FOREIGN SALES AND EXPORTS ON
 THE INCREASE
Imports Fell Short, HOw- ever = American FOr- eign Trade Has Turned Upward

Washington, Nov 17-(UP)-Unit- ed States sales abroad showed a continued increase in October, with exports aggregating $205.00O, ,000, an increase of approximately $25'- 000,000 over exports in Septem- Der. The commerce department announced the figures today. Imports, however, fell slightly below September, the october total being $169, 100000 as compared with $170.36s,000 in September. September exports were $1S0,2S1,- 900.
 Indications that American for eign trade has turned definitely up- ward again were seen in the fact that October followed September with increases over previous months. There had been a down. ward trend in the months imme- diately preceding September.
 October exports, however, were far below those for October last year, when the total was $326,S96,- 900, approximately $120,0O0,OOO more than for this month. Imports for October 1880. were $247,S67,- 900.
 American sales abroad for the first ten months of this year were $1,232,615,000 less than for the corresponding 10 months of 1030. Total exports for the 10 months this year were s2,046,731.00o as compared with 3,279, ,346.000 for the corresponding 1880 period.
 Imports were $S61,022,060 less than for the 10 months of 1930. $1,7S7,657,000 as compared with S2,G4S,670,000 for the 10-month period in 1880. The advance in exports in October was ascribed by commerce department officials largely to a $i6.6o0.0O0 increase In the value of cotton exports.
 The United states had a favor able trade balance of 30,000, 900 in tSctober. The favorable balance has been maintained through the depression with tho exception of August this year.

GREAT BRITAIN
 TARIFF POLICY
 MAY HURT US.
Capital Officials Are Sur= prised That England Will Start So Soon Under New Policies
BY THOMAS l.. STOKES United Press Staff Corresponden

United Press Staff Correspondent Washington, November IT - (UP) - Great Britain's abandon ment of her traditional free trade policy for a tariff was seen today as possibly the link which may force the nations to feadjust tar- ifs.
 Officials here had accepted the probability of @ tariff. They were, however, stunned by the sudden ness with which the national gov- ernment operated. Privately they expressed concern over the harmful effect on United States trade.
 To what extent the United States will be affected can be determined only after the schedules are fixed by the British Board of Trade.
 Great Britain is the best custo- mer of the United states. Last year she bought nearly a sixth of the goods which this country sold to the world, or $678,108,000.
 The tariff will affect particular ly American manufactured goods. a third of United States exports to Great Britain. The class of semi manufactured goods made up 14.9 per cent of sales to Great Britain last year, while raw materials. con- stituted 27.6 per cent and food stuffs, 24.1 per cent.
 By adopting tariff, Great Bri- tain will be in a position to bargain if nations decide to reduce tariff barriers by agreement.
 Officials here had expected that England would wait before taking the tariff course to see if the su- spension of the gold standard would be sufficient to help her to balance her budget. Stimulation to industry already had been noted in commerce. department reports; Enactment of a tariff will tend to increase movement of American branch factories to England. In- crease of the Canadian tariff has set up hundreds of branch plants there. In the past eight months, Americans have bought 154 sites for branch factories in England.

Alexander Declares Maintenance Of

CINCINNATI, April 16.-Magnus W.
Alexander. New York, president of the

Mr.. Alexander's statement was given
in an address prepared for the thirty
third annual meeting Of the National
Metal Trades Association here. Mr..
Alexander was unable to attend, but
his address was read.

facts shown that at present not only

that several more millions are working
on short time. In consequence. even
though the high wage rates of 1928 and
1929 have been maintained in most

LONDON, April 16.-Whatever their
Judgment of Alfonso's Kingship, London
newspapers of all shades of opinion,
from Socialist to Tory, today gave the
fallen monarch credit for the manner of
his retirement from the throne, compli-
menting him for Sparing Spain the
bloodshed which, it was held. must in
evitably have resulted from any attempt
on his part to hold the sovereignty
against the popular will.
BY his prompt and StateSmanlike &C
ceptance of the facts, Alfonso spared
his country the cruel ordeal OF a civil
war" says the Times, while the Social
ist Herald. together with papers Of other
views, accords him the same high merit.
Brought Fate on Himself.
On the other hand, it is widely ad-
mitted, that he brought the fate upon
himself by supporting the dictatorship
of Primo de Rivera.
IF most Spaniards are still monarch
ist at heart" says the Times, they are
hostile to Alfonso, whose support of the
dictatorship cost him the throne. Ma
terial benefits alone cannot satisfy a
people or compensate them permanently
for the loss of their liberty"
1t was being assumed that England
porarily at least, and it was pointed out
that he would be welcomed here for his
bonhomie, accessibility. interest in sport
and his unsullied relations with the
British royal family, which have long
made him popular here.
Laid Financial Plans.
It was said that his exile was not
likely to be embittered by poverty. II
current reports are true he is one Of
the richest men in Europe, and foresee-
ing the possibility of loss of the throne
he had laid his plans we'll.
The story gees that he not only in
herited an immense fortune from his
mother, Queen Christina. but himself
possessed financial genius, which led
him to make many shreWd investments.
It was also said that he had withdrawn
most Of his funds from Spain, and re-
invested them in American and British
securities.
Although there was no authoritative
announcement that King Alfonso was
headed for England, the present sup
position is that he will come here and
probably reside with his family at
Kensington Palace, where his wife'S
mother, Princess Beatrice, lives.
