American Merchant Murine
 Slightly Improues Standing

NEW YORK, June 23.-Faced with the keenist competition in many years, the American merch- ant marine has slightly improved its position as carrier of American commerce.
 Percentages calculated from United States shipping board sta- tistics indicate that in 1880 Ameri- can vessels carried about one per cent more of Americas total for eign trade than in 1929, despite stringent competitive conditions brought on by the world economic depression.
 Fostered by the Jones-White mer- chant marine act of 1928 and with the encouragement of easy govern ment loans and mail contracts, this country's passenger-cargo vessels have been constructed in increasing numbers.
 Strictly cargo vessels carry more than 60 per cent of Americas com- merce-yet, says the New York Trust Company, in the past five years only three ships of this type have been built in the United States.

HENRY FORD HAS VISIONS
 NEW NATION
Perfect Industrial State k Outlined; Scheme Be-
 ing Worked Out

DETROIT, Mich, June 23.-- Henry Ford has visions of a Ma tion of the future as perfect in- dustrial state-a nation made ur of factories surrounded by farms able to sustain them.
 The farms will supply the fac tories with carrots, cantaloupes corn, wheat and other agricultural products from which automobile building material, clothing and other necessities of life, with food as an incidental product, will be turned out.
 Great industrial centers will be no longer necessary, Ford theorizes, since factories and farms will be scattered over the Nation. Work vii be brought from remote sec- tions with modern transportation and intermediary. The theory is that agriculture and industry must be interlocked.
 Ford is eniarging his experiment tai farm near here. It extends over 5000 acres On it engineers, sci- entists, soil experts, and chemists will work on lavish scale, at- tempting to prove Ford's contention that agricultural products may be turned into something other than food.

countries launched S63 cargo ves- sels
 Although some few of these ships already have been laid up, most of them. embodying the latest tech nica improvements, are faster and can be operated at lower cost than the majority of American cargo ships.
 The majority of American vessels in foreign trade are slow speed cargo ships built during the war.
 They were purchased from the shipping board at low prices and could not otherwise be operated profitably against the competition of more modern foreign vessels.
 Shipping men here feel that the development of our merchant ma rine definitely hinges on the round- ing out of our fleets with cargo vessels. These, they believe. can not be built in competition with for eign builders without government aid equivalent to that given the passenger-cargo boats.
 Congress yet is to act on several amendments to the Jones' White act intended to promote cargo ship building.

MEzIN, France, June 23-Cle- ment Armand Fallieres, former President of France, died suddenly at his home here.
 One of the few surviving found- CTS of the Third Republic passed away in Clement Armand Fallieres. AS Senator, Minister and President he aided the growth of the French nation, but his strong Republican tendencies did not deter most active social life among Europe's royalty when he became President.
 His career encompassed the entire period from the Franco-Prussian War until 1910, when, 1t since has been revealed, the rumblings of the World War already were being heard in the Continental capitals.
 Fallieres was elected deputy from his department in 1876, the first really Republican Parliament after the Royalist party had been routed and their leader, Marshal Mac Mahon, forced to abandon power.
 Spectacular Career
 Becoming under-secretary of the Interior Department in 1880, he began spectacular career as hol- der of government portfolios which lasted for ten years.
 That year he also became Min ister of the Interior in Jules Fer ry's cabinet. Two years later he received the same post under Du- clerc and the following year was called upon to form his own cab met, in which he was Minister of Foreign Affairs along with the Premiership. His other cabinet posts after he lost control of the government were: Minister of the Interior under Rouvier, 1887; Minis

.L.SUBY BROWNS IN TAKU INLET
 WITH AID NEAR
Local Man Sinks as Res cuer in Skiff Almost
 Reaches His Side

Luther Suby, 26 years of age and a resident of Juneau for the past three years, lost his life by acci- dental drowning in Taku Inlet early this morning. Efforts to re- cover his body were in progress this afternoon.
 MT. Suby is survived by widow and two small children, boy and girl A sister of Mrs. Suby also resides here with the family, and her mother and father, MT. and Mrs. 0. 0. Karels are also here at present.
 After Errant Skiff
 The accident occurred while MT Suby and two companions, Harold Fjarlie and David Flemming, were on cruise down Gastineau Chan mel into Taku Inlet, on Subys small gasboat. The three men went ashore near Pt. Bishop about 1 am, to get some fresh water, according to a statement made by Fjarlie and Flemming to United States Con- missioner Charles Sey this morn ing.
 They anchored the gasboat and rowed ashore in skiff, which they pulled up on the beach but did not tie up They went up small stream and were absent from the beach about 20 minutes. When they returned the skiff was afloat and drifting away.
 Thinking the water was not deep there, Fjarlie waded out toward the skiff but was unable to reach it. Suby, discovering the other man could not swim, called to him to come ashore and said he would swim after the boat. He threw off his coat and plunged in with the remainder of his clothing on He made it to the skiff without diffi- culty but could not raise himself high enough out of the water to grasp its side.
 Flemming Goes To Aid
 After trying for several minutes to secure the boat, Suby abandoned the effort and turned over on his back to keep afloat. Flemming, who is strong swimmer, then went to his aid. He swan out to the skiff and with some difficulty got into it. Suby by this time was TO or 80 feet distant.
 Flemming then started to row over and pick him up. Just be- fore he reached him, Suby sank beneath the water and never re- appeared. Flemming dived a num-
