Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April I'm its weekly
summary of the general business stu
alton, the Standard Statistics Co. of
New York currently comments as
follows:
Industrial production will show
further moderate expansion in April,
after allowing for seasonal factors.
The Standard Statistics Co. index of
production Q926 equals 1000 is esti-
mated at $40, compared with an esti-
mate for March of 1876 and 70.8 for
April Of last year.
Because of the curtailment in
the flood areas, March production was
slightly below original expectations.
Steel activity in and around Pitts
burgh was virtually halted for a few
days. The flooding of many mines
reduced the output of coal and opera
tions in several textile mills in New
England were adversely affected.
Tire production last month like
wise> was below earlier indications,
because Of the prolonged strike at the
Goodyear plants in Akron. As the
strike has now been settled, increasing
tire production is in prospect"

Butter Surplus Likely to Lag
Well Behind 5-Year Average

However, the rate Of output is now
believed to be above q year ago, with
some sections reporting the market IS
per cent larger.
Recently, withdrawal of butter from
storage, which reflects consumption,
has been fairly heavy. Withdrawals
the previous week in IS cities brought
the total movement out of storage
since January 4 to within 100000
pounds of the volume the correspond
ing period last year. The volume of
withdrawal for March, however, was
slightly below that for the same month
last year and sharply below the out
of-storage movement in March, 1884.
Heavy importation Of foreign butter,
which had been expected in some
quarters, did not materialize. Up to
the end of February more than 4,000.-
900 pounds of foreign butter were
brought into the country, but since
then, with the decline in domestic
prices. the rate Of importations has
fallen Oh sharply. A

CLIMB CONTINUES
IN FARM EXPORTS
Rise II Per Cent Above
Year Ago in Eight Months.
Cotton Leads.
By the Associated Press.

6y tHe ASSOClaIeQ fTeSS.
Further increases in the export Of
American farm products was reported
by the division Of foreign crops and
markets.
During the first eight months of the
fiscal year, 1886, the report said,
exports increased IT per cent over the
corresponding period Of the preceding
year. This compares with an increase
Of only 13 per cent for on-agricultural
commodities.
The value of agricultural exports
during the period was given as $751;
600, 1000, an increase of $4,000, 900 over
the same period of the next preceding
crop year.
Cotton Exports Lead.
The predominant factor in the in
creased total value was a $4,000, 900
increase in the value of cotton exports.
This "a per cent increase in value was
accompanied by 80 per cent rise in
quantity. from 3,733,000 to 4,931 900
bales of 500 pounds. The second
largest increase in value was reported
for bright flue-cured tobacco, exports
of which rose $18,000000. This rise
of 20 per cent in value was accom-
panied by 80 per cent rise in guam
tity. .
Significant increases in export values
occurred also in canned fruit, which
rose almost $7,000,000 during the
period; fresh apples. which rose more
than $4,000 900, and oranges, which
rose $3,000,0OO.
In each case the increases in value
were accompanied by important in
creases in the corresponding quanti-
ties exported, so that the expansion
represented a recovery Of foreign
markets rather than q further in
crease in prices.
simultaneously with those increases,
several important decreases were noted
in the value of farm exports. The
largest of these was a $9,000,0 900 drop
in the value of lard exports. Other
important decreases were those of
more than 100000 in fresh pork
and 100000 each in wheat and
wheat flour.

TAX BILL CAUSES
CONFUSION AMONG
MARKET PROPHETS
Some Fear Profits Levy
Would Severely Curb
Young Enterprises.
BY FREDERICK GARDNER.

