Canadian trade Is swinging slightly
toward empire countries, according
to statistics compiled since the Imperial
conference took place at Ottawa this
Summer. Canada is buying more from
Great Britain and her sister. dominions
since the conference, and she is also
selling somewhat more in those markets,
but Canada still remains Uncle Sans
best customer Just as the United States
Is still the Domtnion's chief client There
has been no sudden swing in Canadian
trade from the United States to the
countries of the British Empire Tar
Ills and empire preferences have not
stopped the flow Of merchandise across
the worlds. only undefended interna-
tional boundary.
The swing Of trade toward empire
counties Is not altogether due to the
arrangements made at the Imperial
Conference. 1t has been growing slowly
during the past few years, following
high tariff walls set up by both the
United States and Canada. 1t is In q
large measure due also to preferences
given imports from foreign countries
which use Canadian ports and Canadian
shipping. Where formerly much Of the
imports destined for Canada were
shipped via United States ports, there
TO be reshipped to Canada, direct
shipping has cut down the figures of
imports from the United States. SINH
larly exports are now travelling more
through Canadian ports than formerly,
and with the recent ruling of the
British government that wheat must
be shipped direct from Canada to the
United Kingdom to gain the empire

business which showed as exports to
the United States in Canada's trade
ledgers.
New Shipping Service.
Direct shipping of Canadian imports
and exports was strengthened recently
With the opening of a Canada East
Indies shipping service. That this serv-
ice Is important is shown IN the fact
that practically all canned pineapples
sold In Canada today come from Aus
.tralia or the Strait Settlements. while
formerly the bulk of the pineapples
came from Hawaiian canneries. The
Dominion expects to build I'D a big
trade in the East Indies with this d.

Film Memoirs i'm Modern Library
Draw Literary Fire in England

LONDON.-If the Duke of Suther-
land Is right, the library shelf of the
future will have to accommodate
memoirs in celluloid movie" records
OF the lives Of the great and the near
great. For m a prophesying moment
when speaking as president of the
Institute Of Amateur Photographers
here, he suggested that the memoir of
the future would take the form of a
film. "A Photographic record is much
more graphic to look back on than
anything written in the past" he as
serted. "A cinematograph record of a
mans life Will be infinitely more
interesting"
But the dukes countrymen are not
all captivated with such prospect, or
ready to acknowledge the superior in
terest OF the film record over the writ
ten and printed one. 1t is argued.
for instance, that from the pictorial
standpoint the lives of many great men
are drab affairs indeed. Rulers, states
men. politicians and big game hunters
or explorers might, 1t Is contended, pro-
vide highly entertaining diversions
through the film memoir medium. but
how about the eminent physicist or
man OF letters who led the Life Of a
recluse?
1t Is granted by these doubters that
an exceedingly interesting film memoir
OF King George. and the Prince OF
Wales IN particular, could be marshaled.
But would such quiet-living individual
as Sir James Barrie be adequately rep
resented by fllm memoir? It Is doubt
ful whether George Bernard Shaw, not
exactly camera-shy person, would be
content TO leave posterity film memoir
only.
There are many more individuals who
would prefer to hear what he has to
say about the merits Of yegetarianism
than those who would care to see a
movie Of him munching vegetable re-
past. 1t Is also pointed out that the
success Of this medium presupposes q
tolerance OF the cameras eye on the

