Loads Daily.

Times Special
WASHINGTON, March 30.-Al-
though trading was fairly active in
fruits and vegetables at the ma jor
markets in the Midwest last week.
the general price trend was irregu-
lar, according to the weekly report
of the United States Department of
Agriculture released today.
In the Eastern section Pittsburgh
and some other major centers were
greatly disturbed by severe food
conditions and the price action was
cratic for few days, it was re-
ported. Aside from this division, the
price trend for potatoes, celery, cab
bage and green onions continued
higher.
Wholesale prices were about
steady in the Midwestern area for
onions, lettuce, tomatoes, sweet DO
tatoes, beets, peas, carrots and ap-
pies. Spinach declined following a
sharp upturn in the preceding week.
The carlot movement of produce
continued heavy, reaching 1900
carloads during the third week of
the current month, an increase of
more than one-fourth over the same
week last year The market for po-
tatoes, lettuce and citrus fruits was
much more active than in the COR
responding week year ago..
Potato prices, which have been
strong for more than a month, con-
tinued to advance in the East and in
some of the Midwestern producing
sectios, but held about unchanged
at Chicago and in the Far West.
Shipments continued at the rate of
about 1000 cars a day, including
much seed stock. Apple prices con-
tinued lower with increased ship
ments largely responsible.

EASTERN FLOOD
REPAIR PUSHED
AT RAPID PACE
Reconstruction Expected to
Add Impetus to Spring
Trade.

Reconstruction is proceeding rap
idly in the flooded Eastern states
and will add a marked impetus to
the normal spring expansion in
business. Business Week magazine
said in its issue today.
Paint, machinery. lumber, glass,
structural steel, chemicals, drugs
and retail merchandise of all types
are due for an added flip, the pun-
LEGATION declares.
Retailers whose stocks were
waterlogged just as the Easter buy
ing spree was getting under way
are pressing wholesalers for i'm
mediate attention. Shutdowns in
steel. textile and paper mills are
temporary. Motor plants suffered no
delay on steel deliveries, but con-
tinued to increase production.
Pipe Order Largest in Years
Machine tool and machinery
builders believe the flood will bring
them windfall of business. Many
plants will find that equipment now

not be worth the effort to clean.
Restoration of Pittsburgh steel OPP
erations to as per cent of capacity
was achieved in short order, against
the so per cent rate attained Just
before the flood.
Construction steel business booked
so far has totaled 478,947 tons.
against 332,971 in the same weeks
of 1885, with private projects loom
ing larger than they did last year.
Reconstruction work following the
flood will also bring in stable tom
nages.
Pipe fabricators are cheered by
the 44,000-ton order of 22-inch pipe
which the Panhandle Eastern Pipe
Line recently placed, constituting
the largest pipe order in five years.
An $18,000,000 project, it will bring
natural gas from Indiana to De-
troit, 800 miles.
I'm states outside the flood sec
tons, business continues to gain
momentum. Retail trade is set for
the biggest spring season in at least
five years. Delivery problems con-
stitute the most trying obstacles to
sales"

Mussolini has done, imagine all the
code authorities back in existence
In this country and all organized
IN smaller number Of national
ct,.e authorities. Then imagine the
House and Senate as abolished and
a new chamber set up in which the
members would be representatives
the steel code, the coal code, the
automobile code, the textile code
and so on.
THIS is Fascism. OF course
- back of it is the dictatorship
because, first, only dictatorship
could accomplish such a change
and, secondly, only dictatorship,
gould keep it going. 1t is absolutely
: impossible under democratic insti-
tutions.
This is not new entirely. Mus
solini has been working toward it
for some years. His first outspoken
proposals were announced just
about the time we were organizing
our first code authorities. AT the
time l called attention to the de-
velopment which this form of gov
eminent was taking in Italy.
For some time the code authori-
ties or corporatives in Italy have
governed its economic life. The
Chamber Of Deputies controlled, in
theory, its political affairs. But it
soon became apparent that there
could not be two such legislative
assemblies in one country.
Il CONOMIC and policital life
~ overlap at so many points
that there can not be two indie
pendent bodies governing them.
One or the other had to go. In
Italy, of course, it was the political
body-the Chamber of Deputies
which had to 60 And of course it
took a dictatorship and revolu-
ton and it's slow aftermath to ac-
complish that end.
Of course in Italy, the corpora
tive is supposed, unlike our code
authorities, to represent both labor
and employer. In fact, of course,
they have represented the employ
err. And also they have been under
the dominion of the dictator.
But the development which now
finds its flower in the abolition of
the. last vestige, the last pale
shadow of parliamentary authority
In Italy, has been a natural one.
1t is based on the Fascists's theory
of self-rule in industry-the right
Of industry to make rules for it
self. We have played little with
that dangerous and undemocratic
doctrine in this country without
realizing it.

