SOVIET'S Goods
To ESCAPE
EMBARGO
England and DominionS Make
Some Progress at Empire
ParIey at Ottawa

OTTAWA, July % (I.N.S.}.
Great Britain will not place
embargo on goods produced
in Soviet Russia. The British
government will entertain a
preferential tariff for Cana
dian wheat and at the same
time will consider methods to
curtail the dumping of Soviet
Russia's products in British
markets.
These essential facts came out
of the imperial economic confer
ence today, following a series OF
informal conversations between
the leading British and Canadian
delegates.
Denmark, Argentine Factors
It is understood here that the
general plan which commits Great
Britain to o consideration of a
wheat preference IN 'Canada'S
favor, in return for considera-
ton of Canadian abandonment
of the Russian embargo, is &C.
cepted by Prime Minister R. B.
Bennett for Canada.
1t is further understood that
Great Britain has agreed to grant
preferences of 3 cents pound on
beef and bacon from the do
minionS and of 4 cents a pound
on mutton, with the proviso that
any arrangements made with the
dominions is contingent upon the
right of Great Britain to conclude
special treaties specifically with
Denmark and the Argentine.
That is, Great Britain will do
the best she can for the
dominions, so long as the arrange
ment does not interfere with her
established foreign trade.
Dairy Products Preferred
Dairy products and some metals
are also included in these pre-
liminary understandings between
Canada and Great Britain.
The British delegation will
increase the preferential treat
ment granted to butter produced
within the dominions and will
offer a small preference to other
dominion dairy products.

FOSTER SISTER
/ TELLS STORY
IN DUNDEE
Scot Seeker of Fortune Learns
Parents Were Wed, He Says,
And "Shame" Lifts

J. DUNDEE, Scotland, July %
(IN.S.) On her deathbed,
the foster-mother of Thomas
Patrick Morris, claimant to the
$30,O00,OO0 Wendell fortune,
told her family that he was
really the son of John Gottlieb
Wendell and the former Mary
Ellen Devine by a secret mar
riage, his foster-sister asserted
today.
The foster-sister, Mrs. James
McAvan, born Rose Annie Nor
ris, told international News Serv-
ice of the dramatic death-bed
statement in an interview at her
home in Midkirk Stile. She said:
"Tom was born in my parents
home in John Street, Dundee,
81 years ago.
"In 1904, my mother lay on
her death-bed. She told Mr..
McAvan, now my husband,
that Tom was only her foster
son and that he really was the
SON of John Wendell and Mary
Ellen Devine.
"TOm was placed in her care
after his real mothers DEATH"
Mrs. Morris family did not be-
lieve the story at first, Mrs. Nc
Avan declared, believing the
dying woman was deliriouS. They
were forced to change their minds
after her death, however, she said,
when we came across a letter
signed by Mr.. Wendell asking the
welfare of his son Thomas" She
added:
"The lawyers in New York
now have this letter"

Efforts of counsel for the Wen
del estate to break down the
story of Thomas Patrick Morris
today resulted only in the dis
closure that the man who claims
to be the son of John Gottleib
Wendell believed Wendell never
formally married his mother.
This revelation came when
John M. Harlan, estate attorney,
asked Morris why he had delayed
presenting his claim to the huge
Wendell fortune for a week after
he accidentally learned Of the
death of Miss Ella Won E. Wen
del by picking up a an old news
paper in the cellar Of his Brook

tonight. I am willing to stand on my record and on the record of the republican party.
 The congressman stated that he was aware of the difficulties that are confronting the local rubber industries. He said he was aware of this fact at the time of his nom- ination that our local industries were having difficulties on account of the dumping of cheap rubber goods in the country from foreign countries. He said there was a tariff on rubber goods, but 1t is not high enough. The trouble is he said that the present rubber tariff was put on when this country and all of the other countries were on the gold standard. Now he said only two countries of the world, France and the United tSates are on the gold standard and the situ- ation has been brought about through the changing of these other countries off of the gold standard. t..s
 There is no law that can stop foreign countries from dumping goods in this country, and the only. way to protect against this condi- ton is by a high tariff. Similar conditions he said prevailed in other manufacturing towns in the valley, citing the cutlery business of Winsted, which is also effected. He informed his hearers that he could assure them that the rub Der industry is going to have q hearing before the tariff commis- sion in Washington on November 29, at which time the question will be thrashed out.

Ex-Mayor Stevens of Hartford appealed to those present to keep the present national ad- ministration in power and to elect Governor Trumbull and U. s.

During the entire history of our country we have never experienced the serious conditions we have now. Connec- ticut's part played in the history of the nation Is outstanding back over the centuries. It was one of the original thirteen states and with the assistance of such states as our own the countr yhas grown to be the greatest power on the face of the earth and we have q great international responsibility as other nations look to this country as an example.
 He praised President Hoover for his clear thinking and his refusal to listen to those who were less strong than than he was in his con- victions.