Canadian Trade Turns Empirewards,
But Remains Best II. S. Customer

from these countries through the United
States
Every month since the Imperial Con-
ference has seen an increase In i'm
ports from Great Britain and empire
countries, while exports to those coun-
tries has also increased. Wheat has
been the principal export, while imports
include such commodities as coal which
used to be brought practically exclu-
sively from the United States. Now
British coal is becoming popular in
Canada, an increase of so per cent
being shown for 1882 over the pre-
vious year. British -four mills are re-
ported to be using the highest per-
centage of Canadian hard wheat in
their -four in years.
In addition to the treaties made at
Ottawa. preliminary trade treaties were
made between Canada and New Zea-
land and Australia, and the results Of
these treaties Is shown in greater trade
between these dominions. Canadian
exports to Australia were nearly doubled
this year. At the same time Australia
amended its tariffs following the con-
ference, lowering them considerably, in
some cases as much as 10 per cent, to
empire countries.
Trend Expected to Grow.
While only short time has elapsed
since the conference took place, this
slight trend in trade toward the en-
pire may grow as the effects of the
treaties become more apparent And
while on the surface United States fac
tories appear to be the losers, a large
slice Of the trade which begun to flow
between empire countries consists of
goods manufactured in Canada by the
branch plants Of American industries.
The number of these plants has grown
greatly in the past few years not only
in Canada but also in the United King
dom. An example of this is the auto
mobile business, the exports of which
to British Empire countries is practi-
cally entirely carried out from Canadian
branch plants, or those In England.
One OF the interesting exports from
Canada to Great Britain which has
increased enormously since British pref
erential tariffs were instituted by Eng
land Is that of tobacco. Formerly the
bulk Of the tobacco imported in Eng
land was from the United States. The
tobacco exports Of Canada have nearly
doubled in the past year as a result
OF the Imperial tariffs, and 1t is re-
ported that manufacturers in England
consider the Canadian tobacco nearly
as good as that from Virginia or the
two CarOiinaS

Il more and more deeply into the
diplomatic doldruns.
This situation Is due to the impress
sion created in all foreign chancellories
that American policy Is paralyzed until

tween President Hoover and President

completely discredited President Hoover

Experts indeed are meeting at Geneva
to prepare the world economic confer

to have admitted privately that their
mandate Is wholly from President
Hoover and not at, all from. President
elect Roosevelt, their influence ap-
parently is being discounted.
American embassies are marking
time. Negotiations which were under

have stopped short.
At the same time, various Americans
claiming to- be intimate friends" or
~private representatives" of President
elect Roosevelt are going about Europe
having confidential talks with foreign
statesmen and politicians. The i'm
preston foreigners gain from these
talks Is that President-elect Roosevelt
would bitterly resent any further
European, negotiations with President
Hoover, because he himself wants to

BY HARRY J. ANSLINGER,

" NACTMENT of the Harrison mar
- cotic law dealt paralyzing blow
to the illicit drug traffic. ano
IL since that time the United
States Government has fought
constantly to eliminate the evil entirely
through effective international contro
of the production of drugs. But while
the Government has been cutting the
roots of this vicious traffic. its suppress
sion in this country has been tremen-
dously handicapped by conflicting ano
inadequate State laws. There also has
been a tendency on the part of most
States to let the Federal Government
take the full responsibility of enforcing
the anti-narcotic laws, all of which
has created an absurd situation, provid-
ing loop holes through which the drug
peddler easily slips. And it is the
peddler, this species Of human vermin
preying on the weakness of his fellow
men, who must be crushed out in the
final solution of this grave problem.
Designed Against Opium.
The laws In many States were passed
before the enactment of any Federal
statute and were designed primarily TO
eradicate the evils of opium smoking
and opium dens. They have proved in
enectual in combating the Illegal traf-
nc in the more fashionable drugs that
has sprung up since After the Govern
ment acted, some States did pass laws
covering other narcotics, but so little
knowledge of the problem was possessed
by the drafters that a hodge-podge OF
laws was the result. Ill-advised as
most OF them were, however, there was
a genuine effort on the part of most
States to enforce them to the limit until
1914, when the Harrison act became
effective. Then came the tendency to
Shift the responsibility to the Federal
Government.
The primary purpose of the Harri-
son act was to create and protect reve-
nueS Tor the United States, although
the act has been construed by the Su-
preme Court as having a moral purpose
also. 1t was contemplated that the
States would accept and discharge the
responsibility Of investigating, detecting
and preventing or Furnishing the local
retail Illicit traffic conducted by the
ordinary peddler, and the institutional
cure and treatment of drug addicts,
This, however, did not prove to be the
case. Notwithstanding the limited
power OF the Federal Government, State
offlcers Immediately became imbued
with the erroneous impression that the
problem OF preventing the abuse of mar
cotlc drugs was exclusively that OF the
National Government, and that the
feoeral law alone, enforced OF course
by Federal agencies only, would repre-
sent all the control necessary over the
Illicit drug traffic.
This attitude on the part Of the
States has resulted in an anomalous
situation. The public prints from day
to day bring news of number OF
banks that have been robbed by an or
ganized gang; details of kidnapings and
OF gambling rackets; and articles con-
cerning the operations of lone bandit
who has held up number Of stores and
citizens. What is the result? Editorials
criticize the police and ciamorous de-
mands are made calling upon them 70

