BRITAIN RANKS
HIGH IN j. s.

Analysing American foreign
trade of last year. the United
States Chamber Of Commerce an
nounced today that Canada con-
tinued in first place for the
second consecutive year as a Gus
toner of and salesman to the
United States.
Exports to Canada last year
totaled $948,501, 900, while i'm
ports amounted to $504,277, 900,
making a total foreign trade Of
nearly $500, 900, 900. The re-
port said:
With an estimated population
of only 9,797, 200 every adult and
child in the dominion had an
interest in our foreign trade
amounting to $14S."
United Kingdom Next
The United Kingdom, the re-
port showed, held its position as
our second leading market, with
a negligible gain over 1929. Ex-
ports to the United Kingdom
totaled $S47, $50, 900, or $1OO,521-
900 less than our exports to
Canada. More than one-third OF
our total exports are taken by
these two units Of the British
Empire.
Germany remained our third
best customer despite a decline
in our exports to that country
amounting to $57 100000, or IL
per cent below 1928, the greatest
loss among our markets. This
decrease was largely attributable
to smaller takingS Of unmanu-
factured cotton and automobiles,
the former being $4,000, 900 and
the latter $4,800,000.
France Back In Fourth
France regained her position
as fourth leading market, a place
which Japan has held since 1927.
Our French exports last year
were 1864 900, or 10 per cent
greater than in 1928. Copper,
automobiles and parts. and gas
oline figured heavily in this in
creased trade.
The decline of $4,000, 900, or
10 per cent in sales to Japan,
which relegated that country to
fifth rank, was largely in one
commodity-unmanufactured cot
ton.
With the single exception Of
Canada, the largest gain in ex.
port sales for 1929 was registered
by Argentina, whose increase Of
$31 1888, 900, or II per cent over
1928, was the largest ever made
by the South American republic.
Motors and Machinery
Prominent factors in this gain
were automobiles and parts,
agricultural, electrical and in
duStrial machinery, and gasoline.
A decline of $22, 500, 900 in sales
Of leaf tobacco and cigarettes to
China more than offset gains in
our exports of manufactured cot
ton machinery, motor trucks, and
other articles and resulted in a
decrease of 13,307 900 below our
1928 exports. China was one of
the few countries which increased
their purchases of unmanufac-
tured cotton from us last year.
Substantial increases in our
export trade were registered by
Belgium, Brazil, Soviet Russia,
Denmark, Latvia, Venezuela,
Panama, Chile, Dutch West In.
dies, Philippine Islands, Dutch
East Indies, Persia, and British
South Africa.
Records for Imports
Striking declines were recorded
by Spain, Finland, Hong Kong,
Colombia, Dominican Republic,
Haiti, Guatemala, and British
West Africa.
Imports from Europe last year,
amounting to $1,250,000, 900, were
the largest ever recorded, being
Z per cent greater than In 1928.
Purchases from South Africa
constituted the largest value in
postwar years, increasing IL per
cent above 1923. -

FRANKFORT, KY, January IS
(R).-Threats to prevent the Univer-
sity of Kentucky from playing ath-
letic teams from other States after
it dropped Centre from its foot ball
schedule materialized in the Senate
yesterday in the form of a bill to
carry them out. but apparently little
will come of it.
Senator H. D. Fitzpatrick, Repub-
lican, Floyd County, a graduate of
Centre, introduced bill to prohibit
State-maintained colleges from play
ing athletic games with teams out
side Kentucky, but after some jocu-
lar remarks by senators, Lieut.. Gov.
Breathitt, also a Centre graduate,
referred the bill to the Senate fish
and game committee.
Kentucky announced last Fall that
1t dropped the Centre team from its
foot ball schedule in order to in
crease its Southern Conference
schedule, and Centre thereupon re-
fused to play Kentucky in any ath-
letic games.
