New York, July 21 OT The United States is likely to be nicked for a larger part of its exports to the British pound sterling area than the 25 per cent cut announced by London. At the present rate of our exports to Britain and her com monwealths, a 25 per cent cut would mean about $560 million loss to American traders, farm- ers, miners, and manufacturers. But some think this loss may run as high as $700 million a year. It may mean a loss of around 30 per cent of common wealth trade and one-third or better of exporU to the United Kingdom alone. They figure It this way: Britain and her commonwealths, other than Canada, are pledged to trim one-fourth off their buy ing from the dollar area as a whole. That includes the United States, Canada and most of Latin America. But foreign trade sources predict that the drop in Canadian and Latin American trade with the sterl ing area will be cut much less than the trade with the United States. The British aren't saying yet just how and where they plan to scrimp. But the trade figures involved, and the American products endangered by tiie new austerity look like this: U. S. exports to the United Kingdom were running early this year at an annual rate of $710 million. One-fourth loss on that would be only $175 mil lion. But economic cooperation administration Hoffman has esti mated loss to American export ers at $250 million, or more than a third of the total. American trade with the com monwealth nations, other than Britain and Canada, was run ning early this year at an annual rate of $1,545,000,000. One fourth of that would be a loss of $3B6 million. But foreign traders here think that the com monwealths too are likely to trim buying from us more dras tically than from others in the dollar area. And they think that the percentage of loss in the commonwealth trade may run higher than in United King r1 ""n trade, because British buy i j will be bolstered by ECA funds and orders. Canada has estimated her loss of United Kingdom trade at about $75 million. She thinks her loss of commonwealth trade will be light. She hopes that wherever there is a choice Cana dian goods will be favored over America. Such products could be lum ber, newsprint and woodpulp, nonferrous metals and wheat. Already the American farm bloc is busy trying to get con gress to see that Marshall plan dollars are spent for American surplus wheat, not Canadian. Americans realize the British are acting out of necessity, but that doesn't keep it from hurt ing throughout the dollar area. With the exception of sugar and newsprint, most of the things the British propose to buy less of are offered for sale by Amer icans. The American tobacco farmer has already learned that he has lost the sale of $20 million worth to the United Kingdom, How much more he'll lose in common wealth sales he doesn't know yet, but it may be enough to put a quaver in the auctioneer's chant. ECA has hastened to au thorize purchase of about $28 million of U. S. tobacco to bol ster both European and U. S tobaccomen's morale. U. S. lumbermen also learned today that ECA in authorizing purchase of $4 million of their products for the United King dom, at the same time took $6 million of Canadian lumber. The odds may be even more in the months ahead. In order to supervise the big job of taking the current Census of Business, covering operations in 1048 of almost 3 million esta blishmcnts, the United States Bureau of the Census has ex panded Its normal number of field offices from 68 to 300 temporarily. Wheat Price Support $2.01 Government price support on the 1949 crop of wheat will be $2.01 a bushel to farmers in Marion county, according to W. M. Tato, chairman of the county agricultural conservation com mittee. Loans will be available through the commodity credit corporation through January 1950, and will mature on. April 30, 1950, or earlier on demand The national average loan rate to farmers for 1949-crop wheat is $1.95 a bushel, which is HO per cent of parity as of July 1 the beginning of the marketing year. Last year's rate was $2. Wheat support prices at ter minal markets will range from $2.16 to $2.38 a bushel for 1949 crop No. 1 wheat stored in ell gible warehouses at specified terminal markets. The rate quoted for Portland is $2.16 per bushel. Only wheat grading No. 3 or better, or No. 4 or No. 5 because of test weight or because it con tains wheat of the classes durum andor red durum, will be eli gible for loan or purchase. A schedule of premiums and dis counts for various quantities of the 1949-crop wheat, differing slightly from those in effect for the 1948 crop, will be issued at an early date. Overseas Planes Halted by Strike New York, July 21 U.R Some 70 AFL radio officers struck against American Overseas Air lines today, grounding the com pany's transAtlantic flights in a "no contract, no work" dis pute. A company spokesman said three scheduled flights to Eu rope would be cancelled today. He did not know whether three incoming flights would be held up on the other side of the At lantic. A contract between the air line and the Flight Communi cations Offic ers association (AFL) expired June 15 and the company has refused the union's demand for a clause in the new contract calling for up to $4,500 severance pay for five years' service. Suremouse 'Slips'; j Twin Entire Litter j Lebanon Announcement Is, made from Eichner's feed store that Suremouse is the mother of! twins. When Proprietor Kenneth I Eichner opened doors for busi- ness after the week-end, his 1001 percent efficient mouse-catcher failed to appear at the front door to greet him. j It was not a new occurrence' for her to miss. She has done so on an average of two or three time each year for the past 18 years, and each time she was I held up by a blessed event. Suremouse was discovered hidden away in an old wooden crate in the feed room, purring over two tiny tiger striped kit tens. Eichner stated that the stork was not expected for some time and an appropriate basin ette had not been prepared, but he made haste to provide an empty feed box with straw mat ting and a soft bed of feed sacks In all her 18 years of kitten bearing, Suremouse s latest lit ter is her smallest. Families us ually ran from four to five. She has maintained, until the pres ent, an average of 12 kittens each year. The Western Hemisphere pro duces 77.8 per cent of the world's oil in 1948.
