U. S. BEAT BRITISH
FILMING QUEEN MARY
(By United Press)

London, May 1.-THE life story of
MARY, Queen of Scots" is being film
ed here by an American firm.
This has given rise to much talk
because a little while ago it was an
nounced that British firm would
produce the film version of this sub.
ject. However, the American firm
is now advertising for gill who
bears a facial resemblance 20 the
Queen to play the name part
In order to straignten out the mat
ter in the minds of the public, Walter
West, who originally intended to pro-
duce such a film, wrote to the London
DAILY Mail":
"Those whose business it is to find
the money necessary for the produc-
ton of British films were convinced
that no one wanted to see British
history on the screen and that cos
tune plays were a failure. l spent
three years trying to bring them
round to my way thinking with
the result that an American firm
launched forth on the film and it is
now nearing completion"

from snipers in the West Virginia and
Kentucky hills on opposite sides of

WINNING CHINA TRADE
; = =. ~ ~ ~
U. S. Trade &, Commissioner Says
u. S. Is Winning in Struggle
for Trade in China
By Russell Browning,
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, May 14.-Americans
are winning in the three-cornered
struggle between the United States,
Japan and Great Britain for the great
trade marts Of China, J: W. Sanger,
United States trade commissioner,
returned from the Orient, declared to-
day in an interview with the United
Press.
Sanger visited the Philippines, Jap
an and Continental Asia for the pur-
pose of reporting to the department
of commerce on the condition of
American trade in the Far East. A
special feature of his mission was to
determine whether American CON-
mercial supremacy in the Orient
could be fastened through Asia-wide
advertisements of our wares.
"China and Japan are comparable
only by contrast" said Sanger. Gap
an has a good railroad system, bank
ing organization, and powerful
newspaper press. The transition from
agricultural to an industrial nation is
complete. Japanese manufactured
goods compete with our products in
her home market and in China. Still
American goods are being sold in
Japan and the market can be in
creased.
Japanese manufacturers spend
millions in advertisements in the 800
native newspapers. The circulation
of some Of these papers is tremendous
and in all respects the leading dailies
are crack, up-to-date journals, near
ly 80 per cent of the Japanese people
can and do read the newspapers.
"As yet, Americans have not ex-
tensively used newspaper ADVERTISE
ments to create demand for their
goods. While perhaps not as respon-
sive to advertisement as buyers in the
United States, the Japanese are large
ly influenced by properly designed ad-
vertisement. British trading firms in
Japan are more conservative than the
native merchants in grasping this aid
to business and will consequently suf-
fer from American adoption of adj
certisement selling campaigns.
"The situation in China is differ
ent. American business is growing
there by leaps and bounds. The prin-
cipal hindrance is lack of transport.
Still, in my opinion, we are, besting
our British rivals. Considering that
we buy much less of China's great
raw products than Japan, we are hold
ing our own against that country in
the sale of manufactured goods"
