CANADA TRADE
. PACT BLOW
At j. S.
Agreement With Australia Is
New Step in Retaliation
Against High U. S. Tariff
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
Those officials char. with
revivi..-- Americas dr. for
eign trade contemplated with IS
may today the ann lcement in
G Java that Canada and Aus.
liza have concluded a trade agree
ment by which they are ding
to trade MOI with each ~s.ic"S
and less with the United States.
The two Bri jh Om:n 1wealthS,
after months of irritation over
the new American t. -iff law nd
,sfter negotiations between t. I'm
selves, have a. eed to grant each
9th, preferential tariffs on q
long list of itemc, :anging from
raw materials to manufactured
products.
Makes America Pay
Thus, in a single year. Cana
da's energetic premier, who rode
into power last July on plat
form of American tariff rcUalia-
ton, has succeeded in major
part of his program which was
to make America pay" for
what Canada considers che in
Justice done her by the Smoot-
Hawley tariff law.
Canada is Americas best for
eign customer, and Australia,
while a long way off, has been a
good one.
In 1929, Canada bought goods
in this country to the value OF
little less than a billion dollars,
$948, 900, 900 to be exact, and sold
America only $504 100000, leaving
a net favorable balance for the
United States of $444. 900 900.
Australia bought 50.000, 900, and
sold only $31, 900, 900 of her prod
ucts here.
Little United States Can Do
Due to Canadian resentment
over the ISmoot-Hawley bill, the
plight of American industries
across the line and the agitation
kicked up by the Bennett regime,
Canada's purchases in 1880
dropped to $847 100000. or ap-
proximately $1O0,O00,O00, while
she increased her sales to the
United States over the 1929 figure.
There is little the United
States can do about it. Prefer
entail tariffs between France
and Germany, for example,
would lead to immediate protests,
but preferential tariffs between
two sister dominions of the Brit
ish commonwealth of nations is
something else again. r Nc enc
realizes that better than the as
tute prime minister of Canada.

SOVIET STAMP BEARS
a HORSEMEN IMAGE
Allagory Internationally Printed
on Cavalry Mobilization
Emblem.

MOSCOW Especially ON the occa-
sion OF the tenth anniversary Of the
organization of the Red arYny's first
regular cavalry detachment a special
stamp has been issued which bears a
design strikingly similar to the tradt-
tional picturizations of the four horse
men of the Apocalypse. Four riders
are shown in a mad race across the
face Of the stamp, on which is roughly
outlined map of the European Sec
ton of the Soviet Union.
Undoubtedly the designer Of this
somewhat unusual stamp would deny
anything resembling biblical inspira-
ton for his work and would insist that
there could be no possible connection
between his four Red army cayalrymen
and what he, if he were acquainted at
all with the Book of Revelations,
would undoubtedly describe as the fig
mentS of st. Johns imagination.
The first of the horSemen pictured
companions, each leaning far forward
on his horse, carry their weapons
above their heads. The stamp, which
is of IA kopekS value, is so colored in
red and green as to give it something
of the appearance at first glance Of a
Red Cross seal. At the corners is
caption: Ten years Of the first
mounted DIVISION
Perhaps it is of interest to note that
one of the horses which ST. John saw
in his vision was red. Here Is the text:
Revelations, Chapter 6, Verse 4: And
there went out another horse that was
red; and power was given to him that
sat thereon to take peace from the
earth, and that they should kill one
another; and there was given unto
him a great sword"

Crops In the Missouri Slope coun-

day by q rain which totaled 40 Of an

Although this area was not In real
need Of moisture it was expected to
speed termination Of the small grain
crop, most Of which has been planted
At Z q. M, only .03 Of inch Of rair
had fallen but q steady drizzle had
increased this amount to 40 by 1890
a.. m, and the prospect was that adj
ditional rain might fall during the
day.
Scattered showers were reported
from other sections of the state but
the federal weather bureau had NO
information regarding precipitation
in the northwestern part Of the state.
which is said to be unusually cry for
