power as yet But the establishment Of
new industries throughout the empire"
is already having a noticeable effect on
increased earning capacity and conse-
quent market prospects.
Naturally the French have applied
colonial preferential tariffs through most
of their realm, and the results in some
cases have been practically prohibitive
to American trade. However, there are
still ample opportunities for our ex-
porters, particularly in those lines in
which french industry has not as yet
made much advance. In this connec-
ton, incidentally, it is we'll to know
that Morocco-in many respects one of
the most promising colonial markets
in Africa-has no preferential duties
against American products. Several

Buying Power Exploited.
Evidently the determining factor in
the growth of our exports has not been
any inroads upon British trade. but
rather the exploitation Of the new buy
ing power of the colonies.
In the first place, 1t is well to re-
member that the United States. as in
dicated above, is a major market Tor
many Of the products of the colonies
and dominions The latter in several
important cases are countries with but
one or two crops or commodities, and
consequently any hindrance to the trade
OF their major specialties would be dis
astrous. Every bond with the United
States inevitably leads to the encour-
agement of two-way trafiic. although, Of
course. the normal operations Of world
commerce are usually upon triangular
or polyangular lines.
Furthermore-and this Is really the
vital isSue-there is q fundamental eco
nonic warrant for this rapidly increaS-
ing export of American goods to the
colonies The latter are now in many
cases passing through the same stages
of pioneering exploitation which char
acterized the westward movement OF our
own people across the continent few
decades ago. Out of that great episode
our manufacturers have accumulated a
host of experiences and evolved va
riety of products ideally adapted TO con-
tend with the same types Of natural
obstacles and geographic difnculties now
confronting the awakening domintons
and colonies. The very fact that this
enormous expansion of our exports to
the overseas European possessions has
been developed during the recent years
of strict application of preferential tar
IFS in favor of the products of the home
lands would seem to indicate that i'm.
ports of American tractors. agricultural
equipment, mining machinery, road
building apparatus and irrigation sup
plies constitute a normal, healthy trade
which satisfies, as no European counter
part can, the awakening needs Of the
colonies.
Aviation is going to play an important

Labor Rights and Loyalty
to State Involved.

Economics, unemployment, the
right of collective bargaining, sane
tity of the home, Hoosier loyalty
and even a bit of politics may enter
into the awarding of the 100000
barrel cement contract for 1880 by
the state highway commission, it
was indicated today.
"It's a big problem" Director
John j. Brown admitted, but re-
fused to disclose plans made for
solution.
Plans include awarding of the
contracts to Indiana cement manu-
facturers, despite the fact that,
when bids were opened last Tues
day, the Marquette Cement Com
pany of Illinois was from 5 to 10
cents a barrel lower on 100000 bar
rels for delivery to thirty-tWo
points in the state.
Now that the bids are in, the Hoo
Sier manufacturers are to meet the
low price," it was reported. Five of
the fifteen firms bidding were from
Indiana and it is intimated that the
100000 barrels will be split among
the Hoosiers.
Brown asserts this can be done
without a lawsuit, but didn't dis
close how the low bidder was to be
satisfied with the awarding Of con-
tracts to high bidders.
MANY things enter into this mat
ter" he said. "We have to study it
from all angles"

A caravan of private automobiles,
special busses and a special IllinaI~
Cenaral train carried several thou
sand Indianapolis football enthuSi-
asts to the Indiana-Purdue game at
Bloomington today.
State highways leading to Bloom
ington were lined with heavy traffic
during the morning. The Illinois
Central, leaving at 1905 p. M, car
ried three parlor cars and three ac-
commodation coaches. Special buSses
were loaded as fast as a bus load ar
rived at the station.
Governor Harry G. Leslie, with a
party of friends, including presi-
dents of both universities, and
George Ade, humorist, will have the
box of honor at the game.
The Governor, despite a severe
cold, went to Bloomington Friday
in readiness to cheer his alma ma
ter, Purdue, to it's Big Ten cham
pionship with an unblemished rec
ord.
Other guests in the Leslie box at
the game will include: Henry Mar
shall, president emeritus of Purdue;
L. A. Downs, president of the Illinois
Central railroad; Harry Kurrie,
president of the Nonon railroad;

Pennsylvania railroad; E. F. Branch,

ident of the Indiana university

OPTIMISM RAIL
SESSION ECHO
Officials Cheered by Huge
Improvement Budgets.

BU United Press
CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-Locomotive
whistles footed a fanfare of pros
perity today as railroad presidents
sped homeward over the clicking
rails from the annual meeting of
the Association of Railway Execu-
tives at the Blackstone hotel here
Friday.
Full speed ahead, with the
prospect of 81 100000 or more as
the aggregate budget for improve
mentS in 1880, had been pledged by
the nations foremost railroad
executives in answer to suggestion
made to them early this week by
President Coolidge in a White House
conference.
Assurance that the railroads OF
the country are in excellent con-
dition was contained In a study by
the bureau of railway economics
made public at the meeting.
An aggregate of $80O,00O,000 viii
have been spent by the end of this
year for new equipment, additions
and improvements, an increase o.
approximately $123, 100000 over 1928
and about $28, 100000 over 1927 ex-
penditures, the report stated.
Capital expenditures of $573,-
$4,000 for the first nine months OF
1929 were reported, as compared
with $500, 167 900 in 1928. That in
crease. $73, 900, is nearly Is pei
cent, the more than 200 rail execu-
tiYeS were told.

NEW YORK. Nov. 23.-The trial
Of George NIcManus, accused of the
murder of Arnold Rothstein, took
weekend recess today while fire.
arms experts prepared for testi-
mony to be introduced during the
coming week.
Albert H. Hamilton, expert on
guns, who has testified in many i'm
portant cases, and other experts
from the police department, exam
ined a pistol now in possession of
the prosecution, which probably will
be introduced in evidence as the
pistol with which Rothstein was
shot. The bullet taken from Roth
STEMS body had a peculiar groove
in it. The experts will give evidence
as to whether bullet fired from
the gun the state plans to introduce
would carry such a mark.
Making Tests
Police experts already have de-
cided that it would. Hamilton is
an expert for the defense and he is
making tests over the weekend on
which TO base his testimony.
The recess also is giving a juror
who complained of having been Ill
chance to recuperate. If he is not
recovered by Monday, the case may
be delayed or it may be necessary
to dismiss him, fill his place and
begin the evidence all over again.
The name of the sick juror has not
been revealed,
When court adjourned Friday
night the state had laid only a
foundation for its case. 1t had in
evidence a detailed description of
card game in which Rothstein
gave out I. o. US. for more than
100000 after twenty-five hours at
the table. Alvin G. (Titanic)
Thomas, Mayer and Sam Boston,
James Meehan and Martin Bowe, a
picturesque group of sporting men,
had told how as much as $4,000
had been bet on the turn Of a
single card.
Lose With Smile
One and all had told how George
McManus was an honest gambler;
so honest that they didn't even de-
mand an I. o. U. when he owed
them money; and how he could lose
as much as 100000 and still smile.
Next week the state expects to
build upon this foundation, detail
by detail, a story of how Rothstein
was killed for alleged "welshing' on
the 100000 worth Of I. o. US he
had given.
McManus left court at the end of
of the first week OF his trial, laugh
ing and in high spirits.