apprehend these menaces to the COM
munity well-being. The police, ever ac-
tive, are stirred to greater activity. The
man-hunt is on.
No one suggests that this is anything
but State problem. The person who
would suggest that the Federal authori-
ties be called upon to come into the
State and catch this hold-up man would
be ridiculous.
But in the same community, the in
sidiouS, despicable drug peddler, carry
ing on his nefarious work of unlawfully
taking away not only the property, but
the peace Of mind, the morals, the
health of the citizens and undermining
| the general welfare of the community
what of him? All, that Is different In
spite of the fact that the sole right to
punish such criminals, under certain
circumstances, lies only within the po-
lice power of the State; despite the fact
that 1t was never contemplated that
such activities should be dealt with by
the National Government, enforcement
officers as well as legislators in a num-
ber Of States have decided that Uncle
Sam" Is the proper person to cope with
this particular menace to the COM
munity.
This Illogical attitude has not only
prevented the passage of adequate laws
which would be of inestimable benefit
to the States own citizens. but has re-
suited, in number of States in an al
most complete failure to enforce the
laws already on their statute books.
The dcckets Of the Federal courts
have necessarily become flooded with
cases of minor character which should
have been handled in the State courts,
but which were not thus handled either
from lack OF adequate laws or for rea-
sons put forth solely because the duties
and responsibilities appear burdensome,
expensive or distasteful, resulting in a
slowing up of the prompt and orderly
process of justice In major cases.
And what Is the result of this delay
ing of trials in the Federal courts? In
many instances, if plea OF not guilty
is entered, the case Is continued from
term to term because of the congestion,
and is finally dismissed on account of
the unavailability of witnesses or the
unknown whereabouts of the defendant
If the defendant does plead guilty, he
Is often accorded so much consideration
that fine or short sentence Is i'm
posed, and he Immediately resumes his
illegal activities.
Yet in the States where the laws are
adequate and where enforcement Is rea-
sonably rigid, the defendants in such
cases would have been tried within q
few days of the commission of the Of
fense. and, where guilt is established,
Immediately sentenced to the States
prison.
Illustrations Cited.
To cite a few illustrations Of this
absurd situation, which also reveal how
easy it is for the dope trafficker to evade
the law:
In New Hampshire, the illicit posses
sion Of narcotics Is only an offense
when intent to sell exists, which usu-
ally cannot be proved.
In Virginia, the sale Of cocaine Is a
felony; the sale Of morphine Is only q
misdemeanor.

After you have made an honest
effort to reassure ner as to your
love, you must gently point out the
causes for her nistrust, explaining
that they arise from her own inner
conviction of insignif1cance rather
than from anything you do.
She is partly right in her belief
that off-color talk between men and
women has a sexual significance.
Freud has compared the lewd joke
to an indirect method of stripping
another person in public. The orig
inal aim is inhibited. Talking about
it, then, is the next best thing.
However, any sensible woman will
realize that this roundabout method
of airing secret desires is tS be
found throughout the whole of life
Close study will reveal the same
mechanism in her own makeup. So
long as the aim is neatly inhibited
nobody comes to grief.
Direct sexual outlet has been Xix
ened to the short circuit in cleo
tricity. If the short circuit is cut
off, electricity can be made to light
the whole house, run the vacuum
cleaner, washing machine, refriger-
ator, percOlater, fan and whatnot.
Sexual energy, when cut off from
the short circuit, finds its power re-
leased for brilliant conversations
barrels of bright ideas. witty wise
cracks, and coolies of charm. After
all, what is there to worry about in
it? Wouldn't the world be ever sc
much duller without sex on the long
circuit2
