BRITISH PARLEY IS NEW THREAT TO lU, TRADE Imperial Preference Move Drives More Factories to Canada. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripp*-Howrd Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, July s.—Of vital Importance to the people of the United States, the British Imperial conference, opening at Ottawa on July 18, will be followed with no little anxiety by officials here. The big issue will be “imperial preference.’ If the various members of the empire agree to grant one another special trade favors, as against foreign trade, both American capital and labor will be dealt a severe blow. Both big political parties in Canada stand pledged to the policy of imperial preference, particularly the Conservatives of Premiere Bennett, now in office. And the Tory government of the mother country is prepared to levy a much higher duty on all foreign imports, especially those from the United States, than it does on dominion commodities. Systematicaly, it would appear, Canada, our best customer, Is serving abrogation notices on those countries with which she has most favored nation treaties. Instead, she is bargaining repicrocally for special consideration for her exports. American Factories Leave Already this policy seems to be bearing fruit. American industry, hard hit by retaliatory tariffs raised against American goods abroad, is rushing to Canada with branch factories from which to supply this trade. The empire conference, at the very least, is expected to increase this exodus of American factories, American capital, American business and American jobs. For Canada and the other members of the British commonwealth of nations are demanding the employment of Canadian or British labor. The British Empire covers onefourth the land surface of the globe. It boasts more than one-fourth the earth’s population, living in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, India, the Crown Colonies, dependencies, protectorates, and mandated territories. Benefit Is Seen Sponsors of the Ottawa meeting see in this expansive empire a grand opportunity for mutual, or intraempire trade, one of the few remaining fields for vast and profitable increases in commodity consumption. If Canada, for example, will buy her manufactured products as far as possible from England, and England will buy her raw materials from Canada, to the exclusion of the .United States and other foreign countries, it would be tremendously to their advantage. If all the dominions would play the game in this fashion, the British argue, the empire could tell the rest of the world to go hang. That is precisely what the Ottawa parley, in effect, hopes to bring about. If it hits the United States, that will be just too bad. The United States can console itself with the thought that it began the prohibitive tariff game and John Bull merely is repaying Uncle Sam in kind. So say the Britishers. Blow at U. S. Trade In recent years nearly one-half the total foreign trade of the United States has been with the British. About a fifth has been with Canada and another fifth with the United Kingdom. It follows as plain as a pikestaff that if the intra-empire trade agreement comes off, the United States •'ill suffer. Economists and foreign trade exerts long have predicted the high '.riff folly of the United States r entually would turn into a booming. Today what they forecast is at hand. Accordingly, they now predict Uncle Sam may be driven to abandon his super-tariff and adopt a policy of trade agreements with the British Empire, and other foreign governments, on a basis akin to reciprocity. Much, therefore, depends upon Ottawa.
More U. S. Firms to Canada TORONTO, July s.—Canada’s preferential trade treaties with other countries of the British Empire, as well as a fruitful domestic market, continued during the first six months of the year to attract United States industries to the dominion, according to the Toronto Industrial Commission’s semi-anual survey, made public today. In the six months, more than a score of American concerns have formed Canadian subsidiary companies in Toronto alone and established branch factories or arranged with existing industries for manufacture of their products.

“Every man has his affairs of the heart before he finds the woman of his ultimate choice!” So said Aimee Semple McPherson-Hutton, woman pastor of Angelus temple, refusing to be perturbed by the breach of promise testimony of a Pasadena nurse leveled at the evangelist’s baritone-husband, David. Here’s Aimee on her sickbed in a sanitarium at Palms, Cal., where she is recovering from a nervous breakdown, being visited by her husband in an interval in his court battle with Myrtle Joan St. Pierre.
By United Press LOS ANGELES, July s.—Portly David L. Hutton called upon the resources which have brought him the nickname of “Iron Man” today, as he suffered from a bumble bee’s attack —and faced the prospect of a severe cross-exami-nation in superior court. The usually jovial baritone singer glowered his defiance of attorneys for Miss Hazel St. Pierre, pretty nurse who is suing him for $200,000 heart balm. Dabbing unguents on the bee string, he said: “That attorney may have some things up his sleeve, but he’ll learn about women from me.” Hutton’s latest misfortune occurred at Arrowhead Hot Springs, where he spent the July Fourth holiday with his wife, Aimee Semple McPherson Hutton, the evangelist. He faced today an attack on his categorical denial of an affair with Miss St. Pierre, who charged he • promised to be her husband.

