Will Roosevelt Run!
Mother Doesn't Know

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., April S.
President Roosevelt's decision on
whether he will seek third term
must be a well-guarded secret, for
not even his mother knows the
answer.
The Presidents IS = year old
mother, Mrs. Sarah Delano Roose-
welt, said at a press conference yes
terday that her son had never said
anything to her about running for
a third term.
Commenting on his possible can
didacy, Mrs. Roosevelt said:
II think he probably knows more
than most people who would run
for President.
"He is an unusually well-educated
man. He had great opportunities
and made full use of them to learn.
He Is particularly well fitted in
knowledge of his country and other
countries, but I cannot say whether
I want him to run again. "''
It'd like to have him at home. He
is very fond of our country place and
I think, he would enjoy being there,
but still he would be constantly
called away for this thing and that"
Mrs. Roosevelt came here Wednes-
day to recover from a heavy cold.
She said she was now feeling fine"
and expected to return to her New
York home on Monday.

Physicians Form
Group 10 Devise
Care for Needy
Committee Independent
Of Medical Association
In Medical Service Work
~ the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, April 5.--A group of
physicians announced today forma-
ton of national organization to
devise means of providing medical
service to the INDECENT and those IN
the lower-income brackets while
maintaining the system of independ-
ent medical practice.
Entitled the National Physicians
Committee for the Extension of
Medical Service, the organization
stated it had nearly 5000 physicians
voluntarily contributing to its sup
port either directly or through med
ical societies.
Its central committee of 452 mem
bers includes representatives of every
State. The organization, non profit,
has been set up by the doctors them
selves in the last four months and
Is independent of the American
Medical Association or other groups,
but designed to carry ON activities
beyond the educational and scientific
scope to which the association is
limited.
During the last few months" a
committee statement said, there
has been much agitation in connec-
ton with a so-called demand for a
different type of distribution Of
medical service.
"This agitation led to a study of
this vitally important problem by
independent physicians. "''
Fully realizing that this was a re-
sponsibility of the profession, ply
sicians assumed the task of organ
izing this independent, group and
undertaking the necessary research
and study to make more generally
known the methods, progress and
achievements of the medical profess
sion and to aid in making more
generally available the existing re-
sources of medicine and the facil-
tiles of hospitals"
Committee headquarters have
been set up in Chicago. Physicians
will work toward meeting the COM
mittee's objectives in their own
localities and forward their findings
to the headquarters, which will serve
as clearing house for ideas.

Traders were scarce in board

Rubber Export Quota
Increased al London
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 5.-The Interna-
tlonal Rubber Regulation Commit
tee today raised the export quota
on crude rubber for the final half
OF this year to IS per cent of the
basic quotas from the previously
fixed 80 per cent.
In New York commodity circles
the action of the rubber export
control in boosting quotas for the
July-December period was presumed
to have been taken to permit build
ing of reserve supplies in the United
States.
The Reconstruction Finance Corp.
1T was noted, has arranged to pro-
vide the funds for accumulation of
100000 tons of rubber as a war;
time reserve in addition to the 85..
600 tons involved in the rubber
cotton barter with England. At the
end Of May, only 19,5OO tons of the
bartered rubber was reported to
have reached the United States.
The IS per cent quota, a rubber
authority said, will permit monthly
shipments of about 10000 tons from
the producing regions in the Far
East. providing cargo space can be
obtained.
World consumption, he said, has
been ranging from 10000 to 95 1000
tons in recent months, with the
United States using around $4,000
tons monthly. Latest figures showed
stocks in this country totaled l6l,-
600 tons, including the bartered
rubber, equivalent to a little more
than three months requirements
at the recent rate of use.
The rubber trade, it was explained,
regards the present reserves as too
small for comfort in view of the
threat against British power in the
Far East and United States defense
plans.

British Not Expected
To Take More u, ),
Dairy Products
Increasing Proportion
Of Needs Are Filled
By Dominions
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, July 5.-Traders on
the Chicago Mercantile Exchange
today expressed little optimism over
the possibility of increased exports
of dairy commodities to England
despite elimination of the rich Scan
dinavian and Low Country sources.
They had held out some hope for
increased exports to England when
the Scandinavian and Low dairy
lands came under Nazi control and
this optimism was reflected in mar
ket prices about two weeks ago when
the British Purchasing Commission
placed its first orders for canned
milk
Washington officials, however, were
quick to assert that these purchases
would not be in amount large
enough to cause any extensive boom
Department of Agriculture estimates
indicated that with the exception of
prepared milk and eggs, there is no
immediate prospect of any substan-
tial increase in produce exports.
Other Markets Closed.
Even though several years will be
required to restore Scandinavian
and low dairy land production of
normal, traders question whether
Germany. with her barter trade sys-
tenn, will import dairy commodities
from this country.
Furthermore, should domestic pro-
duction be geared up to meet any
possible demand from Central Eu-
rope, producemen wonder what
would happen to the domestic mar
ket when conditions in Europe re-
turn to normal.
Before the World War Denmark
was England's chief source of but
ter imports, and this source was
almost entirely eliminated during
the war. Since then, however, New
Zealand and Australian exports
have rapidly increased until before
the present conflict they and other
dominion countries supplied Eng
land with so per cent of her butter
imports. England imported only 80
per cent from Scandinavian coun-
tries. Moreover, reports indicate
that England had been accumulat-
ing considerable butter and has re-
placed much of the lost supply with
home-produced oleomargarine. Eng
land imports 81 per cent of her
cheese from dominion countries.
Egg Shortage Faced.
England formerly imported 38.5
per cent of her egg supply from
scandinavian countries, only 1873
per cent from dominion countries
and 482 per cent from other coun-
tries, of which some, chiefly Belgium
and Holland, have been rendered
questionable as importing sources.
England, moreover, is confronted
with a shortage of home-produced
eggs in the latter half of 1910 due
to a Is per cent reduction in her
home flocks.
Before the outbreak of the war
England imported 40 per cent of it's
evaporated and condensed milk from
dominion countries, and most of the
remainder from Scandinavian and
Low Countries, chiefly Netherlands,
which was the leading exporter of
preserved milk.
During the World War United
States exports of eggs and preserved
milk to England climbed rather
steeply and is expected to do so to
a certain extent at least during the
present conflict.

states that more than 80 per cent

WHEAT INSURER COVERS LOSS
IN INSTALIMENTS

"All-risk" wheat crop insurance
has made it possible for growers to
pay the cost of crop loss or failure
on the installment plan. Under the
program, which was introduced to
farmers in 1889 by the Federal
Crop Insurance Corporation, wheat
growers may insure either SO or rs
percent of their longtime average
yield against loss from natural I'M
avoidable hazards. To insure, the
grower pays to the agency OF the
United States Department OF Agri-
culture a premium, calculated In
bushels of wheat, which is directly
proportate to the crop losses he has
experienced on his farm in the past.
Since every wheat grower must
pay the cost of crop failure in the
long run, officials of the Corporation
point out that payment of the prem
ium does not add to the expense of
growing wheat because growers who
take out insurance regularly are
likely to get back in indemnities ap-
proximately what they have paid in
as premiums.
The main difference between the
insured farmer and the one who does
not insure is this: The insured farm
er pays small part of his yield
each year for guarantee that he
will have income every year from
at least IS percent Of his average
crop. The farmer who does not in
sure may have to pay all of his cost
of crop failure in the form Of poor
yields or complete failure in the
bad years, leaving him with little
or no income for those years.
