EXPECTING ASSURANCE FROM
ROOSEVELT u. S., EMERGING
FROM ITS WORST DEPRESSION
BULLETIN

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-(UP)
Supporters of William Bs.ikhead
for the position of majority floor
leader in the house of representa-
tives believed his position had
been clinched when the Pennsyl-
vania delegation voted to support
Bankhead. This break disrupted
the plans of the North and West
to keep the leadership from going
to the South.
I WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. (UP).
Three things stood out today on
the eve of the converting of the
74th congress.
The Presidents message to the
first New Deal congress is expect
ed to reassure lawmakers taht the
nation is emerging from an un-
precedented social and economic
depression.
Unemployment is the primary
administration concern. This in
wolves relief, tagging industrial
production and federal spending.
Joseph w. Byrns, Tenn, is as
sured of speakership of the house
following the caucus yesterday.
The North and West opposed
William Bankhead, Ala, as they
felt the South IS not entitled to
both that office and the position
of house majority leader.
A spectacular battle over the
bonus appeared inevitable as con-
flict lines were drawn between the
President and powerful political
organizations representing the
veterans. A small group is advls-
ing a compromise.
Senate Democrats today re-
elected Jos. T. Robinson as ma
jority leader.

The New Deal i'm Canada

Deal! There are hundreds Of millions
of dollars worth of goods EXCHANGED
between the two countries annually:
this trade may now be increased.
Barrier Holds.
American industry operating under
codes of fair competition has objected
to the importation of foreign goods
produced by labor receiving lower
wage than the N. r. A. minimum and
working longer hours than the N. r.
A. maximum. Mr.. Bennett declared
his opposition to policy of higher
wages and shorter hours for an ex-
porting country like Canada. Closer
trade relations with the United States,
therefore, seemed unlikely for some
time.
The situation has now changed. A
reciprocal trade treaty is under con-
sideration by both countries. It is in
accord with the policies of the Roose-
velt administration: 1t runs counter to
the traditions of the Conservative
party. Nevertheless. the circumstances
are opportune; the New Deal in both
countries may remove certain diff
culties. The effectiveness of the pro-
posed agreement will be determined
by the extent Of proteCtioniSt Senti-

ment In each country. In Canada 1t
appears that Mr.. Bennett proposes to
offer q trade agreement, based upon
lower tariffs, to the farmer in the
West; he offers his social legislation
primarily to the industrial worker in
the East.
Electorate to Decide.
It may be said with reasonable GER
tainty that Mr.. BENEFITS reforms
are going to be introduced, regardless
of immediate constitutional and inter-
national implications. No party will
oppose them in principle. The Lib
erals may urge broader measures. Mr..
Wordsworth may urge more funda-
mental changes.
It remains for the electorate to de-
termine whether the new program is
to be put into effect and administered
by Mr.. Bennett or by Mr.. King. The
continued severity of the depression
will undoubtedly influence their
judgment But whatever the decision
may be, the New Deal in Canada is
definitely on!

Garfield had issued this order.
On railroad life is either mo-
notonously dull or else overstuffed
with exciting events. One hour every
thing is clicking along like an un-
varying machine and the next is filled
with a confusion which only has
parallel in war.
Supt. Garfield awoke in the mid
die of the night to the ringing of
bells and the whistle of locomotives.
His room was Illuminated by a red
dish glare. From his window he could
see that the roundhouse was already
well ablaze.
Men and women were running to
the fire from all directions when he
got outside. Garfield became aware
of a man padding along beside him
and. turning his head, he saw it was
Dan Kearney. Together they came
to a small crowd which was rendering
first aid to an engineer who had been
overcome in an attempt to bring an
engine out.
The old wooden structure had
blazed so quickly that already it was
almost suicide to try to enter. Only
Angus McBain, in an old switch en-
gine, still attempted it.
"The old fool" muttered Garfield,
hes after the 706. She was put
back in the shop this morning."
Dan Kearney nodded his head in
silence.
The whole structure seemed to
lurch as the wind momentarily
whipped the flames to one side, re-
vealing the outline of a locomotive
in the doorway. It was stoppedl
Conductor Dan Kearney had started
rallroading as a fireman. He backed
the switch engine out, dragging along
the 706. He helped men to hand
down the unconscious body of Angus
McBain before he tottered and fell
himself.
Two weeks later Dan Kearney
limped into the room where Angus
McBain was still lying in bed. That
was an awkward meeting. The two
men did not have much to say to
each other But as he rose to leave
Dan remarked: Garfield was in to
see me this morning. He told me
that you're bidding in the Kalen
Valley freight job again, and he's
decided to leave the 706 on the run!"
The other man rolled over on his
side and q rough grin lightened his
features.

