments"
Hublit7 evidently did not avail
himself of this opportunity, feel
ing that he could land the ship
safely, Chamberlain said.
The inquest last night was ad-
iourned indefinitely until Miss
Nichols RECEIVERS sufficiently to
testify.
The big 2O-passenger plane de-
veloped motor trouble with its left
engine, probably due to carbue-
rotor functioning imperfectly, be-
fore it crashed, the coroner's jury
was IOIu ny SUI NiNOAS.
The plane burst into flames
when it struck the ground soon
after taking off.
Hublitz died Monday night OF
burns and shock. Miss Nichols
condition was improved, but her
physicians declined to say she was
out of danger. She is suffering
from burns, fractures and shock.
Ray Hanes, mechanic for the
air liner, testified at the inquest
yesterday the motors appeared IN
excellent condition before the
take-off. He said a down-draft
caught the plane after they had
turned back to land, when the mo-
tor began suffering.
William Holt, assistant mechanic
testified the ship was being taken
to New York City for complete
overhauling. He said the carbure-
tor on one of the motors was not
"at it's best" and that all the crew
knew it.
