ASKING LOWER . COFFEE PRICE NEW YORK, December 24.---- The National Coffee Roasters Associa-- tion has asked Secretary of Com-- merce Hoover to assist the Ameri-- can coffee trade in seeking any pos-- sible remedy for present high costs of coffee. This announcement was made here today by Felix Coste, sec-- retary of the Association. Mr. Coste reached New York this afternoon from Washington and made public the recommendations embodied in a brief which the cof-- fee roasters presented to the Sec-- retary of Commerce. The plan rec-- ommended, according to Mr.\ Coste, "will be of great benefit to the coffee interests of this country and Bra-- gil." * state governments, will supply offi-- cial and reliable statistical informa-- tion upon coffee crops; to request permanent service in this country; to ask Brazil to revise her present policies to assure an ample flow of coffee to this country at a fair and creased coffee production in other countries and interest American cap-- ital in Cuba, Hawaii and Porto Rico in case coffee growing ~conditions should be found favorable there. sence, has been ordered immediate 1y back to Brazil as a result of the conference.

"Our eggs are too much in one basket. To assure ourselves of the necessary supply to meet the eonstantly growing demand at a fair and reasonable price, we should en-- courage coffee production in other countries." + Regarding the question that the Department of Commerce approach Brazil with a request for some re-- visions in the present policies, the brief states: ' c to Mr. Coste, Dr. Wil-- mtmu States Com-- mercial Attache to Brazil, who has been in this country on leave of ab-- "We are unwilling to go on record in any way ms favoring artificial reg-- vulation of supply but if regulation is deemed necessary by Sao Paulo it should be fexible enough to pre-- vent such wide price Auctuations as the present or extreme low of 1921.

Without doubt some further revision of the present pol-- tey can be made which would elim«-- Imate those wide fAuctuations.