<hooSSAotCo 1903 = WEllGE.
The New Deals proposed tax on
undiStributed corporate profits has
complicated life for those who try to
fathom the forces behind the stock
market ticker.
House hearings on the tax bill have
disclosed variety of opinions among
economists and business men as to
potential effects of a graduated un-
divided profits levy upon speculation
and demand for securities.
Some say it would cause lavish pay
ment of dividends and accentuate bull
and bear markets alike. To them it
would be comparable with the tax on
capital gains as an influence In the
purchase and sale of securities.
Regarded as Offset.
Others hold bullish effects would be
offset by offering new incentive to
diversion of capital from industrial
securities into tax-exempt Govern
ment issues, by shift of trading in
some stocks to foreign markets and
by hobbling the growth of young en-
terprises, in which speculation is a
big element, out of re-invested earn
ings.
Whatever the likely effect upon
shares prices. there was wide agree
ment among experts that the tax pro-
posals had become of major impor-
tance in market calculations.
Lack of example from the ex-
perience of other nations added to
difficulties of forecaSting. Norway
and Sweden were said to have been
the only foreign nations which tried
levies comparable with that under
discussion.
Capital Gains Tax Scored.
Agitation for elimination of the tax
on capital gains has been renewed as
sidelight to the main tax battle.
Opponents drew freely upon Euro
pean systems in an attempt to show
it was considered unsound in other
countries.
The capital gains tax, in force for
years as recognized principle of in
come levies in this country, was
blamed in part for endowing stocks
with scarcity" value in the 1926
1929 bull market because large holders
were reluctant to sell and pay in
come taxes on capital gains.
With stocks and other property
values on the rise again, it was seen
operating as check upon selling and
spur to advancing prices.

DEMAND IMPROVES
IN COPPER TRADE
Export Prices Advanced to $40
Cents and Domestic Buying
Shows Increase.

oy the ASSOCldteQ FIeSS.
NEW YORK, April 4-Better de-
mand for copper both for foreign and
domestic account featured trading this
week in the non-ferrous metals.
Export copper prices advanced from
a low OF $50 cents C. i. ", in the
previous week to as high as 9.10 cents
on larger European buying which was
coupled with reports that foreign pro-
ducers. pleased with results of the
year-old curtailment agreement, would
continue regulation of output.
Buying from home fabricators has
been attributed principally to needs
for replacement in flood areas, but
also to buying by utilities. Those pro-
ducers quoting 9H cents for electro
lytic continued to supply metal, while
other interests remained nominally at
9R cents.
Tin ruled steady in sympathy with
q firmer and more active Eastern
market and rises at London. Buying
here, however, was of limited pro-
portions.

ABOUT ITALIAN WAR FUND

An inquiry to Secretary Cordell Hull Of the Department
of State as to whether or not the collection of funds in this
country by Italian Americans IS not a violation Of the spirit
of American neutrality was made this week by the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
The funds being collected by Italians in America are adver-
tsed as going to the Italian Red Cross, but in the publicity for
a huge mass meeting in NewYork City last week, where a total
of one-half million dollars was announced, the statement was
made that the funds were for the Italian Red Cross "and for
other purposes
An Italian American newspaper, which sponsored the mass
meeting, is quoted in the letter as saying
ITO once more demonstrate that the hearts of the Italo-
Americans beat with the heart Of the faraway Wonderland and
that each and every eompatriot who resides in this Motherhood
OF adoption is ready to give all in his power to help Italy fight
back thebrutal international coalition led by England with the
utmost resistance and give a chance to the Italian soldiers who
are now in Africa to write another epic page of glory in the
history Of civilization and also it must serve to show that
the five millions of Italian Americans who live in the United
States are ready TO IMMEDIATE themselves on the altar of their
great Motherland and will answer an eye for an eye and a
tooth for a TOOTH
A similar letter Of inquiry has been sent by the NAACP
to Attorney General Homer S. Cummings. It is the contention
OF the Association that The warelike statement and the asser-
ton that the money is to be used for "other purposes is evi-
dence that Italian Americans are violating the spirit of neutral
ity. IL will be recalled that many white people and some color
ed people-among them Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell-ad-
viii be remembered that in Birmingham, Ala, the police even
underworld to force colored people to trade at Italian grocery
stores, saying that collored had mo right to boycott Italians.

ALTA VESTA
A GIRLS PROBLEMS
(By Videtta Ish)

Dear Alta Vesta:
So my little girl was both sad
and happy, was she? Well, dear,
you he'd an experience common to
all people. The way of life is very
strange, but it is very much like
what we call nature. In nature we
have clouds and sunshine, night
and day, winter and summer. The
very earth is made up of noun
tains and valleys. And these rep
resent the various experiences of
life. We cannot understand the
purpose or purposes in all of these
experiences, but as we see the
good in natures differences, we
are justified in believing that even
the unpleasant things of life have
their benefits.
Now, Alta Vesta, do not allow
fear of anything to disturb you.
Fear is a dangerous thing. 1t be-
comes the master of some people
and ruins them. Do not allow the
fear of what might happen dim
your present pleasure, but tell
yourself that You will not permit
such things to obtain. Deal harshly
with fear, it will Danish. j am
quite sure my little girl will not
willingly displease me, and if she
believe to be right and If in doubt
that she meant we'll and shall not
seold her. Always do what you
bellevue to be right and if in doubt
don't. j love you more as you grow
older.
Your Father.

