TRUMAN BLAMED FOR
HIGH GRAIN PRICES
continued from nrss passl


With an export program based
on early year crop estimates in the
face of q drastically reduced corn
crop which had been evident since
the late wet spring delayed plant
ing" McClintock continued, 1T was
inevitable that the price of grain
would reflect these conditions.
He told news conference the ex-
change officials had not rejected the
governments request for higher
margins on the commodity markets
but that there was no conclusion
reached.
McClintcck said the market Off
cials offered to consider "a variable
scale OF margin requirements in
order to meet the beliefs of the au-
th0rities." But ne said that ]. M.
Mehl, administrator of the Commod-
ity Exchange Authority of the Ag-
riculture Department neither
turned down nor accepted the pro-
posal.
Anderson Invites Probe
Anderson told reporters that I'VE
would be happy to have Congress
Investigate u.s." He agreed govern
menf buying of grain for shortage
areas abroad affected prices.
I'VE have tilted and dropped the
market by our operations, but It
was a question of getting grain foI
hungry people abroad" he said.
Earlier Senator Flanders (R-Vt)
said Congress would be asked to
apply controls" unless commodity
exchanges curb what he termed
EXCESSIVE speculation" in grains
and food. The CIO Full Employ
ment Council asked in statement
for 100 per cent margin require
ments on grain trading.
In another late development bear
ing on the world situation of food
shortages, high prices and the long
range needs of war Reconstruction
Senator Knowland (R-Calif) urged
that European nations getting
American dollars be asked to trade
vital materials for them.

Profits Near Normal

Profits in 1916 were normal in re-
lation to the national income and in
line with long-term ratios for active
years, say Jules Backman and Mar
tin r. Gainsbrugh in a survey of
profits released by National Indus
trial Conference board.
During previous years of high lev
ell employment, and production, the
two economists declare, profits have
averaged between TX per cent and
81s per cent of the national income.
AS a result of the heavy income
taxes levied against corporations,
profits failed to reach this normal
relationship during the war years.
In 1916, after the excess profits
tax was repealed, total corporate
profits were estimated at 7.3 per
cent of the total national income, or
about in line with long-term ratios
for active years.
AL corporations had, profits of A.
per cent on sales in 1899 as COM
pared with Nathan's ratios of ST.
per cent for the last quarter of 1916
and an average of SIS per cent for
the entire year, say Backman and
Gainsbrugh. when allowance is
made for the fact that about a fifth
of the sales were made by deficit
corporations in 1885," they continue,
profits Of going concerns averaged
7.6 per cent In light of the general
ly depressed conditions of the econ
ony during these years. it is not
probable that this return represent
ed an excessive ratio.
According to Nathan's estimates
for manufacturing corporations,
profits in the last quarter Of 1916
were So per cent Of sales, and for
the entire year, 4,8 per cent. This
compares with an average of 81
per cent for all ufacturing in
1899, 6.8 per cent for the profitable
manufacturing corporations in that
year, and 6.S per cent for all manu-
featuring In 1929.

POLAND:
Offer Amnesty

DESTROYS of repatriating thousands
Of Polish exiles spread throughout
Europe, the Mediterranean region
and Canada, the Russian sponsored
Polish government offered political
amnesty to refugees who have op-
posed the present regime or commit
ted crimes against it.
Equally DESTROYS of uniting Poland
itself and checking continuing bloody
civil warfare, the government an
nounced the application of the am
nesty order to 100000 political pris-
oners within the country and mem
bers Of the rightist underground hid
ing out in forest lands.
On the very day that the Warsaw
regime appealed to exiled Poles to
return to their homeland, the British
parliament approved resettlement
bill for $4,000 Polish troops in
Britain. Under the measure, the
Poles will be permitted to remain
and will be trained for peacetime
Jobs.

SLUMS:
Help Needed

Substantial financial aid from the
federal government will be neces-
sary if there is to be any consider
able amount of slum clearance and
sound urban redevelopment in this
country, Louis Justement of the ur-
ban planning committee of Ameri-
can Institute of Architects, asserted.
''This conclusion is shared by the
recently formed interprofessiona
urban planning committee which
agreed that it is desirable that ur-
ban communities should be self
reliant and avoid dependence on fed
eral aid and direction, but pointed
out that practical considerations
make federal participation impera-
tive if s1un clearance and urban
redevelopment are to become a
reality.
Aside from the fact that the cities
do not have the resources with
which to undertake these projects un-
aided, there is the fact that the va
rious cities, villages and unincorpo-
rated communities which lie within
a metropolitan region should under
take urban planning and develop
ment on the basis of an overall
metropolitan area plan, Justement
said.
Federal financial assistance could
be made available through a local
agency organized to function for
an entire metropolitan urban region
without regard to political bound
aries, Justement declared.

FIRE:
Heavy Losses

During 1916. national fire waste
totaled 1851. 487, 900, the highest
losses in 20 years, and the second
highest ever recorded. This destruc-
,tion came within half million dol
lars of exceeding the record year of
1926.
Last year, the waste by fire was
greater than in any Of the years
of vast citywide CONGREGATIONS, such
as 1871, when Chicago burned, or
1906, when fire destroyed virtually
all of San Francisco.
December fire losses of $50, 094,-
900 were the highest recorded in a
single month since the National
Board of Fire Underwriters began
calculating monthly losses in 1929.

PALESTINE:
Problem for U.N.

Strong Arab and Jewish opposi-
ton to the British plan for dividing
Palestine to provide a homeland for
Jewish refugees promised to result
in submission of the problem to the
United Nations to check the out
break of bloody civil war in the
Holy Land.
Britain had appeared too near the
end of her rope in trying to work
out agreement between the Arabs
and Jews. While Jewish terrorists
had goaded the British into devel-
oping compromise plan, they were
reluctant to enforce it against the
unwilling Arabs, the mightiest force
in the strategic and oil-rich Near
East.
Not only could the Arabs create
trouble in Palestine itself but they
also could kick. up in oil-rich Saudi
Arabia and Iraq and exert pres
sure in Egypt along the vital i'm
perial lifeline from the Far East.
Submission of the case to the U.N.
would relieve Britain of the onus Of
imposing peace on hostile coun-
try.

creases commensurate to the rise
in living costs, many business men

Indicative of the inflationary spi-
raj, one American dollar bought 49,
600 Chinese dollars.
With the creeping paralysis in the
Chinese economy intensified by the
civil strife raging between the Ma
tionalists and Communists, the U. S.
decision to abandon it's peace-mak-
ing and pull out of the country was
said to have contributed to the
financial breakdown.
