SEEKING
 VALLEY OF GOLD

Ross Cunningham, writing in the Seattle Star of June 20 days the legendary Valley of Gold" in Southeast Alaska or the Cassiar district of western Canada will be sought by a new aerial expedition due to leave Seattle the last part of this week.
 Dave Bunch, Seattle aviator, and Gaylord Adams, Hoquiam pioneer, both former Alaska prospectors, were at the Northwest Air Service hangars today converting a new plane, purchased for the expedi- ton, onto pontoons for the flights.
 Second Trip
 This will be the second eXpedi- tion in search of the valley this year, as Ansce1 Eckmann, Seattle and Alaska avaitor, is reported as searching for the valley in con- junction with other flying opera tions in that vicinity.
 Bunch said he will fly inland up the Stikine River from Wrangell into the Cassiar district.
 This is in the same territory where Eckmann said he believed he had located the valley last Fall.
 Will Carry Radio
 In refusing to divulge the course of his flight, Bunch said he is having the plane equipped with ra- dio and in case he is forced down or suffers some mishap he can radio his position out to one of the numerous government radio sta tions in Alaska and ask for succor.
 Bunch flew to Seattle from Los Angeles Saturday. The plane is a Fokker Universal, equipped with a Wright J-9 motor, somewhat simi- lar to the one used by Nat Browne in the attempted Tokyo flight, al- though a later model.

LONDON, England, June 28. The shadows of uncounted smoke less factory chinlnsys, slanting in the sun across Great Britain's once teeming industrial areas, will be fresh in the minds of the dele gation which the mother country sends to the Imperial conference at Ottawa in July.
 Lowering the Barriers
 To put fires back in those fur naces, to re-employ the millions Of workmen made jobless by the island kingdoms diminishing lm- portance as an exporter of manu- factured goods, the delegation will be willing to make almost any con- ceSsion.
 The price which probably Will be exacted of them will be the dropping of newly erected tariff barriers, insofar as they affect az ricultural produce of the domln-

an economic unit. But in practice it is far different-South Africans drive automobiles from Detroit; Canadians use Pennsylvania iron and steel; Indians wear Japanese woven textiles; Britons eat Danish bacon, bread from South American wheat, beef from the pampas of the Argentine.
 In 1929 the overseas Empire imported altogether three billion dollars worth of manufactured goods; but of this great total only $1, ,350, 100000 came from the meth CT country British industry could have supplied another $1 ,25o, ,000,0 ,0o0 worth, or all except $400,000,000
 The 0,OOO,00O Prize
 It is that additional $1 1,250, 100000 in business that the delegation to Ottawa is going after.
 To Canada, the mcsherland'j message will be- Buy our iron and steel and manufactured pro- ducts and we'll purchase your wheat, your lumber and your meat. {" To Australia: Buy our manu- factured goods and we'll try to use more Of your wheat, meat, wool and dairy products
 To New Zealand: Buy British and we'll eat less Danish butter and bacon, and more of yours
 To South Africa: Buy our farm implements and motor cars, and we'll put South African fruits on our breakfast tables"
 The problem will be to buy more wheat and meat from Australia and Canada without antagonizing Argentina, where there. is tre- mendous British monetary stake. to buy more dairy goods from New Zealand and Australia without los ing British markets in Denmark; i; to replace non-Empire imports with imports from the Empire without raising retalitory tariffs against Great Britains products in non Empire countries.
 The skeptlcs claim it can't be done. They say Whitehall and Ottawa are playing with fire in attempting to rearrange the world markets by artificial means. The results will be, they aver, increas- ed food costs in the Island king don and loss of valuable mar kets.
 The optimists say it can be done, and envisage an Empire bound more closely by mutual economic interests than it has ever been bound by the political ties which vanished a few months ago, with the Statute of Westminster.

ions. In return, the dominions will be expected to lower their own tar if barriers against British manu- facture.
 To start smoke pouring forth once more from those idle chim- neys, the dominion must put Brit ish manufactured goods on store counters at distinct price ad- vantage over manufacturers of oth- CT nations particularly the Unit cd States.
 Visualize Economic Uni:
 Of the Empire it has been said The sun never sets on British soil" It stretches round the world. It covers more than a quarter of the worlds land surface. Its population is 450OOO,OO0, fifth of the worlds total. The value of the Empire in 1929 was estimated at 28.2 percent of the worlds total.
 Yet no part of the Empire is self-contained. Each is dependent upon overseas markets. Great Br1- tain's exports of manufactured goods are a vital necessity upon which the livelihood of the British people depends. Conversely, the Dominions, India and Crown Col onies, to prosper, must export their and mineral products.
 In theory, each is dependent up- on the other, together they form
