OTTAWA FARLEY
HITS u. s. TRADE
Intensive Rivalries
Between u. S.
Britain

OTTAWA, Aug. 1e-rn q move to
strengthen the position Of British I'M
perialisn in the preparation for a
new world war, the British delegates
to the Imperial Economic Conference
being held here agreed to grant al
most al the demands of the Dornin-
ions, it was learned last night.
It is generally admitted here that
British Imperialism gave more than
it received from the Dor1inions. 4
heavy food tax which will ultimately
fall on the British workers, was
agreed to by the delegates of the
British Government A measure
against Soviet goods was also agreed
to in return for some preferences
which are obviously directed against
United States trade
There are indications here that
British imperialism got q secret pledge
that its i,nperialist aspirations and
war preparations will be supported
for its concessions to the Donlinions.
What seems to have guided the
British delegates during the whole
CO-l-Cl CllC0 ID G-lC WdIll1llS CCIlGdlliSQ
in the famous memorandum of the
Federation OF British Industries,
namely that. 'If the Donninions de-
eide, instead Of cooperation, to stand
alone, each of then, must eventually
fall under the domination of some
foreign economic group"
There is no doubt that the "econo-
mic group" referred to is American
against WHICH the British
tiled to realize the CLOSER
unity" of the British Empire.
Before the conference the editor
Of the British paper 1.-THE Times" de-
clared: "The feeling that we are
moving to new world war may drive
the Don1inions to enter into an agree
n1ent with the British Government on
economical and political questions"
That the contradictions within. the
British Empire itself are only tenn
porarily allayed but not eliminated is
shown by the fact that the Irish and
Australian delegates to the confer
snce refused to give their approval to
the proposal for an Empire Trade
Rnard which was thus defeated.

She and her daugh- ter, Miss Arlene Baum, have come to make their home with MT. Baum who is manager of the delicatessen department of the the United Food Company.
 Our voyage North was enjoyable beyond all expectations. The stately grandeurs and the entrancing beau ties of the Inside Passage inspired us, as they must every person who views them for the first time, with awe and wonder. They are unbe- lievable until seen, and unforget- table forever afterwards. Like Ju- neau? I know we shall"

IMAGE HYMNS
 STRICKEN OUT
 BY METHODISTS
Over Graphic Words Are Revolting to Young
 Folks, Is Claim

NEW YORK, March 19.-Certain hymns containing the imagery Of blood are likely to be dropped from the hymnal of the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Metho- dist Episcopal Church, South.
 The Rev. Dr. John w. Langdale, secretary of the commission on the revision of the hymnal and psalter of the two churches, told a gather ing of ministers such imagery had become ''revolting' to young people.
 Although final action has not been taken on any hymns, A out of 121 hymns in the present book written by the prolific Charles Wesley are tentatively listed for elimination, and six out of nine teen hymns in the book written by John Wesley, father of Method ism, have been set aside for prob able omission. These are some oi the hymns considered antiquated or too infrequently used.
 One hymn suggested for elimina- tion is "The gospel" written in the eighteenth century by Isaac Watts and containing the stanza:
 "To the blest fountain of thy blood
 Incarnate God, I fly:
 Here let me wash my spotted soul
 From crimes of deepest dye"
