Institute of Public Opinion.
In a trial heat" between the two
men, the Institute asked cross
section Of voters of both parties:
IF President Roosevelt runs for
a third term in 1910 on the Demo-
cractic ticket against Senator Rob-
ert Taft on the Republican ticket,
which one would you prefer?
Among those expressing an opin-
ion. the vote was:
hOOseNru ............. .oVNo
Tart .o0
Approximately one person in
every six 16 per cent? said he
had no opinion.
The survey was the second in
which Roosevelt's third-term popu-
larity has been tested in relation
to a specific Republican opponent.
Several weeks ago the Institute
ran a trial heat between Roose-
welt and Thomas e. Dewey of New
York.
A preference for Dewey was ex-
pressed by SIS per cent of voters
with opinions, against As per cent
for Roosevelt. Thus, on the basis
OF present day sentiment. a Roose-
welt ticket would run a better race
against Senator Taft than against
Dewey. These measurements of
sentiments are, Of course, merely
tests in a Hypothetical race and.
with the campaign still more than
year off, opinion can easily
change.
Many Democrats Favor Taft
The even division Of sentiment
between Roosevelt and Taft is
brought about mainly because a
large bloc Of voters who were for
Roosevelt in 1885 say they would
switch parties to vote for Taft.
Their chief reason. judging by the
comments they make, appears To
be opposition to a third term. The
party division follows:
Favor Favor

In explaining their reasons for
fsvoring Taft, the largest group OF
voters say they are against third
term, and the second reason given
is loyalty to the Republican par.

Justification for floating new Euro
pesn loans.
In it's new survey. just COM
pleted. the institute asked a repre-
sentative cross-section of the cleo
torate:
If England and France pay
something on the war debts
they now owe us. should the
United States lend them more
money!"
The public's answer as indicated
in replies from every one of the As
states, is clear no"
The actual vote is:
Favor New Loans .......21%
Oppose New Loans ......19%
Less than one person in ten says
he is undecided or without an opin-
ion on the subject.
JOHNSON ACT BARS
LOANS TO DEFAULTERS
Typical voter comments show
that the American public is set
against further loans for two main
reasons: because the European bor-
rowers, with the exception of Fin
land. have been in virtual default
for several years, and because
Americans fear that new loans
would involve the United States in
"entangling alliances" and draw
this country into war.
Both of these arguments are re-
Elected in the johnson act, authored
by Senator Hiram Johnson tRep)
Of California, which forbids the
floating of loans by nations whose
existing debts are in default.
Both Republican and Democratic
voters agree on the principle of
no new loans in today's survey.
SLIGHT INCREASE
IN FAVOR OF LOANS
There has been a slight increase
in sentiment for such loans since
January, 1887, when the institute
conducted a national survey on the
same issue. The trend of public
/ opinion is shown in the following

SpeClal DISPATCH 10 Inc SthI
NEW YORK, May 17-Though
machine tool sales continue in fairly
healthy volume, considerable un-
easiness exists in machinery circles,
according to Burnham Finney in
today's issue of American Machinist.
For one thing, too large a pro-
portion of current orders comes from
foreign sources or from the Govern
ment rather than from private in
dustry. Moreover, the feeling is
growing that Congress will not enact
at this session any important legis-
lation helpful to business. The ma
chine tool index for April was down
to 1856, compared with 1854 in
March.
Considerably more foreign ma
chinery business is in sight, especial
ly from France and Russia. Gov
ernment purchases also will be large
in the months Immediately ahead.
Shipbuilding. aircraft and aircraft
parts, railroad equipment. farm i'm
plements and ordnance products are
the most active sectors in the metal
working industry.
"Spotty conditions prevail around
the country, many plants running
more than one shift and others rela-
lively fiat because of lack of orders.
In New England, Army, Navy and
private shipyards continue active as
buyers of machinery. Springfield
Armory has purchased more ma
chinery. Indian Motorcycle has
won a sizable contract from the War
Department. Motor and electrical
control equipment sales are expand
ing. A contract has been placed for
$500 900 of electric equipment for
paper mill. Tool steel bookings
are up.
cat New York shipyards are work.
ing at full capacity and builders of
marine equipment, such as turbines,
are busy. Factories making pre-
cision aircraft parts are running on
multiple shifts. Auto parts COM
panies, on the other hand, are cur
failing operations as the tag end Of
the season approaches. Amtorg is
expected soon to inquire for a large
number of machine tools. A French
mission also will buy equipment for
French plants awarded educational
orders. Heavy press makers are busy
filling foreign orders.
"At Pittsburgh steel operations
have gradually declined the past
month from 52.1 per cent to Al per
cent. A further drop is looked for.
No improvement is likely until auto
mobile companies place initial re-
leases for 1910 models late In June.

Business Inventories
Termed 'HeaIthiest'
In Three Years
Raw Material Supplies
Drop, While Sales
Rise Steadily
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. May 17.-Business
inventories today were reported the
"healthiest' in over three years
Studies indicated supplies of raw
materials in the hands of private in
dustry were around 7 to Is per cent
under last year at this time.
Moreover. sales of leading indus
trial and retail concerns were aver
aging to 18 per cent above last
year.
The bigger the volume OF sales the
larger the volume Of raw supplies a
firm is warranted to carry in it's bins.
the experts say.
So rising finished goods have COM
bined with consumption of raw ma
terials on hand to better the inven-
tory tone.
Prices of raw materials as meas
ured by the Associated Press index
of IS weighted spot wholesale quo
tations, have been pointing upward
now for around three weeks. A low
for 1889 was touched by the index on
April Is last, but since then the
measure has been inching ahead.
The index. with 1926 as 100. now
stands at about 66.70, compared with
the years low in April of 6493.
Further commodity price advances
may be in store. according to econo-
mists, if buying of raw materials de-
velops on wider scale in the fall.
But some continued caution may
be due.
1t was only few years ago ousi-
ness made bad guess" in judging
the future, and since then inventory
buying has been on a hand-to-
mouth basis generally.
It WAS back in May. 1896, traders
recalled today, that big industrial
companies began laying in supplies
for fall in the belief the American
economic machine was ready to pro-
ceed under full steam after q falter-
ing post-depression course.