house, where engines Kissed and
clonked, and red sparks leaped upward
as the night staff Shoveled coal into
the fire boxes. When he came to the
7O6 he would stop and go over each
part of her before going to the Office
to report for duty.
Angus was not married man. The
only other emotion in his life was
his hatred of his skipper" Con-
ductor Dan Kearney. The younger
men on the road swore Dan was the
worst conductor on the system, but
the old-timers would shake their
heads.
"Dan," they would say, "ain't strong
on the rules and regulations and red
tape stuff, but wait till there's a
jam!"
That was the point of trouble. Dan
Kearney, big. lanky Irishman, with
merry blue eyes, a face battered and
marked from score of fights. and a
joke always on his lips, never took
anything seriously, not even his busi-
ness. Rules, said Dan, were made to
be broken. Angus McBain, Scot, short
of stature and truculent in manner,
had never Willingly broken a rule in
his life.
The stream of vituperation which
they poured on each other would
begin when Dan handed up the train
orders in the morning. 1t would
break forth intermittently during the
day when the men met in the course
of their business.
The annual grain rush had the
dispatchers harassed over car sup
plies and moving tonnage. They went
about, on duty and off duty, mumbling
to themselves about meets and de-
lays. When the operator at Basin,
in the bottom of Kalen Valley, clicked
through that McBain was in the Office
claiming that Kearney had the train
overloaded for "the hill," the first
trick dispatcher was terse, as an
oVerWorked man usually is.
"Tell him." he commanded, "that

and to follow ORDERS
McBain brought the 706 limping
into Kalen Junction four hours late.
He scrawled angrily in the work book,
gathered up his bag and, without
word, took himself into the night.
Dourly he found his way across the
yard to the superintendent's Office,
where a light was burning.
"Well, McBain," said the superin-
tendent, looking up from the papers
scattered about his desk, whats the
trouble?"

industry and shipping, a highly Or
ganized system of distribution, and
on top of all this a very deprecated
currency-these things give Japan
the upper hand. It is common
knowledge that Japanese labor is paid
the lowest wages of any important
industrial country, while her manu-
featuring is regimented to an extent
unheard of anywhere outside of Rus
sia and possibly Germany and Italy
Certainly Great Britain and the
United States offer no example which
approaches Japanese control of pri-
vate business. This being the case
they are in position to fix prices arbi-
trarily.
While prices in almost every othel
country have risen in the last veal
and half, japanese prices have re.
manned practically stationary. Ir
such countries as Chile, Peru, Ecuador
and Colombia price is the all-impor.

of ordinary merchandise. They are

Japanese Money Cheap.
Japanese money Is about the
cheapest in the world. Our depre.
citation of the dollar made it possible
for us to compete, to some extent at
least, with Great Britain and the
gold" countries, such as France and
Holland, but not with Japan.
In SO far as the Chilean and Peru
Wan markets are concerned, Japan
not only can undersell us, but she is
able to effect reciprocal exchanges OF
goods. Even tariff concessions would
do us no good in Chile. Chile has al

