UP) Stanley M. Bruce, Australian delegate, .told the world economic conference today that his country certainly would not associate itself with any scheme for the restriction of wheat production as a solution for world difficulties. "Australia has not at this moment subscribed to any such scheme," Bruce declared.

Bruce was making an attack upon all sorts of projects for restricting production of commodities but what lie said appeared particularly applic able to wheat for control of which ne gotiations had been going on by the big four producers for more than two months. The Auustralian spokesman was considered in some quarters to have left the door open for further treat ment nf the wheat question however, when he said that lie recognized that in some cases because of extraordin ary surpluses and other conditions, limitation as a remedy might improve conditions.

Not since the frenzied early stages of the decline four years ago had the market witnessed such a q.rstio de flation of values as occurred 1his aft ernoon. Stocks were offered for wnnt they would bring and buyers, for a time, were scarce at any price.

OP) William Green, president of the Amer ican Federation of Lnbor, today de nounced the wage code proposed by tbe lumber industry us insufficient. "The wages imposed in this code do not conform with tho spirit or letter of the recovery net," he protested, at the hearing on the code. The lumber industry must organ ize ns the law permits it to organize and as a result receive a decent price for its product so that it can pay a decent wage and put its hours of work at a point at which it can ab sorb its idle workers." Wages proposed, by the code range from $10.80 in the south to $20.40 per week in the northwest, with hours from 40 to 48, Green objected that such wages would not provide the purchasing power which is the purpose of the law and contended the hours were much too long.

OP) In ft last minute effort to save the principle of a truce in economic warfare, Cordell Hull, American secretnry of Btate, introduced a new resolution in the world economic conference today un der which the United States might take such action as would be neces sitated by the raising of wages and shortening- of hours of labor.' Hull's proposal, presented in a state ment designed chiefly as a basis for study during the recess of the parley which will begin next Thursday, was presented to the economic commis sion after extensive exchange of views with Washington. "The government represented at tbe world economic conference," it sajd, "being desirous of abandoning econo mic conflict and collaborating in seek-, ing general economic improvement through mutually possible exchange of goods, undertake to reai;h an agreement, first in a negative way of ceasing to erect new burners, and then iu a positive wny of progressive reduction of existing barriers." In an accompanying letter the American chief delegate said that bis document advocated the immediate undertaking of reductions of existing barriers by the encourogement of bil ateral and of practical multilateral agreements. "I contemplate," the letter sum, that this truce agreement might be carried into effect when and as the conference truce which I understand remains in effect among adhering stntes during the recess may end.. "This further truce may carry through a longer period required for carrying out the general aim of re ducing exixting barriers. The terms suggested are more precise than those of the conference truce." E, R.
