New York, May 27--(UP) What ever the losses sustained during the past two years, the world has gained materially by the chasteAlin8 discipline of hard times, J" James A. Farrell. chairman of the national foreign trade council, said to-day. at the opening session of the natoihal foreign trade convention. =,
 Demands have been made" he continued, "upon industry to repRir defects in the economic structure; to abandon policies that violate fun daitlental laws, and to apply morG scientific methods in overcoming ob- stacles to readjustment to new con- dHions. This house cleaning has been rendered necessary by the de- engagements of a war which caught the western world inNa transition stage between 18th century indus trial era dragging to it's close, and the beginning of a new industrial revolution to which scientific re- search and invention had given birth on the American continent"
 Examining statistics for world trade, Farrell found that the volume of recession has been less than value. While foreign trade has fallen off considerably 1t still main- tains salient features characteristic of progress in the past decade. Far rell said it is vital to national pros- perity to find an 0veriseas market for at least 10 per cent of total pro- duction but that i've should not

James A. Farrell Says Casteng Discipline Win Caase
 industry to Repair It's Economic Structure

forget the rock from whence sue- cessful foreign trade Is hewu, the in- durstrfal Foundations that have been % we'll and deeply laid in our home market
 I've have been slow as . people to envisage our trade as national in scope and in its benefits" the speak CT went on. With the knowledge that our country mast be prepared to meet keener competition in world markets, it seems unwise for individual states of the union to con- tinue imposing harassing regulations I and legislative enactnenfs that tend Ito impede the free course of trans- continental commerce.
 Interdependence of agriculture and industry should make Ameri- Icans at all times sympathetic to kplans for improving agricultural sconditions Farrell said. adding that t'fixation of prices without control of production is one of the root caue- ea, of the present world depression"
 He pointed out the fact that foreign trade is increasingly depen- dant upon services of American skipping with about 33 per cent in value and 40 per cent in volume of total foreign trade carried in Ameri- can bottoms.
 Causes other than the tariff must be sought in connection with world depr ession, Farrell declared. com menkfng upon ''confusi0n of thought on tlAfs point and suggesting that

said that ''the machine Is the crea- ton and the servant of man--it can only be transformed into . Franken- stein when man ceases to be intelli- gent, inventive and resourceful."
 'No one contemplating the vast resources of the United States" he concluded, ''the basic soundness of our institutions, our financial and industrial integrity which so power fully has sustained our country in the perplexing and trying period through which we have been pass ing, our creditor position in the position in the world, our unim- paired efficiency and economic strength, and the splendid morale of our people, can have any doubt that we possess within ourselves the pow CT to lead in world trade recovery"
 Speaking on ''The Pacific Area" Wallace R. Harrington, former gov ernor of Hawaii, outlined lines of action which might build business and make friends. These included correction of immigration law in equalities, strengthening of the service of the state department and the departments of commerce and agriculture, facing of the silver situation, study of languages of peo-. pie of the Pacific, support of exten- sion of the American merchant ma rine, liberal investment in travel promotion, lower message transmits sion costs and support to confer ences.
 ''The day is rapidly passing" said Harrington, "when business can be increased by kicking customers in the shins."

 Frank G. Johnson

Quietly, almost stealthi1y. the Juneau Camp of the Alaska Ma tive Brotherhood has been busy working on their new hall which lis to occupy the same site on Willouhby Avenue. Frank Mer- cer, the President, told me that

 one large room for a banquet hall.
 At the rear end will be two rest rooms and the Juneau Camp is working to build such a hall as will make any camp proud, their primary, object being to be ] table to entertain their friends
 and to be a credit to the A. N. B.
 There is a most cordial spirit
 Of cooperation as the work goes on under the supervision of
 President Frank Mercer and the
 Building Committee which con-
 sist of James Clarke, Chairman; lDave Willard; James Jackson; Jack Gamble. As the Christmas
 Twas approaching there was a Hot of overtime work being done
 in an effort to put some program lon at the hall on Christmas day. Too much credit cannot be lgiven the Sisterhood who have
 dnself1shly given of their time
 in serving meals to the workers
 every working day. Mary Wat ison with her committee consist ling of Elsie Jack, Mrs Smith,
 Mrs. Martin, Mrs. Clarke and

thusiasm shown at the meeting held on the evening of the 16th There was a lively discussion of the business as they came up and the meeting got a substantial encouragement from the Sister hood in offering to furnish the furniture for their room and to help pay for the light bill.
 The building as a whole will be 40X98x22 and is to be the community center for members of the camp and their friends. The brothers have been so busy that they have not had time tc tell the rest about it; they pre- fer to do the work and let others see them as they are.
 All of the work is to be done oy the members, except that of wiring which must be passed upon by city officials and will therefore, be done under the su- pervision of an expert electri- clan.

 Attorney McGrath was appoint ed receiver by Judge Frank P. Mo- Evoy last Wednesday on applica- ton made by Attorney William B.. Fitzgerald, representing Louis Bria.