Fading Pan-American Trade

"For instance" he went on, zone
of our depositors is produce dealer,
the largest importer in the country.
Every year he has been buying from
100000 to 100000 worth Of North
American eggs. He came the other
day prepared to place $50,000 order,
expecting the bank to handle the
transaction. Although his balance in
Argentine currency was three times
that much, we had to tell him that
it couldn't be done. We couldn't ex-
change Argentine currency for that
much American money.
"a lumber dealer who banks with
us usually purchases an average OF
$250,000 worth of Washington and
Oregon lumber every year. This year
he has been able to buy only $25,-
900 worth. He has plenty of money,
and there is market for such lum-
ber all right, but he can't get dollars
with which to pay for it."
Existing Treaties Handicaps.
In many cases existing trade treaties
with other nations make it difficult for
us now to effect advantageous recipro-
cal arrangements, even where there is
willingness to discuss such measures
with us. Uruguay was long one OF
our important South American mar
kets for gasoline. oil and lumber.
Lately Russia has been able to effect
virtual exchange of commodities
with the Uruguayan government. and
this has practically eliminated us
from that field. The people of 1.-The
Purple Land" as William Henry Hud-
son was wont to call this tiny repub-
lie, use Russian gasoline in their au-
tomobileS and Russian lumber in their
buildings, where the comrades" in
Russia are wearing shoes and clothing
made from Uruguayan hides and wool.
The French have effected similar
arrangements with Chile, taking
nitrates from the Andes in return for
French manufactures and Chilean OBJ
legations to French bankers. Germany
has already given notice to the coffee
producing countries that she can no
longer buy coffee from them unless
they are willing to take the equiva-
lent in Nazi industrial manufactures.
In the case of Brazil, Colombia and
one or two other countries. we are in
a position to make similar demands or
agreements. However, it seems to be
the plan of the Washington Govern
ment to follow broader policy and
merely ask mutual tariff concessions
instead of demanding that other
parties to the agreement buy United
States products in the amount of our
purchases from them. Even if we
should follow the latter policy we
would lose out in such countries as
Argentina. Chile and Peru, because
we are able to buy comparatively little
from them.
Japan Holds Upper Hand.

the hurdles put in our pathway by
other competitors we should still be

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March o.
The misfortunes and suffering of man
have brought far more benefit to the
dog than man has ever received from
the dog in research, DR.. George Grille
of Cleveland said last night in an
address to a community health meet
ing.
THE development of biological and
medical sciences has been the result
OF experiments upon plant life and
animal life" said DR.. Grille.
1T should be borne in mind, also,
in considering the benefits derived
from animal experimentation that the
enormous number of cases of sickness
and death among the two billions Of
human beings always present on the
earth has actually contributed to the
welfare of the dog and other domestic
animals. For the result of study of
the cause of the diseases that affect
human beings, the domestic animals
also have benefited.
THE principles of preventive medi-
cine which are applied to man are as
effective when applied to dogs and
cats and horses by veterinarians"

able tariff treatment than she grants
to Japan.
Japan early learned the importance
of providing her own system Of dis
tribution In each country where she
attempts to do business.
Whenever certain producers-Brit-
ish, German or United States-have
gained a vogue. there is no hesitation
about using ingenious methods to
supplant them. Similar trade marks
are frequently used. This is a weapon
made easy by the poor trademark
laws which exist in most of the Latin
republics.
In order to introduce their own
products in a community or city,
japanese stores often sell similar we'll
known products-Say, tooth paste,
razor blades and silk hoSiery-at
greatly reduced rates. AS one Peru
Wan merchant puts it, "as soon as
customers become aware that the
japanese stores sell these products for
less than they can be bought else
where, the buyers become steady Gus
toners. Later, it is easy to switch
them to Japanese products, which sell
at still lower prices"

Buying Land for Production.

japanese companies are also buy
ing land, producing crops for export
to Japan. In addition to buying great
quantities of Peruvian long staple
cotton for shipment to Japan, they
produce and ship cotton of their own,
all of which is manufactured into cot
ton goods and returned to be sold to
Peruvian customers.

mental missions have recently visited
