NEW CANADIAN TARIFF RATES WORRYING U. S. Dominion Boosts Bother Washington Chiefs: Expect Report. BY THOMAS L. STOKES. United Pre* Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 3.—The broad tariff revision by Canada, neighbor and best customer of the United States, has dramatized the tariff controversy more than any other development since-passage of the Hawley-Smoot act a year ago. Many other countries have raised their tariff walls since the HawleySmoot act became effective, but this revision right at the door, and at a time when foreign trade is at its lowest level in years, has brought the issue home with new force. Three Results Visualized Three probable results were visualized today from the revision, which affects the American farmer and manufacturer at so many points. These were: 1. Anew emphasis on the tariff in politics, with foes of the Haw-ley-Smoot act already pouncing, in a flood of statements, on Canada’s act as a direct retaliation for our high rates, and with supporters pointing to it as indication of the value of a high protective tariff. 2. Establishment of additional American branch factories in Canada, which Premier Bennett openly courted as means of aiding employment there. 3. Renewed agitation for some reciprocal tariff agreement with Canada whereby rates would be reduced, overtures for which have been made by Canada from time to time since she rejected President Taft’s move for reciprocity tw r enty years ago. Officials continued their silence today regarding the new dominion tariff, but no one denied that it will have a sizable '• .feet on United States trade with Canada, which last year totaled more than a billion dollars. Hoover Report Expected Just what this effect would be in dollars and cents no one would predict, but it is expected the commerce department will make a private estimate for President Herbert Hoover, on the basis of a detailed analysis received from trade representatives at Ottawa. Keen interest of the United States government in the new Canadian tariff was demonstrated by an official statement isued by the commerce department explaining the tariff and giving the old rates and the new on American products. One of the most interesting aspects of the new tariff is the impetus it is believed it will give to the establishment of branch factories in the Dominion to circumvent the new rates, almost prohibitory in some cases, on various American products.

King George

English Monarch’s Health Restored; Knighthood Honors Granted. By United Press LONDON, June 3.—King George V celebrated his 6Sth birthday today, recovered in health and vigorous enough to resume horseback riding. He planned a more strenuous birthday than usual, including a visit to Epsom Downs to witness the annual running of the English Derby. A family party at Buckingham palace was arranged for tonight. A surprise was caused by the king’s birthday honor list, which failed to create new Labor Party peers to bolster Premier Ramsay MacDonald’s government in the house of lords. The list created no new peers and only four new baronets and twenty-five knights. New Baronets Named The new baronets included Philip Devitt, chairman of Devitt & Moore, ship operators and founders of the nautical school at Pangbourne; Sir Edward Elgar, master of the king’s Musick since 1924; Sir Herbert Gibson, for his services in connection with the British Empire trade exhibition in Buenos Aires, and Sir Thomas Jaffrey, chairman of the Aberdeen Art gallery committee. The earl of Athlone, former gov-ernor-general of South Africa, and Sir William Jowitt, attorney-general, were appointed privy councillors. Former Laborer Knighted Knighthoods were conferred chiefly for educational, judicial and charitable accomplishments. Ben Turner, only member of parliament knighted, started as a laborer and has been active for many years as a leader of miners and textile workers. Women received minor honors, chiefly for hospital work. Miss Sybil Thorndike, the actress, was made a dame commander of the order of the British Eempire for her services to dramatic art.

ANNIVERSARIES CELEBRATED BY PRESBYTERIANS U. S. Assembly to End 6-Day Sessions in Observance of Foundings. By United Press PITTSBURGH, Jupe 3.—A double anniversary—the centennial of the Western Foreign Missionary Society and the sesquicentennial of the first presbyter}’ west of the Allegheny mountains —was celebrated today as the one hundred fortythird general assembly of the Presbyterian church in the United States brought its six-day session to a close. Selection of the 1932 meteing place, with three western cities— Denver, Seattle and Los Angeles—seeking the honor, will be among the final business of the assembly before adjournment late today.

From it was established the first foreign mission work of the church by the old synod of Pittsburgh. •Throughout the sessions of the assembly, despite the threat of heated discussion on modern social and industrial problems, such as birth control, divorce and unemployment, there has been almost unbroken harmony. Women, recognized as official commissioners for the first time this year, were given further recognition by a move to elect a woman ruling elder to the general council of the church.
