American Trade Faces Loss
 By British Parley Program
This is the last of three stor- ies on the forthcoming British conference at Ottawa. It ex- plains the possible effects on American export trade.
By ALVIN MAILMAN

LONDON, June 30l = America's $ two best customers, Canada and the British Isles, may cut theig purchases in the United States to fraction of their present huge total if the Imperial Economic Con- ference at Ottawa in July lives up to the hopes of it's proponents.
 Most of the dominions will fight flor preferences for their products in the markets of the United King dom, where the needs of 45,000,000 people for food and raw materials must be filled Next to that outlet, they desire the trade of Canada.
 At the moment, both are pre- eminently consumers of exports from the United States. But after July. what?
 Buy british"
 If Britain decides to "buy Brit ish," as placards posted all over the empire for these many months past plead and advise, new tariff barriers will be erected against goods of other countries, notably of the United States. And some of the existing barriers will be lowered or demolished for British goods from other pants of the en- pire.
 Americas trade with Canada has shown a Seady annual increase, de- spite some preferences created for British goods. Tn 1892 Canada re- placed Great Britain as the first customer of the United States.
 In 1930 the United Kingdom bought $678 100000 in goods from the United States and sold $210.- 100000 worth to the states; Can ada in the same year purchased $659 100000 and sold $402, 100000.
 But much that Canada buys from the United States could also be obtained from the mother country, and if England should agree to get in Canada much of what she now pUyo aAoii cipC ouuUCo, HillCi iCdii sales to the two countries would be seriously curtailed
 Yankee Smartness
 American manufacturers in many cases beat the tariffs against American products, and put made in Britain" hbels on their goods by establishing branch factories in Canada, and, more recently, in England. The profits from foreign branch factories go back to Amer ica, but the labor employed is British or Canadian.
 While it is in Britain and Can ada that American export trade would be most affected if a scheme of mutual tariff preferences is worked out, trade with the other dominions would be impaired, too
 Australia, in 1880, led the domin- ion purchasers from the United States with total imports of $76,- 100000; South Africa bought s39,- 100000; New Zealand, $29, 300 900; the Irish Free State, 13,7OO, 900; and New Foundland, $11 100000
 British India, which lacks do- minion status, but is participat- ing in the conference, bought s45,- 100000 from America.

ROOSEVELT TO GET BIG VOTE
 FIRST BALLOT
Opposition Making Claims Convention Program
 as Mapped Out

CHICAGO, H., June 30. - The Democratic Party last night wrote the repeal of Prohibition to head the platform then moved forward today toward the nomination of candidate with Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt pressing the advant- age agains the scattered rivals. AS the time for balloting on a choice approached. Roosevelt apparently was hardly more than 100 votes short of ITO needed, but his foes are as insistent as ever he will be stopped. They admitted. however, he had more than half of the con- vention's 1,154 votes. This check was based on the orders given the delegates back home" and cau- cuses here.
 Prediction Made
 Leaders predicted he will get 645 votes on the first ballot at least, but a more liberal calculation showed him shading that total.
 Manager James A. Farley claim ed Roosevelt would poll 690 on the first roll call and enough dele gates will switch before Il is over to decide the issue.
 The opposition is working hard, however.

DEBATE KEEPS CROWD,
 GOOD SPIRITS
Howls and Booes Resounc Through Democratic
 Convention Hall

CHICAGO, June 30.-The debate on Prohibition last night in the Democratic National Convention was fiery one.
 Delegates howled and booed un- til early this morning.
 The repealers were led by Alfred E. Smith, of New York, Gov. AL bert c. Ritchie, of Maryland, and United States Senator David I Walsh, of Massachusetts
 This trio engaged in verbal com bat for hours with the minority group favoring a plank for sub mission under the leadership of Senator Hull, of Alabama, and w. c. Fitts, also of Alabama.
 Crowded galleries joined in cheers and booes, prolonging the show.
 Oratory flowed from both sides.
 Smith summoned all of his old time fervor to condemnation of Prohibition.
 The regime of oratory was in- terspersed with a succession Of wildly whirling demonstrations as any convention has seen in recent times.
 The convention was split to the heavens with appreciation when Smith finished by reminding the convention that he opposed Pro- hibition as the nominee in 1928, -four years ahead of my time
 SOLID SOUTH CHANGES
 Sectional lines went to smash in the roll call for repeal. All of the Southern states, including both the Solid South and border states, voted against resubmission and for direct repeal, the vote being 1912 to a52le showing the sentiment back home especial y in Dixieland is changing,

NO AIaska Plank To Appear in
 Demo Platform,

CHICAGO, H., June 30.-The Resolutions Committee of the Democratic National Conven- tion considered tentatively ap- proval of the home rule blanks for the Territories of Alaska and Hawaii but with the con- sent of the Alaskan and Ha- waiian delegates, they were not included in the tentative plat form as it finally appeared. The reason was to keep the plat form short and confine the sub jects to those of national scope for which reasons the delegates of the two Territories agreed to omission of their blanks.

