SOME SHADING
REFLECTED IN
BUTTER VALUE
Portland, Ore., May 21 (IP) De
spite the recent shading of a half
cent a pound on two grades of cube
butter on the produce exchange,
there remains a steady to firm tone
on the open market with former
values well maintained.
The differential between large nr
special eggs and extras was reduced
to 1c, the normal.
The 2c advance in specials and
only lo on extras during a previous
session upset the normal differen
tial between the two sizes although
the open market failed to follow
and continued its usual course.
Improved Oregon and Gold Dol
lar strawberries out of nearby
points are becoming fairly plentiful
and in some quarters there is sug
gestion that by the weekend the
supply will fill all trade wants.
Prices are lower all around.
There is a light run of salmon re.
ported on Tillamook bay, which
opened at noon yesterday for com
mercial fishing.
Owing to the delayed arrival of
halibut boats, there continues a
shortage and well maintained price
on halibut Instead of the lower
prices generally expected by the
trade.
Soft shell crabs from Maryland
and frogs' legs from Louisiana are
being offered $2.50-dozen.
Asparagus prices are about steady
with a good demand.
California strawberries are down
to (1.60-65 for 24s and (1.50 for 20s
Some gooseberries are being of
fered around 6c lb.
Local lettuce Is selling around
$1.75 crate generally.
Better demand for hothouse to
matoes since the price dropped.
Some good choice Valencia oranges
offering around (2.75-(2.90.
Country killed lambs continue
weak and In spots even lower.
Other meats unchanged.
LATE RALLIES
IN WHEAT PRICE
Chicago, May 21 (LP) Short cov
ering brought about a late rally on
the Chicago board of trade today
which sent wheat prices higher.
Wheat closed K to cent a
bushel higher, corn dropped V, to
1V4 cents, oats were tt to i cent
lower and rye advanced to
cents.
Continued rains In the winter
wheat belt, less rainfall in the corn
belt and a dip In Liverpool prices
sent all grains lower at the open
ing. The market continued rela
tively Irregular until near the dose,
when covering by local shorts
brought wheat higher. Little atten
tion was given routine news, al
though lower silver prices Induced
some liquidation.
Improved weather over large
areas of the middle west was
against the yellow cereal, although
Influence of the rally in wheat
brought corn above its lows for the
day.
Trading In the oats pit was fea
tureless and the late rally had lit
tle effect upon this grain. Rye, how.
ever, after selling off to more than
a cent a bushel rose In sympathy
with wheat to finish fractionally
higher.
Chicago, May 21 (IP) Wheat and
corn prices were slightly lower early
today. Background factors were
lower cables and favorable Canad
ian weather reports and the local
over-bought condition. Opening '4

lng level, then lost ground. Corn
started H-T4 off, July 81-Tk,

of the advance under pressure from
local operators.

STOCKS RAISE
UP TO 2 POINTS
SESSION QUIET
New York, May 21 (LP) Quiet
strength developed today on the
stock exchange and prices rose
fractions to 2 points.
Leadership was somewhat better
than yesterday, although buying
continued highly selective. The most
active shares were still those which
ordinarily do not head the list, in
cluding Radio corporation, Serve),
and Sperry. Chrysler, the real lead
er, reached 49 !4 up 2 points and
held most of it.
Railroad shares steadied while
utilities about held their own.
Standard Oil of New Jersey gained
a point to a new high to lead the
oil division higher. American Can,
National Lead, American Chicle,
and Universal leaf tobacco were
among Issues making new tops.
Coppers resumed their rise on fur
ther prospects of an Increase in the
price of the metal abroad.' Tobaccos
picked up and so did farm equip
ments. Building Issues met good
buying, especially the Celotex is
sues. Loew's made a new high for
the year In a firm movie group.
American agricultural chemical
rose 2 points on another revision in
earnings estimates.
Silver shares advanced but failed
to hold the gains when the New
York silver price lost another cent
an ounce. There was little comment
about the treasury's checking im
ports of coin silver. Traders pointed
out it would be simple to have the
coin melted In England and Import
the sliver bars.
Cold issues came to the fore with
Noranda at a new high for the year
at 42 up l'i. In the coppers, gains
ranging to a point were made by
Anaconda, Kennecott, International
Nickel and Phelps Dodge. St. Jo
seph lead rose 1M points to a new
high at 19 li on recent advances in
lead prices.
Sales today approximated 1.140,-
000 shares compared with 070,000
shares yesterday. Curb sales were
254,000 shares compared with 188.
000 shares yesterday.
Dow Jones preliminary closing
averages showed Industrial 115.56
up 0.89, Railroad 31.22 off 0.10, Util
ity 19.38 off 0.06.
PACKING PLANT IN
NEW MANAGEMENT
Tacoma, Wash., May 21 (LP) The
large spruce veneer package corpo
ration at Puyallup opened this
morning under a new agreement
with fruit growers, assuring western
Washington farmers of an ample
supply of crates and hampers in
which to market their crops.
Decision to open the plant was
reached last night at a meeting of
mill workers in Puyallup at which
union officials urged the men to
return to their work under a new
agreement with Floyd Oles, repre
senting farm organizations.
Terms of the Puyallup plant re
opening provide for recognition of
the carpenters' and joiners' union
as the bargaining agency. Workers
will receive the same scale of pay
as before the lumber workers strike
pending settlement to be reached at
a meeting to be held in Portland
Wednesday, Any wage changes will
be retroactive.
Opening of the Columbia box and
veneer company's plant at Puyallup
under similar terms is hoped for by
union officials.
Officers of the Brew Manufactur
ing company at Puyallup dec'. med
to sign a similar agreement. Offi
cials were to confer further with
union leaders this afternoon.
WAGNER BILL TO
GET EARLY ACTION
Washington, May 21 P1 The
house labor committee today clear
ed the way for early house action
by approving unanimously, with
one amendment, the Wagner labor
disputes bill that would set up a
permanent tribunal to adjust con
troversies arising from labor elec
tions. The measure already has passed
the senate by an overwhelming
vote.
The one change would place the
national labor relations board in
the labor department. The bill as
it came from the senate called for
making the agency Independent of
any government department.
The measure would give labor a
permanent legal right to bargain
collectively with employers through
representatives of their own choice.
It would outlaw company domin
ated unions and set up a series of
unfair labor practices which em
ployers would be compelled to ob
serve. House leaders plan to discuss the
measure with the president before
agreeing to give It a rule under
which it may be brought to the
house floor for a vote.
Clark County Crop
Remains In Doubt
A crop advice from the Washing
ton Packing Corporation, Vancou
ver. Washington, Informs that It
was then too early to determine the
condition of the growing prune crop
in Clark county (which is the dried
prune section of Washington state),
according to the California Fruit
News. The weather had been favor
able, with the exception of a few
cold rains at Uie beginning of the
blossoming period. High land dis
tricts In Clark county, Washington,
they report as appearing to nav
prospect of a heavy prune crop but
tn the low land sections where the
blooming period was early, growers
seemed still undecided about their
prospects. ,

