GRIM WAR FOR TRADE CONTROL FACING WORLD Britain Regarded Sure to Erect High Tariff Wail as Retaliation. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scrlpp*-lloward Foreign Editor WASHINGTON. Nov. 3.—A knockdown, dragout fight lor world trade, accompanied by an equally grim tariff war. today seemed imminent as the victorious, commercehungry tories of Britain girded themselves for the fray. Their first major move in the battle likely will be to pick up the provocative high tariff gauntlet thrown down by Uncle Sam and retaliate with high, if not prohibitive, duties on all imports, including foodstuffs and raw materials. The second big move, it is predicted, will be the calling of a British economic conference for the purpose of raising a tariff wall around the whole empire within which would operate a system tending to bar American and other foreign commodities while encouraging empire production. One-Fourth of Globe The British empire boasts almost one-fourth the land surface of the globe and nearly a fourth of its total population. It ranges clear around the planet and from the Arctic to the Antarctic. Within it can be found every conceivable thing of use to man. Today, Great Britain, the parent country, faces the greatest crisis of her existence. As her present masters see it, her one hope of emerging from her present plight, with at least some semblance of her ancient greatness, lies in binding that empire together again, not politically, but by the ties of economics and commerce. Canadian wheat, for example, as far as possible eventually should shut out wheat from America, Argentina and Russia, they believe. In return, Canada would give preference to certain British products instead of buying them, say, from the United States. Duty on Cotton Similarly, by imposing a duty on j cotton, it is held, cotton-raising; would be promoted in Egypt and i India so that less and less of the | staple would have to be imported! from this country. And so on. Normally, approximately twofifths of our total foreign trade is with the Empire of Great Britain. The United States alone has been taking nearly a billion dollars’ worth of our products annually, while Canada has been buying about as much. Now, the empire is planning to give high tariff countries a taste of their own medicine by shutting them out. The last obstacle In the way ot an empire tariff wall appears to have been removed by Tuesday’s landslide. The one big issue at last year’s imperial coneferencc at London was the economic hook-up between the various members of the British commonwealth. Proposed by Premier Premier Bennett of Canada proposed a tariff barrier against outsiders with trade preference for those within. Spokesmen from other dominions readily fell in line. Ireland, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa all approved, but England upset the plan. Economists in this coiuitry and abroad insist, almost as a unit, that tariff walls must be lowered to stimulate trade and lift the world depression. Yet the reverse seems to be taking place. On top of the race for armaments, a race for economic advantage seems to be on, with governments maneuvering tariffs as once they maneuvered armies, in dangerous ententes and alliances.

Al or Alva? By Unit'd Press CHICAGO. 111. Nov.. 3 —The conviction of Al Capone was worthy of more prominent headline display than the death of Thomas Alva Edison, the Chicago Tribune said editorially today. Capone was convicted the evening of Oct. 17. Edison died early the next morning. Both news events occurred prior to the Tribune’s final edition. The Hribune used an eightcolumn streamer headline for the Capone case. Edison's death was announced in a fivecolumn. smaller type headline. This choice was criticised by some readers. The editorial pointed out that Edison's death had been anticipated “for more than a few days,” but that “no one knew and millions wondered whether Capone was to be immune from punishment by the government.”

FEAR HOSTILE GREETING Foreign Minister Dino Grandi May Avoid New York Welcome. By Uniltd Press WASHINGTON. Nov. 3.—Foreign Minister Dino Grandi of Italy may arrive in New York this month without the display of ticker tape and the parade through Broadway with which distinguished foreigners usually are welcomed. The state department is anxious

to avoid any opportunity for antiFascist public demonstrations against the Italian statesman. Therefore, Grandi may be brought to Washington quietly, foregoing the gala reception in New York.

Hewitt, state unemployment director, by AttorneyGeneral James M. Ogden.
