GIANT ‘CANADA' SOUP CO. PLANT SNEERAT U. S, Campbell’s Million-Doilar Move Direct Smash at Tariff Policy. ThU It the fifth of a serif* of articles on how the Hawley. Smooth tariff bill it drlvinr American Industries into Canada. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor TORONTO, June 12—Dr. Julius Klein, assistant secretary of commerce, denies that foreign countries are excluding American goods by drastic tariff barriers. That the good doctor must have had his tongue in his cheek and was talking as a politician rather than a specialist in the export business, seems evident. Take the case of Canada and Campbell’s soup. For years Campbell's soup has been doing an increasingly good business on this side of the border. There is some Canadian competition, but I am told by Canadians not connected with the industry, Campbell outsold all the other brands combined. This it was able to do despite a tariff of 25 per cent. The profit on each can was not large, but in large lots the business amounted to millions. Canadians Got Sore Then something happened. Congress, down at Washington, passed the Hawley-Smoot act, hitting Canadian products, from sea foods in the eastern maritime provinces to shingles in British Columbia. The Canadians got sore. They hit back. As soon as they could do so, they elected a rip-snorting Tory premier who promised never to let the Yankees annex Canada commercially or otherwise, and the first thing he did was to boost the tariff on American products. Among other items the tariff on soup was raised from 25 per cent to 35. To Campbell’s Shis made a big difference—the difference between profit and loss, so far, at least, as its Canadian business was concerned. Campbell’s Did It There was but one thing to do and Campbell’s soup did it. it made plans for a branch factory in Canada. That plant now Is going up here, a million-dollar concern which, when completed, will give employment to several hundred Canadians at good American wages. Indirectly, it will give employment to several hundred others. Cans for the soup will have to be made. So will labels, cartons, packing cases and other things Incidental to the soup business. Tomatoes, okra, beans and the rest of the vegetables that enter into the making of soup will have to be grown, and Canadian farms will grow them. Transportation of the raw materials to the factory and transportation to consumers, from coast to coast will be necessary and Cana-dian-built and Canadian-driven trucks and Canadian-manned railroads will do the hauling. Goes Into Canada’s Products All the money earned by all these .workers will be spent for Canadianmade automobiles, radios, clothes, groceries and what not, the production of which is'translatable in terms of jobs for still more Canadian workers. Thus while retaliatory tariffs are hurting American industries by driving them abroad, they are hurting American wage earners even more. Multiply the story of Campbell’s fcoup by several hundred and it berimes plain that Dr. Klein erred a trifle when he said American goods are not being shut out by drastic tariff barriers. Canada has seventy industries Whose export trade alone is in excess of $500,000 a year. Os these, thirty-eight have an export trade in excess of $5,000,000 each. In her thirty ranking export industries are automobiles, automobile tires, rubber footwear and machinery—all four dependent upon branch factories which emigrated from the United States. The automobile Industry is sixth among Canada’s exporters. A total of 103,000 motor cars, valyed at! $43,000,000, were shipped abroad in 1929. Canada does a rubber manufacturing business in excess of $90,000,000 a year, six American concerns having the bulk of this trade, export as well as local. Almost all this business is here to avoid tariffs and the prejudices growing out of our tariff policy. More than 2,000 branches of American business have been set up in Canada, Europe, Latin America and Australasia, largely for the same reason. Foreign retaliation and prejudice against goods “made in America’’ are cutting into our foreign trade, and the answer is to establish branch plants abroad. But the migration of American industry isn’t helping the American masses. The automobiles, tires, radio sets, telephones, dynamos, aluminum pots, machinery, steel, ships and sails and sealing wax i made by American concerns on for- | eign soil are mighty small comfort 1 to the 6,000,000 unemployed beating the pavements back home looking 1 for jobs.

Thrilling Battle Will Be Described; ‘Baby’ Is Without Name. How sixty-eight tons of fury, a maddened whale, lashed the ocean swells with her giant tail for six hours while stout-hearted seamen fought frantically to bag one of the largest mammals, is a story Captain Jonathan Prince, whaler, has to tell. Captain Prince, veteran of many a whaling cruise, is “on deck” today a watchful guardian over this ponderous captive while being exhibited in Indianapolis on its coast-to-coast tour. Perhaps some boy or girl in Indianapolis can suggest a name for the baby whale being exhibited with its mother. The 136,000-pound “mama” whale and her baby are preserved in their natural state in a specially constructed railroad car, totally glass inclosed, on Virginia avenue, near South street. It was this “mama” whale, which, off the coast of Southern California, figured in one of the most thrilling battles in whaling history. For six hours she churned the waters with two large harpoons hooked in her side, as a ship rolled near by waiting for her to tire. Hugh steel cables held “her” fast. “Her” fight to free herself of these harpoons was a losing fight and she finally was towed to shore. Captain Prince promises to tell

WORLD AWAITS U. S. DECISION ON WARDEBTS Every American’s Pocketbook Is Affected Seriously by Problem. BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE Tnited Pree* Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 12. The pocketbook of every American is affected by the reparations question, which rose in Europe this week with full vigor from the grave in which it was supposed to have been laid at The Hague early last year. There has been a lot of talk about payments in kind, conditional annuities, transfers, guarantees, mobilization and other phrases which make the average American yawn and turn to the sports page. Omitting the technical details,, however, the question resolves itself ' to this: Germany has been hit as hard as most other nations by the world economic depression; in addition, she has the heavy burden of reparations to pay. Germany says she can’t continue to pay the sums

agreed upon. Therefore, she wants her burden lightened. A bankrupt Germany would have a disastrous effect on general world economic conditions and it would be felt in the United States. In addition, the money which we lent our allies in the war is being repaid out of Germany’s payments to the allies. Washington always has insisted

that Germany’s reparations and the allied war debts to the United States can not be considered as interdependent—that is, the allied debts must be paid whether Germany pays up or not. It is believed that 90,000,000 years have been required for the sea to attain its present saltiness.
