Purchasing Agents
See No Signs Of
U. s. Upturn
Paint Gloomy Picture
Of Business and
Employment
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. March 23.-A some-
what gloomy picture of current busi-
ness conditions and employment
throughout the United States was
drawn today by the National Asso-
citation of Purchasing Agents
monthly report made public today.
During the past two months gen.
eral business volume in this country
has been declining constantly" the
report said, but in the face of this
downward movement becoming more
pronounced in certain sections, there
Is so far little evidence of actual
alarm on the part of the multi
tude."
In a sectional breakdown, general
business conditions in March were
reported slower than the previous
month in every region of the United
States, although Canadian business
was improved.
Commodity prices sagged further
in each section of the country, too,
remaining unchanged in Canada.
Inventories were further reduced
in the United States, higher in
Canada.
Collections were unchanged every
where, and credit ample.
Employment declined throughout
the United States, but was un-
changed in Canada.
Buying policy in the East was on
One-to-tWo months ahead basis:
in the Middle West and West to meet
requirements one to three months
ahead; in Canada on a two-to-three
months plan.
The report said:
There is little evidence that any
immediate turn for the better is in
prospect"
Citing opinion ION all sides" that
effective European peace moves
would have immediate detrimental
effect" upon United States industry,
the report agreed that such an effect
was possible in Canada, but said:
I'm this country, however, new
bookings of European goods are of
less consequence. and it is difficult
to see where any deterring factors
would occur should declarations Of
peace appear; in fact, the reverse
should be the case"

Low-Priced Carrier
Issues Improve on
Bond Market
Other Groups Tend
Higher; Government
List Turns Up
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 23.-The
bond market had the benefit of good
buying tn the low-priced rails to-
day, and while the trend was not uni
formly higher, the biggest changes
were those on the upside.
Traders apparently ignored small
decline in carloadings last week
when seasonal factors call for an
increase, and looked at the broader
and longer range outlook for the
. carriers. News that the Reconstruct
ton Finance Corp. was ready to let
the Great Northern have all the
money needed to care for nearby
maturities was among favorable de-
velopments.
Issues gaining fractions to points
or more included Erie SIS at 157s, ST.
Paul IS at 7, Illinois Central 434s at
42%, Boston & Maine SIS of 1867 at
so and Missouri Pacific SIS at 20.
Ahead in other groups were Beth
lehem Steel 31as at 1922, Montana
Power 334s at 100, Remington Rand
4As at 100A and Western Union
5s at 67ls.
Finland IS gave up 2 points on
light offerings, but other north coun-
try bonds in the foreign dollar
group were conspicuous by their alb
sence from the tape and when sale
was made it was mostly at un-
changed levels. Other outland dollar
issues likewise were quiet and with
out important change.
United States Governments re-
versed the trend in vogue most of
the week and ended up 2/32 to 1882
of a point, but dealings were light.
Total sales of 5000 ,050, face value,
compared with $3,021, $50 last Sat-
urday.

New Airplane Mail Act Is Explained

Recent legislation authorizing the Postoffice Department to car ry all classes of mail by plane in Alaska merely sets the seal of official approval on a practice which has been in effect in the Territory for some time.
 The system, the legality of which is clearly established by the new bill introduced by Dele gate Dimond calls for all mail whether it carries airmail post age or not to be carried by plane to points not served by regular authorized airmail routes.
 For instance, letter for Sitka is carried by plane even though it bears only a three-cent stamp. A letter for Fairbanks on the other hand must carry six-cent airmail stamp, as there is reg ular Nome-Fair'banks airmail route.
 The system has particular val ue to the people of Nome who will receive all mail at regular rates by air during the winter.

 Those chaps with the lilies in their lapels are the COP (P for purity) crusaders of the Repubh- can National Committee, horri- fled because some B postmaSterS have contributed to the Demo- cratic party. (The Hatch act per mits this.)
 If you notice a funny smell about those lilies, it's because the perfume doesn't quite cover up the fact that the Republican par ty. when last in power not only accepted contributions from post masters but blackjacked them right out in meetin.'
 Lest we forget we take you back to Springfield, Mo. where on May l6, 1892 Mir. w. Irving Glover, Assistant Postmaster General, was addressing the Mis- Souri Postmaster's Association. Glover shouted: Get out on the firing line in support of Hoover or quit.
 "Tll be back in Washington Monday and be glad to take the resignations of any of you post masters who don't want to do it."
 This wasn't an idle outburst in an unguarded moment. No less a Stalwart than Postmaster Gener- al Walter L. Brown told the same thing to the National Associa- ton of Postmasters. To quote the New York Times headline:
 "Postmasters Told to Enter Pol itics: Brown Informs Convention First Three Glasses Are Not Bar red by Law; Calls for Aid in Campaign.
 This, incidentally, is the same Walter L. Brown who in the dark days of 1882 bought a second Lincoln limousine at Govern ment expense because the first one purchased for him did not have sufficient room for his high silk hat.
 It is the same Walter L. Brown whose records as Postmaster Gen eral were burned before he left office in 1883, so the public could not know what was in them.
 So, folks, if the lilies smell Gk something else-you'll un- derStand.

DEFENSE OF CANAL ZONE NEW PHASE

 In disclosing that European air activities are being stimulated regularly in the skies over the canal and adjacent territory, Brig. General Standerford Jar men commanding General of the Panama coast artillery brigade said that a new type of night raid is being tested and that troops are being trained in the methods of coordinating team work between the defending air craft and ground defenses.
 Basically the new tactics fea- ture the distant circle use ot anti-aircraft searchlight batter ies to illuminate attacking bomt CTS so that protecting pursuit planes can engage in battle be- fore nearing decisive zone When bombers are able to gel through these outer rings o1 light without being intercepted by pursuit aviation they are ther engaged by anti-aircraft gun de. lenses.
