New York Trust Index Cites
Enormous Growth in
Federal Spending.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 22-Total ex-
penditures of the Federal Government
for the past four fiscal years amount
ed to $25, 000, 000, 900. the approximate
total Of all such expenditures between
1889 and 1914, and since 1881 the
Government has spent or appropriated
more than $4,000, 900, 900 in excess of
its income, states the New York Trust
Co. in the current issue of The Index.
The latter sum, it is further pointed
out, amounts to more than one-fifth
the estimated national income in
1884 and is equivalent to all Federal
Government expenditures for the 16
years prior to our entrance into the
World War.
These expenditures. whatever else
may be said in regard to them" The
Index declares, have now reached
proportions for which there is no
peace-time parallel in the history Of
this or any other country. The cost
of the depression to the American
people, as limited to direct emergency
expenditures by the Federal Govern
ment, brooks comparison with nothing
else in the history of the United
States except the cost of the last war
The comprehensive figure of So
000, 100000 for emergency expendi-
lures for relief and public works dur
ing the past two years alone. to which
has Just been added the 81 $3.50, 00O, 900
of the new program, represents a
burden whose importance the country
cannot afford to overlook. If sound
theories Of public finance are not to
be entirely neglected in the develop
ment of future policy, these expendi-
lures must eventually be met by tax
alton. A basic question raised by the
present program is the extent to
which present spending can be con-
tinued without threatening the finan-
cial stability of the Government.

PRICES UNCERTAIN,
COPPER MEN SCAN
ANTITRUST LAWS
End of Code Support Raises
Question of How Unity
Can Be Maintained.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

NEW YORK, June 22-The copper
industry is one of those in which,
under the N. r. A codes, the doing
Of things forbidden by the antitrust
laws has brought about a false price
structure And now, with code sup
port gone, there is much uncertainty
as to prices.
The so-called Blue Eagle" price
was long set at 8 cents. But it is
reported that this week there have
been some good sized sales of mon
Blue Eagle" copper at from " to
cent below the bolstered price. The
Maverick red metal supply is said to
total around 10000 tons, but no one
knows the exact amount, for it is
largely in the hands of spectators
and small dealers.
Fabricat0rs Back Plan.
In some quarters it is expected that
the price will be maintained on the
Blue Eagle" metal until July Is. For
it is limited that more than 80 per
cent OF fabricators have agreed to buy
copper for their immediate require
ments at the fixed price level until
that time. One financial news bureau
followed up this assurance with the
statement, "and large producers have
decided to continue restricted produc-
ton and hold the Scent level for at
least the same period"
The difficulty is that these sugges-
tons of cooperative action skate
rather close to the thin ice of the
antitrust laws. 1t is to be remem-
bered that the resolution extending
the skeletonized N. r. A. carried an
amendment specifically limiting the
antitrust exemptions of the old act
to agreements as to minimum wages.
maximum hours and prohibition of
child labor, and agreements prohibit
ing unfair competitive practices of
certain types.
Lack General Understanding.
Some business men still lack a gen.
eral understanding of the definite
limitations imposed by the existing
laws. The three main prohibitions
are ID that industrial groups can
not, directly or indirectly, agree upon
a fixed price for their products,
whether or not that price be rea-
sonable; (2) that they cannot, d.
rectly or indirectly. allocate markets,
and 90 that they cannot, directly
or indirectly. agree to curtail pro-
duction.
The law is not quite so clear on
the things that business can do in
cooperation between units. But va
riouS Supreme Court decisions have
made it clear that members Of an
industry can, as a basis for price
sterilization, establish q uniform
method of cost accounting. And they
can, of course, with the sanction of
the Federal Trade Commission, agree
on certain codes Of fair practice
which aid in stabilizing prices by out
having such price-cutting practices
as neglecting to make fair service
charges or making undue allowances
Of various sorts.

NEW YORK, June 22-Cables and
radio dispatches to Business Week give
the following survey of business
abroad for the week ending today:
LONDON-''Business is increasingly
active in England and there is a
strong feeling that recent progress
will continue. Government financial
backing for the SITS, o00, 900 slectrifi-
cation program in the London area
is taken as an indication that the
old attitude toward public works is
weakening. Spending-for the jubilee,
for rearming, for rationahzing indus
tries-has brought the present re-
vival. If the Government will UNDER
take a few works similar to the cleo
trification scheme, business Is bound
to benefit from the increased spending
power Of re-employed workmen.
Industrial securities are booming
The tone of the whole market is
good.
Earnings records continue to en-
courage investment. General Electric
stands out in recent reports, with
profits exceeding fl,200,00O, against
G97,0oo a year ago. Hawker Aircraft
jumped its dividend from Is to 20
per cent.
Financial London views the situa-
ton in North China hopelessly. Japan
Is thought to be firmly in the saddle,
with small chance for the British or
any other foreign operators to con-
tinue in that market. Even the old
markets in the Yangtze Valley may
not hold out long agains the inva-
sion of cheap japanese goods, cleverly
merchandized by people who live near
enough the China market to under
stand its inability to buy expensive
goods, its vast capacity to absorb
cheap products"
Gold Bloc Fears Ease. .
PARASITIC storm over the gold
bloc is disappearing. France is quiet
again this week, though there is some
uncertainty still because the govern
ment has as yet offered no proposals
for financial reform. The Bourse is
quiet.
Everybody in France hopes that
M. Laval will effectively take the
economy measures needed to meet the
serious financial situation, and there
is no doubt that something will be
done. That economies which any
government can make will exceed
5000, 0o0, 900 francs is very question
able. With the budget deficit already
near the 100000, 900 franc point,
with the railroads running up another
$500, 000, 900, this cannot save the
situation more than temporarily.
Laval has explained himself that
he wanted to try an experiment. It
Is generally admitted in Paris that
this will be the last experiment be-
fore the government is turned over to
some kind Of strong dictatorial cab
met, or before devaluation Of the
franc, or both. Nothing of this sort
is likely 10 happen before October, but

their portion of the burden.
If his suggestions were carried
out. it would eliminate the neces.

favor the Federation'S suggestion
