CONSUMER CO-OPS
HIT BY TRADE UNIT
c. of c. Says Government
Should Not Promote
Movement.
Iy the Associated Press.

q
Contending that the Government
should give no preferential treat
ment" to consumers co-operatives, a
committee of the Chamber OF Com
merce of the United States reported
Yesterday that about 1900 such or
carnations now were active in this
country.
The committee asserted that the
consumers societies had mot yet con-
clusively demonstrated their ability to
reduce costs OF distribution and manu-
facture," and argued that it would be
improper" for Government agencies
to offer them financing, tax exemp-
ton or other aid.
Government representatives recently
began a study of co-operatives in
England and other European coun-
tries.
Small Membership.
The Chamber Of Commerce report
said that less than l per cent of this
country's population belong to CO.
operatives, although such societies en-
brace Is per cent of the population
of the British Isles.
The most rapid growth of the con-
sumer's movement in America, the
committee indicated. had been in
rural areas and small towns. Only "a
per cent of the societies operate re-
tail stores. while 56 per cent are pri.
marily engaged in selling gasoline and
motor oil.
THE concern OF merchants regard
ing consumers co-operatives is that
these organizations are being aided
and promoted through governmental
channels" the report said.
Threaten Merchants"
although the immediate compet-
ton from consumers co-operatives is
not acute. the results which would
follow from active promotion Of the
movement by public bodies threaten
the existence of thousands of mer-
chants throughout the land.
so long as such competition re-
mains on q fair and equal basis and
contains no element of Government
subsidy, competent American mer-
chants can be counted upon to pit
their experience and skill against all
rivals"

NEW STEP IN RECOVERY.
Italian Devaluation Follows Week
Of Read juStment.

NEW YORK. October 5 R.-
Financial circles. welcoming the Ira
into the family of readjusted monies,
said today devaluation Of the Italian
currency was another step in Europe's
progress toward monetary stability
and world trade recovery.
Italy's decision TO devaluate the
lira came in the wake of a week Of
currency revision which started when
France cut the gold content Of her
money.
Other countries which devaluated
their monetary units we're Switzerland
and Holland, both Of which we're on
gold.
The italian lira. however. rode up TO
the devaluation post under the reins of
strict government management. Gold
reserves up to the end Of October,
1885, when the Bank OF Italy diScon-
tinued its condition reports. totaled
$3.50, 0,000, 900.
Government management involved
rigid control Of imports and exports
of gold. goods and currency.
Devalua ton of the lira was regarded
in some banking circles as o long
delayed effort to readjust italian
money into line with other world
currencies.