NO FREEDOM FROM FAULTS

There is a Latin maxim which
reads. "Vitils memo sine naseitur,"
and the translation is, mo one is
born free from faults" This is in
harmony with the declaration of
Alexander Pope.
"Who thinks a faultless piece to
see,
Thinks what ne'er was nor ever
shall be-"
And universal human experience
verifies this conclusion.
While it is difficult for one to
recognize his own faults, or at
least properly to gauge the mag
nitude of his own weaknesses, it
is very doubtful if there may be
found any one who is not con-
seious of his faults.
This knowledge of ones own
faults, his own shortcomings, his
own erranecies, ought to make
any individual generous and toll.

RESOLUTION URGES END LYNCHING

A resolution demanding enforced legislation to put an enc
to lynching and mob violence for all time" in America was adj
opted at the recent national convention of Hadassah, the Wo
mems Zionist Organization Of America, held in Cleveland, and
a copy has been forwarded to the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People by Mrs. Herman Shulman.
Hadassah, because of its rules, was not able to sponsor
any particular legislation, but the delegates, in response to a
telegram from the NAACP, went on record against lynching
The resolution follows:
"WHEREAS, no greater blot on American democracy re
mains from the unhappy days of slavery than lynching, and
"WHEREAS, this is an evil which not only defeats the
ends of justice but can poison the soul of a people,
"BE IT RESOLVED THAT Hadassah, the Women's Zion.
list Organization of America in convention assembled express
its adherence of the barbarous mob passion which interferes
with the due process Of law, and
"BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED THAT Hadassah join the
ever increasing body of Americans who rightly demand enforc
ed legislation to put an end to lynching and mob violence for
all time in the American republic"

TWENTY HURRAHS
FOR STATES RIGHTS

We admire Senator Borah for much that he has done, and
we hate to bring this up in view of the political situation among
the Republicans, but we do hope he'll read the Tuskegee Inst
tute's annual report on lynching.
The Senator, you will remember objected vigorously to a
Federal anti-lynching law on the ground it would violate State
rights.
Twenty persons, eighteen Negroes, two whites, were lynch
ed in the United States during the year just ended. Eighty-four
others were attacked by lynch MODES, unsucressfully. The
number murdered is an increase of five over last years record.
Senator Borah protects States rights, but States rights didn t
protect the life of one man lynched for "slappnig a woman"
or the life of another murdered for activity in organizing
sharecroppers'
The Senator ought to clip the report to his copy of the
Constitution and read both together.

SERMONETTE
BY Arthur B. RhinOw

Representatives of two divisions
of the same denomination came
together to consider ways anc
means toward effecting a merger
when one of the clergymen sug-
gested that it might be desirble
to open the meeting with prayer.
Immediately there came a protest
from the other side.
No, no." they cried. I'VE are
here to consider the feasibility of
union, and praying together
would mean that the union had
already been consumated.
Some doctrinal subtlety, we be-
lieye, was at the bottom of this
protest, some distinction that was
perfectly justifiable in the opin-
ion of those ministers. Whatever
it was, and however we may agree
or disagree, we cannot help rec
ognizing in the attitude a tribute
to the power of prayer.
When we pray, really pray, we
r one. No union is SO potent as
when hearts unite in seeking God.
Then petty differences fade, and
we wrestle for the mighty things
that makefor harmony.
We know that fanaticism has
often prayed ardently, even fur
iously, but it could not have been
true prayer, for we know we are
not ourselves when we are fanatic,
and wemust be ourselves when we
pray, for only perfect sincerity
can reach the heart of the Al
mighty. And God is love. When
thesoul communes with Him it en-
tiers into the atmosphere of His
essence where evil and fanatics
cannot live.
Beware of prayer! If you want
TO prolong hatred, feuds and wars,
do not think, do not reason, and
by all means dc not pray. There's
power in prayer.