PREDICT BONUS
TO PUSH DEBT
To new PEAK
Treasury Officials Plunged
Into Dizzy Financial
Calculations.
BY HOBART c. MONTEE
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March 30.-Pay-
ment of the soldiers bonus, arrange
ments for which were under full
swing today. plunged Treasury De-
partment officials into a new series
of dizzying financial calculations.
The officials believed that the
bonus payment would have the fol-
lowing effects, among others:
!. Push the United States public
debt to new ali-time high or more
than $50, 600, 900 900.
2. Compel the Treasury to dc
some additional financing on June
ID or shortly thereafter, probably
with a bond issue of $1,000 900 OO(
or more.
Overdue Taxes Expected
3. Deplete the present huge work
ing cash balance of the Treasury
now totaling almost $4,000 900 900.
4. Bring into the Treasury De-
partment a large amount of long
overdue income tax payments.
D. Bring into the Treasury a
large amount OF revenue from mis-
cellaneous sources as result of
increased business, payment of
private debts, purchase of automo-
piles. increased consumption of
gasoline and other tax producing
activities.
NO estimate was available on the
amount OF money which the govern
ment expects to get back from the
bonus payment. Much of it will
come from such indirect sources that
calculation now of its total is almost
impossible, officials said.
Carriers Look for Good Trade
Based upon scattering returns
from missionaries sent to prospec-
i've bonus recipients, officials be-
lleve that tax and debt payments
VIII take large portion of the total
bonus payments. A considerable
portion will go toward liquidation of
old debts, payment of mortgages on
homes, repair of homes, or to the
building of new homes.
Vacation resorts also are expected
to do a fourishing business. Rail.
roads and steamship lines anticipate
an increase in summer traffic.
Although actual disbursement of
the veterans adjusted service bonds
will not begin until June Is, ship
mentS of these certificates already
are being made to Federal Reserve
banks which are to distribute them.

the Treasury, announced

STOCK MARKET
WEEK IN REVIEW

By United Press
NEW YORK, March 30.-Trading
on the New York Stock Exchange
sagged to the lightest levels of any
week this year during the last six
days and prices sagged off in nearly
all directions.
There were periods of strength
when the automobile shares per-
formed on the upside and wide gains
were made by the farm implements
and some of the chemicals. Late in
the week, however, the market easily
slipped back as traders took to the
sidelines awaiting more definite in
dication of the trend.
Franc Embargo Rumored
Impetus for Fridays selling was
furnished by fears the gold bloc was
about to crumple. The French franc
fell below the point at which it is
profitable to import gold from
France. 1t was understood New
York banks were arranging to take
gold from Paris. Meanwhile rumors
circlated here and in Paris that the
French government was contemplate
ing an embargo on gold.
Such embargo would be defia-
tionary in dollar terms and might
bring selling in stocks and COM
modities, experts said. However, the
majority opinion was the financial
community has been amply prepared
for abandonment of gold by the
French.
Early in the week flood news pre-
dominated and there was further
hesitation over the Hitler situation
The latter has not yet been settled
to the satisfaction of the finan.
cial community, although none now
believe war will result at this time
AS for the floods, the actual losses
have not yet been measured anc
some believe the market has moi
fully reacted to the huge economic
destruction.

perts feel that commodities woulc

Radio Telephone Connection
Saves Fishing Trawler Crew

of Halifax was standing by ready to
take off the crew of the Fauci. Captain
McHugh placed a final telephone call
on Green Harbor reporting the arrival
of the Lemberg and that he and his
men were about to abandon the ship,
which was in immediate danger of
sinking. During that last conversation
Captain McHugh was standing in two
feet of salt water and the batteries,
which operated the telephone equip
ment, were partly submerged, but his
words still came clearly over some 400
miles of the icy Atlantic to the fishing
company's Office.
Radio telephone apparatus was first
made available to vessels off the New
England coast during the latter part
Of 1882, according to the Bell Labora-
tories Record. Previous to the present
incident, the telephone has taken an
important part in number of rescues,
where without this service both men
and vessels would undoubtedly have
been lost.

the dredging at the mouth of the Po-

Florida.
