 Trade Revival For Coming Year
VARIETY OF OPINIONS FIX PRESSED BY BRITISH BUSI. NESS MEN; OPTIMISTIC

LONDON, Dec. 22-Leaders of trade and industry in England dis cern a trend toward improvement in economic conditions throughout the world, according to a survey here. Although the men are not unanimous in opinion, especially on Britain's future, the tendency to look for better times is predomi- nant. Sir James Lethgow, chair man of the Federation of British Industries, holds that a revival of world trade is likely in 1881, mean ing the total volume of trade will increase.
 Trade revival in the sense of a return to healthy conditions in Brit ish industry Is not likely to be seen until the British trade policy is rad inlly altered" he said. Sir George Hunter, shipbuilder, said the world wide depression will pass in 1881, but doubts Britain's conditions will improve. Sir Walter Runeiman, contends Britain's recov- cry depends on amendment or re- peal of the dole act and the lifting of unsound taxes on business. Lord Inchcape says the solution of Brit ish economic troubles is up to the trades unions. A. A. Purcell, La borite, predicted better times for the Lancashie textile industry. w. Sherwood. engineer, said the out look is brighten for shipping.

Congress Quits After Action On Appropriations
AVOID EXTRA SESSION BY FAST ACTION; SENATOR NOR RIS IN DIFFICULTIES WITH REGULAR PARTY

WASHINGTON, D. O.. Dec. 22- With President Hoover victorious on nearly every item of his program of relief elegislation for unemployed, and drought stricken farmers, con gress adjourned for the Christmas holidays. In the final hours of de- bate the Senate confirmed federal power commissioners and passed a $15O,00O,0O0 appropriation bill for Farm Board aid. By their excep- tionally swift action on bills carry ing more than 11,630, 900, ,000 ap- propriations, congress has avoided an extra session, Senator Joseph Robinson, Democratic leader, and Senator James Watson, Republican whip, declared.
 Final hours of discussion produc- ed sharp clash when insurgent Republicans became incensed over the election of Senator Norris by Robert Lucas, Republican campaign director. Insurgent leaders, thor oughly aroused over the develop ment, considered fighting the ad- ministration through the remainder of the session. Further fuel was added to the flames of this dispute when MT. Lucas with the tacit ap- proval of the White House, issued a formal statement justifying his at titude and virtually reading MT. Norris out of the Republican party by declaring Until leaders of the Republican party not only fail to support but give their active oppo- sition to men like Senator Norris, they are not doing their full duty to the party"
 Mir. Lucas charged Senator Nor ris with distorting the facts con corning the support Lucas gave the anti-Norris Republican faction in Nebraska, and accused him of re- lentlessly opposing Presidents Cool idge and Hoover.

Consider Bill For Elimination Of Floating CannerieS
CONGRESS MAY SHACKLE FLOATING PLANTS = DELE GATE ASSAILS O'MALLEY

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 19- In a hearing before the House Com mittee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries. on a bill to limit opera tions of floating cannenies in Alaska waters, Delegate Sutherland renew ed his long-stanidng fight on the personnel of the Bureau of Fisher ies, charging them with protecting monopolies of fishing rights through favoriteism in administration of regulations. He opposed any exten- sion of the authority of the com missioner of fisheries.
 Delegate Sutherland asserted the trouble was not with the law but with the manner in which it was administered by Henry o'Malley.
 MT. O'Malley, who preceded the delegate before the committee, tes- tified the bureau needed the bill under consideration to enable it to efficiently protect the salmon runs in Alaska by making it possible to know in advance of the season how extensive the fishing would be.
 The measure was introduced by Representative Welch, Republican, of California. It would require dan- nery operators to serve notice in advance of their operating program. It would prohibit, also, the opera tion of any individual cannery at more than one location in any sin gle season, thus striking directly at floating canneries which move from one area to another as the runs occur.
 Capt. ". J. Peterson, represent ing the Ship Owners Association of the Pacific Coast, sponsored the bill, declaring it was for protection against fishermen bootleggers" re- ferring, he said, only to floating plants.
 Peter Olsen, president of the AL aska Fishermen's Union of San Francisco, also supported the meas ure. He declared the floating can neries "go. up there and take as much as they want, reducing the supply of fish and disorganizing the regulations.
 Representative Welch, author of the bill, declared the floating cam nerymen "come from nowhere and go anywhere they please"

Juneau Protests Transfer Of
 Indian Schools
SEND TELEGRAMs TO DAN SUTHERLAND AND WILBUR: WRANGELL TAKES NO ACTION AT COMMERCIAL CLUB

Declaring that the transfer of AL aska schools from the Office of Edu- cation to the Bureau of Indian Af- fairs is inconsistent with the Hoov- CT administration policy of cen- tralizing in Alaska federal authority over local affairs. the Juneau Cham Der of Commerce voiced a protest against such change, and urged. if anything Is done to alter the pres ent status, that they be put under the governors office, says the Ju- neau Empire.
 This, it is asserted. would be an- other step in localizing federal au- thority and bridging the gap be- tween Washington and Alaska.
 Transfer July Next
 The chamber early this week tele- graphed Delegate Sutherland asking what, if anything, could be done to stop the proposed change which fig provided for by the provisions of the annual supply bill of the De- partment of the Interior. A reply from him failed to give the infor- nation desired. He replied as fol- lows:
 Department of Interior cannot transfer Alaska education of natives to Indian Affairs Bureau before fis- cal year beginning July 1. Could get no definite statement regarding policy when change Is made, if 1t is made. but opinion expressed there probably would be no change in personnel and methods of admins tration in Alaska"
 The executive committee also wir- ed Secretary Wilbur earlier this week, presenting its own views on the matter.
 Discussion Here
 The transfer of Alaska Indian schools from the Bureau of Educa- tion to the Bureau of Indian Affairs was discussed at the regular Mon- day luncheon of the WrangelI Com mercial Club. Several members de- plored this change and favored some action along the lines which the Juneau club had taken. The major ity, however, were of the opinion that such matters had better be left in the hands of experts at Wash ington.
