STRIKES
At TARIFF
MEASURE I

LOS ANGELES, May "a
U.N.SO.-The National Foreign
Trade Council declaration which
was interpreted by its officials
to cover the tariff stand of the
organization today was adopted
as follows:
"The sixteenth National For
eign Trade Convention at Bal
timOre last year called atten-
ton to the important fact that
the international balancing of
trade and the legitimate ex-g
pansiOn of our merchant ma.
rine ought not to be prejudiced
by any procedure on our part
which would tend to invite re-
taliatory action by other ma
tiOns.
"The national foreign trade
convention recognizes the funda-
mental fact that the only en-
during basis for world trade is
founded upon the principle Of
justice and fair play between,
nations and that international
goodwill can only be main
tanned through the development
of friendship and mutual un-
derstanding. This convention
favOrs strongly a revision of
the immigration act Of 1924 in
accordance with these views.
"ThiS convention records its
satisfaction at the progress
made during the last year un-,
der the JOnes.White act in the
development of the American
merchant marine. Several pro-
pOsals pending in Congress are
designed to improve the law.
Provision should be made to-
extend to cargo ships adequate
aid to equalize higher American,
construction and operation
costs. 1t is essential that the,
American merchant fleet should
be fully developed"

Laughs by the carload make
"Eeet First" Harold Lloyd's latest
motion picture. one of the biggest
hits of the season, and two aud
fences which witnessed it last night
returned TO their homes still chuckl-
ing over the funny antics Of the be-
spectacled comedian.
Lloyd is seen in the role of a shoe
clerk who falls in love with a girl
whom he believes to be rich and
i1 his efforts to make himself solid
with her he gets into all sorts OF
trouble, even TO the extent OF being
carried off on q boat, with no ticket
and with less than five dollars IN
his pocket.
Good luck gives him an opportu-
nifty TO save q big contract for his
loss and III the end he quits being
g shoe clerk, and Of course, gets the
eirl.
There IS much Of the usual Lloyd
comedy throughout the picture, but
few Of his OLD tricks are used. Bar

Is bv no means shunted TO the back

 In support of his motion MT. 3ott writes:
 "On every trip to Alaska I lave been especially impressed with the beautiful Fireweed, put have seen but few forget me-nots. It's true that the Fire weed grows in British Colum- oia, and in parts of the States, put so does the Forget-me-not. 1 have never seen Fireweed anywhere that could equal the beauty in color, size and form Is this exquisite flower in Alas da, and I feel that tourists par icularly are impressed with his glorious and beautiful lower growing in such profus- ion. The name, however, hould be termed. "Fireflower" instead of "Fireweed."
