policy since the World war.
Declaring his belief that peace
will be maintained, Chamberlain
said: 1T cannot imagine any events
in Europe which would change the
fundamental basis of British for
eign policy, which is the mainte-
nance and preservation of peace.
However, that does not mean that
nothing would make us fight"
Cheers greeted this declaration.
Though he said central, Europe
was not an area where vital British
interests are at stake, he gave plain
warning that if German aggression
should result in war there, Britain
might be forced into it.
He fatty turned down Soviet Rus
sia's call for consultation against
aggressor nations.

Wheat Crop Estimates

DREDICTION by the bureau of ag-
ricultural economics of the De-
partment of Agriculture is that this
years wheat crop will be 0,000, 1000
bushels, or 100, 1000, 900 bushels in ex-
cess of the 1926 average. The
survey estimates that the wheat
carry-over in 1889 will be around
300, 100000 bushels.
The record wheat crop is based on
the following factors: If farmers
seed the acreage indicated in the
prospective-planting report, and if
average yields are obtained, this
years spring wheat crop, including
durum, will total about 10000, 900
bushels. This, together with the
winter crop of about 10000, 900
bushels, indicates prospective out
put of 100000 bushels.

Silver Buyina Halted

CECRETARY OF THE TREAS
y URY MORGENTHAU announced
that the United States had discon-
tinued the purchase of Mexican sill
yer until further notice. This prob
ably was a direct result of Mexico's
appropriation of foreign oil proper

considers hard blow to his "good
neighbor" policies. Price of silver
was cut cent an ounce.
The United States Treasury has
been buying 5000, 900 ounces of new

month, paying around $4,000, 900 for
it at the artifcially maintained New

Profits Tax Out

TFOTtTS ak 0ut
DAT HARRISON meant what he
said about altering the revenue
bill that was passed by the house.
His senate finance committee is
making the changes. BY vote Of
II to A it eliminated from the meas
ure. the undistributed profits tax
principle, substituting therefor fiat
corporation income tax of 10 per
cent.
AS a further means of stimulating
business and investment the COM
mittee adopted a provision dras-
tically modifying the capital gains
and losses tax. The committee re-
moved capital gains on assets held
for more than Is months from the
income tax category and substituted
instead flat rate of Is per cent,
which was what business and indus
try wanted.
In an effort to clear the way for
speedy enactment of the tax relief
legislation, the committee rejected
system of processing taxes on
wheat, corn, cotton, tobacco, and
rice, which the administration de-
sires to finance proposed additional
bounties to farmers amounting to
5000, 100000 a year.

Utilities Must REGISTER

IN A to l decision, the United
States Supreme court upheld the
registration provisions of the Wheel
er-Rayburn public utility act of
1885, but did not pass on the con-
stitutionality of other parts of the
law, including the death sentence
for holding companies.
The court sustained an order of
the New York Federal District court
requiring the Electric Bond and
Share company and IA associated
utility holding companies to register
with the Securities and Exchange
commission or else be denied the
use of the mails and other facilities
of interstate commerce.
Chief Justice Hughes delivered the
