U. S. MONEY IS MAKING CANADA WORLD POWER Tariff Near-Sightedness Is Choking American Jobs to Death. Thi* Is tbs third of s series of articles dsseribtar how the Hawler-Smoot tariff bill is drlrinr United . States industries into CanadaBY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreirn Editor TORONTO, June 10.—Backed by the Aluminum Company of America, a Mellon interest, the largest aluminum plant in the world, employing a city full of people, now is going up in the wilderness about Arvida, Quebec. This fact offers additional proof that the present tariff policy at Washington eventually will destroy the bulk of America’s foreign trade and doom to chronic idleness a million or more American workers. If foreign retaliation against the tariff prevents sale of American goods abroad, the hands making those goods must, of course, be laid off. And, in order not to lose their export trade manufacturers, Just as obviously, must set up branch factories abroad.
Built With U. S. Money So anew town, named Arvida, built with American money, is going up on the banks of the Saguenay river, in the heart of the forest country near Lake St. John.. Here, near the great highway of the St. Lawrence, on tidewater, is being born the new aluminum capital of the world. That the builders of Arvida have world trade in view is clear. The same interests already have a large plant at. Shawinigan Falls, half way between Montreal and Quebec, more than ample to take care of the Canadian trade. In fact, Canada now is exporting millions of pounds oif alumnium annually. It is estimated that during the average year of 1926, the total world production of aluminum amounted to 460,000,000 pounds. The Arvida plant alone, when completed, will have a capacity of close on to 400,000,000, or about fourfifths the entire world production in 1926. U. 8. Has Same Chances The bauxite ore consumed by the Arvida concern will have to be hauled all the way from British Guiana, South America, 3,500 miles past the entire Atlantic seaboard of tthe United States and around Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Nearness to the source of raw material, therefore, has nothing to do with the location of the works at Arvida. North Carolina is only about half as far from British Guiana. A vast quantity of cheap hydroelectric power is needed to break down the aluminum ore, and Quebec has plenty of that. But so has the eastern part of the United States, much nearer the ore. It’s Another Factor A great deal of manpower of husky breed is essential to carry on the strenuous, hot job of smelting. Quebec has such labor. At the same time, however, there probably are a million men now unemployed in the United States capable and, willing to tackle the job. Wages can not have much to do with locating the aluminum capital in Canada, for Canadian wages are approximately the same as American.
Some other factor, therefore, must j have entered into the decision of the business men who fixed on Arvida, and apparently it was the fact that Canada has become a better base for export trade than the United States. Seeking Bases Abroad Canada has preferential tariffs with the other members of the British empire, and about 50 per cent of our foreign trade is with the empire. Canada also has special trade relations with most .of the other principal powers of the world, whereas the tendency now is for these countries to throw every possible obstacle in the path of goods “ihade in the United States.” Handicapped at home. American Industries thus are seeking new basces abroad. However much they might prefer to confine their manufacturing operations to the United States, they have no alternative, if they wish to hold on to their trade, than to migrate to foreign soil. U. S. Steel in Canada United States Steel, called the backbone of American industry, has found' it advisable to take this step. Like aluminum people, it is building a vast mill in panada. On a 2,000-acre tract ad Ojibway, near Windsor. Ontario, the far-sighted steel baron, James A. Farrell, is putting up a $60,000,000 plant. Between June last year—when the Hawley-Smoot tariff became law—and the first of this year, sixty-five important branch factories were be- ' gun over here by American concerns. The alternative was to quit the export business and fire the workers engaged in it.