BERRY PICKING TO
BE STARTED SOLON
Hubbard Berry picking may be
gin in another week according to
local strawberry growers. Wages for
pickers will possibly be from 1 -t
to 2 cents a pound which is the
same as it was during the latter
part of last year's season. Berries
may not be plentiful as the spit bug

duction If poll! nut ion and other fac
tors continue satisfactory.
Pears: California pears for the
whole state are starting at about

HITLER SAYS
GERMANY FOR
WORLD PEACE
(Continued from page 1)
the world would unite Jointly in
destroying: all their fire gas and ex
plosive bombs, this would be a chea
per affair than destroying each other.
"I cannot close my address better
than by repeating our confession of
faith in peace."
Der Fuehrer made his addresa,
long awaited as a definite statement
of Germany's relationship to the
rest of the world, after receiving an
ovation by hundreds of thousands
of cheering Germans paiking the f
streets outside the Kroll opera
house where the reichstag assem
bled. "I have the duty to speak per-
fectly open," Hitler told his audi-
ence an audience which was mul- u
tiplied by millions through radio.
"The German nation has the right
to demand this from me and 1 am
determined to obey this demand.
"If the Germany of today favors
peace, it favors it neither out oi
weakness nor cowardice. National
socialism (the nazl party) dogmati
cally declines to entertain the idea
of national assimilation. We give no
instructions for the Germanization
of non-German names. We decry
war for the subjugation of foreign
people."
Then he directed his attention
bluntly toward other nations say
ing: "If the nations are so concerned
about numerically increasing then
population, they can accomplish
this through an increasing readi
ness to bring forth offspring and
can, in a very few years, present
their nation with more children of
their own people than they could
foreign peoples vanquished by war."
Again voicing his oft-repeated
contention that Germany desire
peace. Hitler declared:
"Nazi Germany wants peace from
a primitive realization that no war
could be calculated to alleviate the
essentially general European dls-
tress but would tend, on the con- 4.
trary, to increase it.
"Germany of today Is immersed
in the tremendous work of repairing
its domestic damages. None of our
subjects of a factual nature will be
completed before 10 or 20 years.
None of our task of an ideal nature
can find its fulfillment before 50 or
even 100 years.
"What else could I desire but
quiet and peace?"
Speaking of world affairs in gen
eral, the German leader said:
"For some time, the world has
been living in a veritable mania of
collective and cooperative effort
collective security, collective obliga
tion, etc. but what is the meaning
of collective cooperation?
"The present day idea of collec
tive cooperation of nations is the
spiritual property of the American
President Wilson.
"But when, in 1919. the peace of
Versailles was dictated to the Ger
man people, a death sentence was
pronounced thereby on the collec
tive, cooperative efforts of nations,
for, in place of equality of all, there
was put a classic occasion according
to victors and vanquished, in place
of equal rights, there was differen
tiation between those entitled to
rights and those without rights."
Hitler then made a long denunci
ation of the Versailles treaty, stat
ing: "Not only did other nations not
disarm but, on the contrary, they
completed and Improved and there
by raised their armaments extra
ordinarily.1 The speaker followed with a long,
detailed analysis of the armamenU
of other European nations, saying:
"In other words, what was done,
not only ran counter to the inten
tions of President Wilson but also,
according to the opinion of the
most prominent representatives of
the other side, violated the obliga
tions of the Versailles treaty to 1
which they had affixed their signa- '
tures."
"For this there was no excuse.
