OUTLOOK CLOUDED
BY THREE FACTORS
Floods, Strikes and Unfavorable
Weather Conditions Cited by
Standard Statistics.

Special pisps tch to The Star.
NEW YORK. February lin its
weekly summary of the general busi-
ness situation, the Standard Statistics
Co. of New York, currently comments
as follows:
Although business activity is con-
tinuing to hold we'll above the levels
prevailing at this time last year, the
near term outlook is somewhat clouded
by strikes, floods and adverse weather
conditions in certain parts of the coun-
try.
The floods along the Ohio and
Mississippi Rivers are unlikely to have
a serious adverse effect on general in
dustrial activity. Unlike the Spring
floods of last year, the Pittsburgh area
has not been affected to an important
degree, and the large industrial organ
lzations in that locality have been COM
paratively free from damage.
while the recent floods may have
covered a wider area and may have
caused greater aggregate property loss,
the bulk of the damage was done in
the less important industrial areas.
Thus, serious interruption in operat-
ing schedules Of leading industries
steel, for examples improbable.
Although the great destruction Of
wealth by the floods is naturally an
adverse development, many lines stand
to benefit from rehabilitation work
Producers of household products,
paints, building materials Gncluding
lumber, cement and roofings), road
building materials, electrical utility
equipment and cables will more or less
benefit"

Draw Attention
TOFilm Industry
Ry the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, January 1.-Prelimi-
nary figures showing that 100000
people, on an average, attended motion
picture theaters each week in 1896
have drawn the attention of Wall
Street analysts to possibilities for 1887.
Primarily. movie men say, the in
creased attendance-l936 figures were
10 per cent above those for 1935-may
be traced to the general economic up
swing with its added employment and
consequent freer expenditure.
Technical and artistic improvement
OF the pictures themselves has at
tracted a new audience which may be
expected to remain These factors
have made possible boosts in admis-
sIons and in film rentals.
On the other hand, analysts point
out, improved pictures mean higher
production costs. Then too, in the
larger cities, the stage has provided
some competition. as have the new
types of radio programs which bring
excellent talent to home entertainment

Farm Measure Ready

VOLUNTARY crop control for
V wheat, corn, rice and cotton;
and compulsory limitation OF tobac-
co production, are provided for in
the new farm measure drafted by
the house committee on agriculture
for action in the extraordinary ses-
sion of congress.
Secretary Wallace's lever normal
granary" plan is included in the
bill. The measure also provides
for "tariff equalizing taxes" which
would be actually a revival of the
processing taxes which the Supreme
court declared unconstitutional.
These taxes would be applied only
to wheat, cotton and rice-3 cents
a pound on cotton, 20 cents bushel
on wheat and " cent pound on
rice.
The policy of congress is declared
to be to maintain ESQ far as prac-
ticable both parity of prices paid to
farmers for all agricultural COM
modities marketed by them for do
nestle consumption and export and
parity income for farmers market
ing such commodities"
Benefit payments would be made
only to producers taking part in the
general program, and would be
based on (D the use OF land, ~
changes in the use of land, and (3)
the percentage of normal produc-
ton going into domestic con-
sumption. Also no benefit payment
in excess of $4,000 would be paid
any one producer.
For the protection of consumers
the bill provides that when prices of
the respective commodities exceed
Sarity by 10 per cent the secretary
of agriculture shall call outstanding
commodity loans, thus releasing
stored commodities and in this way
preventing excessive prices.

of the South American republics,
will adhere to the agreement.
Political observers saw the pros
pect of world divided into three
camps - fascist, communist and
democratic.
Emerging as one of the probable
chief leaders of this united front is
Joachim Won Ribbentrop, German
ambassador to Great Britain. Hitler
sent him to Rome to sign the new
pact, and it is expected that the
headquarters of the alliance will be
in Berlin.
Officials in Rome stated the pact
was not directed against any coun-
try and said Russia might have all
the communism it wants so long as
she keeps it at home. But they in
timated the military forces of the
signatories were ready to back up
the agreement. Virginia Gayda, au-
thoritative commentator, said that
1000, 900 tons of warships and 200,-
600. 900 persons are now at the dis
posal of the anti-communist front.
In Berlin the mouthpiece of the
foreign office asserted the pact has
the backing of 100000 people
"who are not prepared for any po-
litical reasons to allow the primary
necessity for fighting bolshevism to
drop into the background"
There was a belief in European
capitals that there were secret mill
tary clauses in the agreement, and
this suspicion was intensified by
the. fact that German warships
joined Italian warships in target
practice off the Italian naval base
of Gaeta.
One OF the possible implications of

York, piled up majority of asa ,425.
The Republicans hailed the result
as a great victory for their party,
and it was. But it also put the La
Dor party in the position of holding
the balance of power in future cleo
tions in the metropolis.
Second in interest only to the
mayoralty vote was the fact that
Thomas E. Dewey, the young man
who smashed organized crime and
the rackets in New York, was elect
ed district attorney, defeating Har-
old w. Hastings, the Tammany NOM
inee. Dewey, who is only thirty-five
years old, promises reform in the
methods of the Office, and his record
gives assurance these will be car
ried out.
The Republicans regained control
of the New York state assembly
and Of many upstate cities.

He reaffirmed China's determine

Success of the Brussels conference

can, but only by virtue of a big ma
jority in Hudson county. Moore has
held the office twice before. 1t was
the first time in the states history
that a governor has won third
term. The state constitution prohib-
it's a consecutive reelection but
Moore was elected in 1925 and again
in 1881, each time for three-year
term.
James M. Curley, who has been
three times mayor of Boston and
once governor of Massachusetts,,
tried again for the mayoralty, but
was defeated by Maurice J. Tobin,
like Curley Democrat.
Philadelphia went Democratic, as
did Pittsburgh, which reelected
Mayor Cornelius Scully.