CLAD in the light, gay raiment of summer, a wide panama on his head, a bright smile on his face and a tune, probably “Oh, Promise Me," in his heart, Senator Jim Watson visited Indianapolis Tuesday and held a levee. "Jim's in town,” went out the word, "and in a few minutes the anteroom of his suite at the Severin was crowded with public jobholders, determined to retain their posts and others still more determined to get them. While Paul Meredith, sometimes known as the “Duke of Sugar Creek," did the honors as master of ceremonies, the supplicants, one by one, were ushered into the "presence." “Bumming” a cigarette, the senior senator from this sovereign state declared that he would remain in Indiana until August. a a a FOLLOWING a few pleasantries, the little* conference almost broke up when the following question was propounded: "Is it true, as is claimed, Senator, that you have given your tacit consent to the activities of some of your supporters in advancing the candidacy of Fred Landis of Logansport for the Republican nomination for Governor?” "Most certainly not," came the denial, coupled with a snort of anger that nearly brought down the walls and a shake of the leonine mane (now sadly thinning) which has been one of Watson’s distinguishing features. Quickly licking his lip, as his wont when making a statesmanly utterance, the senior senator added: “I am not supporting any candidate for the nomination for Governor. Why, it would be silly for me to do that and it is a year until the next convention.” a a a “TS it true, senator, you are conX sidering not becoming a candidate for the renomination in 1932, and that you will lay off until 1934 and then run against Arthur Robinson for the nomination?” Slapping the interviewer companionably on the knee, Indiana’s sterling statesman answered: "That is false. I will be a candidate in 1932, my health and my party permitting.” "Well, the dope is that you feel that 1932 won’t be a good year to run, senator.” "If my party calls upon me to run, I shall.” Watson halted a moment and then added, impressively: "My party has been good to me and I am not the type of man to quit on it when the going is rough. I have been beaten before, (harking back to 1908 when he was defeated for Governor by Thomas Marshall). “But we will not be defeated, because business will pick up and things will become better,” declared the senator in a prophetic tone. Watson said he v T ould be here to attend the Hoover banquet next Monday night. The interview was over as the “Duke” ushered in a prospective postmaster.
PAY LINGLE REWARD Tribune Gives $25,000 Check to Hagan for Brothers’ Arrest. By United Press CHICAGO, June 10.—On the first anniversary of the murder of Alfred J.

Brothers as Lingle’s slayer. Hagan served as undercover operator for Pat Roche, chief investigator, for two and a half months during the search for the slayer. Issue Edict to Boys By Times Special % KOKOMO, Ind., June 10.—Kokomo boys who insist on using song birds as their targets for their air rifles and flippers may feel the strong arm of the “law” if they don’t reform.

SCHNEIDER CUP PLANES TO BE MUCHLARGER New Speed Mark in Race Is Looked Upon as Difficult Task. / By United Press LONDON, June 10.—Predictions that this year’s Schneider trophy race for seaplanes will be won at speeds exceeding 400 miles an hour are believed by air experts to be wide of the mark and that it is more likely that the winner’s speed for the 215-mile race will be but little above the 328.63 miles an hour, at which the late flying officer, H. R. D. Waghom won in 1929. This probability of only a slight increase in speed is due to the fact, and also, paradoxically, because of the fact, that this year’s engines will be of considerably higher power than those used in the last race, experts said. With engines consuming fuel at the rate of nearly two gallons a minute, the problem of fuel weight becomes an important matter. In this year’s race, in addition to the greater fuel requirements of the more powerful engines, the rules require that the taking-off tests and navigability tests must be included in the same flight as the race, and without any refueling between tests and the race. It is self-evident, therefore, that the fuel problem has imposed on the designers an extraordinarily difficult task. In the subsequent attacks on the world’s speed record over the three-kilometer course, it is probable, however, that the record of 357.7 miles an hour, held by Squadron Leader A. H. Orlebar, will be beaten by a wide margin and it is believed probable the record even may be set above 400 miles an hour. This great difference in the estimate of the average speed of the Schneider course, and for the three-kilometer record is accounted for largely by the comparatively light weight of the fuel to be carried.
ART PUT ON BLOCK Soviets to Sacrifice Rare Holdings, Is Report. By United Press PARIS, June 10.—Purported plans of the Soviet government to sell important parts of Russia’s rich art heritage were revealed in Paris today by Alexander Kerensky, first executive of the Russian Government after the 1917 revolution, and bitter enemy of Soviet leaders, who ousted him. Kerensky has learned that his country’s art treasures are on the market to provide cash for the great industrial effort of the soviets. In addition to this, Kerensky says the Russian government plans to sell a number of virtually priceless books from the library of the late Czar Nicholas. When automobiles travel at speeds in excess of forty miles an hour, more power is required to overcome air resistance than road resistance.