By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, July s.—Safety of foreign-flag rum-running ships ■from United States prohibition enforcers, as long as they stay outside the twelve-mile treaty limit, appears assured, as result of a justice department announcement. Attorney-General Mitchell announced the government would not appeal forfeiture proceedings which federal prosecutors brought against the Canadian vessel Cadet, seized off Nantucket and found to be laden with liquor. The federal court, Mitchell said, found that the Cadet had not been at any time within four leagues of the United States, and hence dismissed the libel. The dismissal, and the subsequent failure to appeal the case to higher courts, W'ill enable the Canadian owners to get liquor and vessel returned.

SLICE EXPENSES IN GOVERNMENT, ASSEMBLY TOLD j Tax Association Demands Legislature Cut Costs at Outset. Cutting government costs should be the primary objective of the special legislative session which convenes Thursday, according to members of the Marion County Association for Tax Reduction. Leslie Colvin, association president, today issued a program backed by the membership which calls for tax reduction before any consideration is given measures for raising revenues. The program embraces points agreed upon as economy measures by the senate and house co-opera-tive committees. Consider All Plans “We urge that no measures for raising revenue be taken up until all bills for economy have been considered,” Colvin said. “If the tax levying measures, over which there is sure to be much controversy, are taken up first, it is more than likely that the legislature will spend the entire forty days fighting over them, just as congress has done in the session now closing. The result will be no rei lief for the taxpayers this fall and the cost of the session will have been wasted. “Our program combines what we believe are the essential proposals for economy .legislation, on which 1 there is least divergence of opinion, and from which the maximum results in saving ’of the taxpayers’ money can be obtained.” Recommendations Made Recommendations of the association include: Repeal of the three-mile gravel road law and cancelling all petitions for new roads now pending under the law. A three-year moratorium on county highway bonds. Finance local road maintenance and interest payments by diverting to the local governmental units the state gasoline tax funds. Adoption of the county unit system in road maintenance. Repeal of all road laws, calling for a levy on property. Ten per cent reduction in all state school appropriations. Suspension of the special school building fund levy for two years. Suspension of the state teachers’ retirement fund levy, if it can be done without injury to the present actuarial system now in operation for teacher's pensions. Repeal of mandatory salary laws. Salary reductions for all public officials and employes. Suspension of special levies for the world war memorial, reforestation and the George Rogers Clark memorial. Passage of laws permitting counties and townships to merge. A flat 3 per cent cut on all delinquent tax collections. A state-wide governmental survey to plan mergers and economies. Monthly revision of budgets to offset anv revenue decline. Creation of a bi-partisan county council with four majority and three minority party members. Abolition of the office of the county highway superintendent and transfer of duties to the county surveyor, who must be registered and qualified. Other proposals for administration of poor relief and changes in the motor vehicle license fee system are under consideration, Colvin said. BABY LINDY’S FINDER BACK HOME, JOBLESS Left Circus; Says Boss Told Him Lone Eagle Objected. By United Press TRENTON, N. J., July s—William J. Allen, the Negro who found the body of Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr., was back home today without a job after a brief tour with a circus as a sideshow ezhibit. “I left the circus,” he explained, “somewhere in Massachusetts, but I can’t just remember the town. The boss told me Colonel Lindbergh didn’t want me apeparin’ in no circuses, and I didn’t want to make no trouble, so I come home.” Allen said he appeared with the circus three weeks, but was paid his salary of S3OO for only one week. He pondered the uncertain fleeting quality of “fame,” and wondered if he would get a state job to support his wife and two children.
