THREE WAYS OPEN
FOR TREASURY TO
GET ADDED FUNDS
New Bonds, Taxes or Some
Initiation Device Due.
Early Action Urged.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

NEW YORK, January 25.-Three
general courses are open to the Treas
ury to meet the ,5ituation brought
about by the bonus bill. by the need
of financing new farm relief pro-
gram and by the deficit on other ac-
counts.
It may simply borrow on Govern
ment bonds whatever amounts are re-
quired, leaving the providing Of moneys
to retire the bonds to the future. It
may call for increased taxation to pay
q part of the bill Immediately, Dor
rowing In conventional fashion the
rest. It may resort to some imitation
airy device. Possibly combination Of
two of the three methods will be
adopted. At this writing the general
public is in the dark as to the decision
and possibly the Treasury itself is in
the dark too.
The conservative way would. OF
course, be to raise lakes. It does not
appear likely that this will be the
choice, fol- reasons which all politi-
clans understand. That narrows 1t
down to borrowing or money manipu-
lating.
This writer is of the opinion that
the decision will be to borrow, but. to
paraphrase the famous observation
of the Secretary Of the Treasury, the
writer's opinion on this subject is on
q cA.hoi,r hasiS
One thing is sure. Some decision
must be reached without delay. The
credit of the Government Is injured by
the doubts which are so plainly adj
vertised in the markets
In one quarter the conviction that
imitation of one kind or another Is the
way out was strongly indicated.
That was the foreign exchange mar
ket.
The dollar has been weak ever since
the bonus bill began its triumphant
march through the National Legisla-
ture-so weak that the French franc
strong in contrast, notwith-
standing the fall Of the Lava. govern
ment.

DETROIT ATTRACTS
NEW STEEL PLANTS
TripIed FACILITIES Working
at Capacity to Meet Auto
Requirements.
BY the Associated Press.


DETROIT, January 25.-The steel
industry has tripled production facil-
tiles in the backyard of its principal
customer during recent months, and
is operating its expanded plants here
at capacity.
Production capacity has been step
ped up in the Detroit area from 1,000.-
900 to 100000 tons annually, suffi-
cient to supply more than half the
requirements of the automobile in
dustry,, which is shown in current
trade reports to be consuming % per
cent Of the nations steel output.
The swift growth of blast furnaces
and rolling mills here began during
the slump, when steel operations were
at low levels, and the new. equipment
was ready to leap into top production
as motor car output scared with bust
ness recovery.
New Plants Constructed.
New plants have been constructed
by the Great Lakes Steel Corp. and
the Ford Motor Co., at cost of ap-
proximately $3o,000,0 600, and others
are under consideration.
1.-THE American Rolling Mill Co., OF
Middletown, Ohio, is planning to build
q complete new mill with blast fur
mace, open hearth. and rolling mill
on the property under option at Tren-
ton, Mich.," Lee A. Roster has an
nounced.
Steel men are quoted in trade publ
cations here as saying that the pres
ent rapid expansion would be even
more swift we're it not for the enor-
nous expense involved in building
modern steel plant. They predict
that the rigid and varied require
ments of the automobile industry,
and the development of new processes
in steel making, will mean additional
plant construction here as existing
mills become obsolete.
Other Lines Developed.
A decline in the demand for steel
in automobile manufacturing might
not halt the expansion of the steel
industry here, observers say, pointing
out that the automobile industry it.
self is extending its operations into
other fields, such as plumbing fix
lures, beer kegs, and pre-fabricated
houses, which require large quantities
of the metal.
The importance of this trend was
emphasized at Monroe, Mich, by r.
J. Wysor. executive vice president Of
the Republic Steel Corp, which oper-
ates subsidiary there. He predicted
the demand for steel in house con-
struction in time would rival the auto
industry as q market for the steel
makers.

MOURNING BRINGS
CHANGE IN BRITISH
RETAILERS PLANS
| More Somber Tones Rule.
Sharp Squirt Of Activity
Late in Spring Likely.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, January 25.-Cables
and wireless dispatches to Business
Week give the following survey OF
business abroad for the week ending
today:
LONDON.-"Following the death Of
George v all retail shops made imme-
date plans to cancel orders for bright
colored Spring garments, shifted to
more somber tones or to black. The
court will be In full mourning until
July 81, in half mourning another
three months. Mourning will extend
beyond the royal family and London.
Hundreds of retail shops have in
sured themselves against q period OF
court mourning and so are prepared to
tide over q period Of retail inactivity
And the popularity of the new King
insures a period of great trade activity
late in the Spring and Summer.
THE continued inability of coal
miners and owners to come to terms
is bound to lead either to nationalism
Of the mines or to introduction Of an
export bounty scheme.
1.-The British Exchange Control al
ready is active in an effort to main
tain the pound independent q the
franc. but the feeling Is general that
the new crisis in France will start q
fresh now of funds to the United
States. which is likely to be reflected
soon in increased Wall Street &C.
tivity."
Capital Leaves France.
PARIS.-"Capital is fleeing to Lon
don and New York. That is because
there is now . general belief that the
government which will come into
power after the general election in
March will find it necessary to devalue
the franc in order to bring French
prices into line with those on world
markets and to work itself out Of the
present treasury impasse.
But unless some unexpected panic
develops as a result Of internal dis
turbances in connection with the elec-
ton or of some unforeseen foreign
development, devaluation is not ex-
pected until the new government takes
ONCE"
Reich Troubles Persist.
BERLIN-"Germany's internal eco
nomic position shows no improvement.
The December surplus Of exports
brought the favorable foreign trade
balance for the year to nearly $45..
100000, but this was accomplished
through q contraction of imports
rather than by pushing exports to new
high levels. Far more significant Is
the widening gap between rising inn
port prices and the steady decline in
export prices.
Little Is said about the food short
age, but it is still acute. Best evidence
Of this is the loss OF 5000 900 marks
Of gold recently. The gold was used
to pay for food imports outside the
clearing agreements with neighboring
countries"
