Control Preferable
To Price 5pird|s,
Stannard Says
President Of Kennecott
Says Aftermath Of Sharp
Rises Is Terrible
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 7.-E. T. STAN
nard, president of Kennecott Copper
Corp, one of the largest domestic
producers, had this to say about cop
per prices yesterday at the annual
meeting:
"As between a price of II cents
and a level of 20 cents a pound, I
think the present price 12 cents is
Intimately better for Kennecott and
its stockholders because the after
math on industry of a period of
sharply rising prices and consump-
ton is SO terrible that it is much
better to have a 12-cent price"
He said the ultimate decision as
to price rested with Leon Henderson,
the Governments price expert, but
added it is generally accepted to be
the sense OF Government authorities
that the price remain static. He said
il some sort of control had not been
imposed already the exceptionally
heavy demand would have forced
the price to substantially higher
levels Thus far Mr.. Henderson
has only suggested that primary
producers hold the price at its
present levels.

Assails Sub Warfare.
He also asSailed the character of
German submarine warefare in the
North Atlantic, calling it Illegal
and a violation of law and
humanity"
The U-boat tactics, he said, were
Identical with those of 1917 when
they caused the President and Con-
greSs TO take up arms in defense
of the freedom of the seas"
The charge that Germany had
extended the unrestricted zone to
hemisphere waters and forbidden
us to enter was the first such
assertion to come from a high adj
ministration official. 1t was thought
that Mr.. Stimson referred to the
fact that the Nazi danger zone now
extends to within a few miles of
the coast of Greenland where
United States. defense bases are
being established.
Mr.. Stimson's mention of the doc
trine of freedom Of the seas, coupled
with the parallel he drew between
U-boat warfare in 1917 and l941. was
interpreted in some quarters as
yelled notice from the administra-
ton to Germany that there were
limits to what the United States
would tolerate.
Policy May Be eaSserted.
In this connection, it was said,
the War Secretary's emphasis on
freedom of the seas might presage
a formal administration reassertion
of the historic American policy on
that point-a move which would
necessitate repeal of the Neutrality
Act-and then insistence, as in 1917,
that Germany respect this country's
right to such freedom on the high
seas.
Senate opponents of administra-
ton foreign policy said they re-
garded MIR. Stimson's address and
Senator Peppers speech in the Sen

ascertain the country's sentiment

While the immediate reaction of
Wall Streeters was that the move
represented a drastic step to cut the
Gordian knot of conflict and dis
agreement between Wall Street and

stock exchange said today that Mr..
Schram was selected chiefly for his
proven administrative abilities. One