ARE NOMINATING

CHICAGO, H., June 30.-Placing in nominations the names of fav- orites as candidates for President on the Democratic National Ticket be n suddenly this afternoon. Early this forenoon and even up to the time of the assembling of the convention, at noon, it was not expected that any nominating speeches would be made until the session tonight, but speedy action on the adoption of the party plat form, caused change in the pro- gram arrangements.
 Roosevelt Proposed The first ballot on the Presi- dential candidates came nearer as John E. Mack placed in nomina- tion his old friend, Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, telling the delegates the New Yorker filled "the crying need of practical American, with clear perspective and knowledge I of the entire Nation, as our Chief Executive"
 Tumultuous Outburst One of the most tumultuous out bursts of the vociferous convention came as Mack, who persuaded Roosevelt to run for his first public office more than 20 years ago, placed the Governors name before the delegates.
 Mack said Gov. Roosevelt comes tp the convention with the greatest humber of States behind him in the hi st orsy of the Democratic Party.
 Mack said: Gov. Roosevelt's courage is unquestioned. His word is as good as gold and he will SO conduct the Government of the United States, by safe policies as ! to bring recovery from the ills ac- centuated and increased by Repub- lican uncertainty and instability"
 Great Parade Held
 Long and loud was the demon stration for Roosevelt when his name was put up.

PLAQUE IN HONOR OF RICHARDSON ON VIEW HERE
Memorial to Be Erected on Highway Named for
 Its Builder

For erection on the Richardson Highway, a copper plaque bearing a good likeness of Brig. Gen. WildS P. Richardson and a brief tribute to him as road builder, is now on display in the B. M Behrends Bank in Juneau. The memoria was received this week from Se- attle, where it was cast after a design by the famous sculptor James IA. Wehn It will be taken to a suitable place on the highway this summer and put on large boulder to serve as a perpetual monument to the constructor ot the thoroughfare.
 Cost More Than S1,000
 Funds for the plaque, which cost in excess of $1,000, inclusive ot artists fee and casting expense were gathered by an organization known as the General Richardson Memorial, formed more than tive years ago by friends of the popu- lar Army officer. Gov. George A Parks is president of the ASso- citation; John W. Troy, of the Daily Alaska Empire, vice-presi- dent, and B. M. Behrends, of the B. M. Behrends Bank and the B. M. Behrends Mercantile Com many treasurer
 Most of the money was contrib uted by residents of Alaska, but scme was given by former resi- dents of the Territory in Califor- mia, who were solicited by R. F Lewis, president of the Juneau Water Company.
 Two Photographs Sent Artist
 When MT. Wehn had been en- gagged to design the plaque, he was sent two photographs of Gen Richardson, one showing civilian clothes and one a unif or m The artist selected the picture showing the civilian clothes.
 The inscription on the plaque was worded, after much delibera- tion, by Gov. Parks, MT. Troy and MT. Behrends. It reads:
 'sWilds P. Richardson, Brigadier General, United States Army, AL aska's Pioneer Road Builder. Erect ed by Friends in Appreciation of His Service for Alaska, 1882"
 The Alaska Road Commission at the time of the formation of the Memorial Association, promised to obtain the boulder on which to at tach the plaque and to put the monument in place. These tasks will be entrusted to the Commis- sion.
 Dimensions of Plaque
 The plaque is 28 inches high and 19 inches wide.
 .sNo particular place has been selected for the erection of the memorial" said MT. Behrends. Probably, however, the plaque will not be at either terminal Of the Highway, but rather between the terminals. The exact time for erection has not been fixed either, and whether there will be any for nal ceremonies has not been de- termined
 'The plaque will be in the bank for some time. It is regarded as a work of art, and the public is invited to view it."

Slumber Mere Reversion
to Embryonic Status :?

Sleep. DR.. Emil Gutheil, noted Aus
trian psychiatrist, told the Washington
Psychological society. represented a
return to the condition OF the organ
Ism at various stages before birth
when there is perfect warmth, dark
ness and absence Of disturbing stimuli.
But, he pointed out. this embryonic
state itself Is very close TO the divId-
Ing line between death and life.
ut is curious paradox" he said,
that we spend one-third of our exist
ence vet unborn" Every hour of
sleep is just so much added TO the
state OF life before 1t energies into
conscious individuality.
The language OF dreams, Doctor
Gutheil said. Is the language OF pri-
mordIal men. It Is very similar sort
OF symbol language, he pointed ont, as
that which emerged from the long past
OF the race In the earliest writing and
was preserved in alphabets. such as
the Chinese, the Egyptian and the pic
ture writing OF some of the American
Indian tribes.
The extreme fear sometimes expert
enced In dreams, he declared. Is moth
ing more than fear of ourselves. the
inability to escape from the thing
feared, the seeming magic power thai
binds the victim of the nightmare, II
natural since It is impossible to es
cape from the self.
Doctor Gutheil warned against per
sons discussing their dreams too free
ly. The knowledge OF dream inter
probation now is widespread. he said
and persons are likely to give an un
fair picture OF themselves.

Unofficial Bird Census
Leaves Doubt in Mind

An unofficial census taker has been
on duty at fhe cathedral at kouen,
France. He reports that 1t has q bird
population OF loo permanent resi-
dents. There are 900 pigeons, $50 bats
90 hawks. 40 owls and 35 ravens.
On the whole, ii is q peaceful con-
gregation. but occasionally the ancient
enmlty between hawks and pigeons
breaks out and dead pigeon bearing
the marks OF battle Is sometimes found
in the cathedral.
1t would be interesting to know
how the statistican WAS able to make
an even approximately accurate count.
Field glasses. and perhaps a mechani-
cal counting device, may have helped
and a particularly lavish offering OF
food may have brought down all the
inhabitants from the topmost raffers
Even so. 1t would seem to require an
almost self-registering eve to count 9
flying population.-New York Times
