ENGLAND'S EMPIRE
! TRADE AT STAKE
Conference at Ottawa Will
Try to Induce DominionS to
"Buy British"
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

What in ordinary times amounts to
q round two billion dollars worth OF
American export trade to the British
Empire Is at stake in the British I'M
perial Conference opening at Ottawa
this week. Washington's foremost COM
mercial authorities believe that while
this business is threatened by any ulti-
mate decision to link John Bulls vast
empire into Buy British" confedera-
ton, American interests are not actually
endangered. The reason Is that the
British, their dominions as well as the
mother country of Great Britain, need
the rich American market.
1t is considered highly improbable
here that Ottawa will at this time do
anything to jeopardize British trade
with the United States. Reprisals
would be invited by such action, and,
in the present temper of the American
people and Congress toward abroad"
it would not be difficult to mobilize
public sentiment in favor of instituting
retaliatory action. British statesmen,
especially Canadians, are aware of all
this. 1t is expected to be the factor
from moving in any direction that
might lead to a British American tariff
conflict in the immediate future.
The avowed purpose of the confer
ence, described in London as the most
vital in empire history, is to persuade
the various constituent nations of the
British commonwealth to buy more
goods in empire countries and fewer
goods in non-British countries. For
years almost every important British
land has purchased in the United
States on scale second only to its
buyingS in Great Britain. Canadian
American trade has been almost con-
sistently heavier than Canadian British
trade, due, of course mainly to the
proximity of the Dominion to the United
States. In prosperity boom" days,
American sales to the British Empire
ran regularly over s2,0O0,000,O00 year,
reaching peak of roundly two and a
quarter billions in 1929. They sank in
1881 to $l,020,0l2,000.
During the boom" period British
Empire nations sold to the United
States an average of $500, 900, 900 of
their goods year. This volume, like
our exports to the empire. was almost
cut in two during 1881, when British
sales in the American market fell to
$500, ,276 900. There is not a single
British daughter nation" which would
not be affected by any serious inter-
ruption of British American commerce
as the result of Buy British con-
federation which sought to discrimi-
nate against Yankee goods.
Here is how our trade with the en-
pire was distributed in 1881:

CHAMBER GETS
MORE SALES OF
MOUNTAIN TOPS

According to the El Centro cham
Der of commerce, eastern operat-
ors are once more selling Chocolate
mountain land as Imperial Valley
land to the gullible. This latest
operator is selling mortgages on
this worthless mountain land for
500 per acre and anyone who can
get money into circulation by this
means would be invaluable in the
national campaign it would seem,
says Secretary Hays.
Immediately upon receipt of in
formation that sales of this land
were again being recorded, Hays,
contacted the California state real
estate commission and communi-
Gated with the. chamber of COM
merce of Dayton, Ohio, and the
better business bureau of that city
to see if these fraudulent operat-
ors could not be stopped. This has
been the procedure during the four
years of campaigning by the local
chamber against the sale of worth
less land. Results are obtained
within a few weeks, with sales
stopped, the operators warned or in
some cases punished for their ques-
tiOnable deals.

The liner passed Woosung at

as the craft was not heard

BIC FEDERAL AID
BILL OKAYED

A new compromise unemploy-
ment relief bill, combining a
$375, 100000 appropriation for
Federal loans to States with an
other 1915 100000 fund for
Federal-aid roads, met the "gen-
eral approval" today of the
Democratic steering committee of
the Senate.
The Democrats will support this
bill as substitute for the La
Toilette -Costigan measure, which
would authorize $375. 100000 for
contributions to the States in re-
lieving unemployment. The COM
promise measure, totalling $780,
100000 would eliminate direct re-
lief and substitute loans on the
one hand and road appropriations
on the other.

GEN. KE|FER, 81,
GIVEN HONOR

Pausing in its consideration of

Congress, 1881-1882. Senator
Simeon D. Fess. Republican,
Ohio, said:
General Keifer was born
when Andrew Jackson was
President. When he was born
this nation had but 100000
population and now it has
12O,OOO,OOO."
Senator Fess further gave
tribute to the public services of
the aged Ohioan. a Union Army
veteran. and so did Senator Nor
