Mir. Dewey Will Also Go West
(New York Times)


 Up to nobody has thought much about MT Deweys home town, but information will be spread upon the record very soon now. The District Attorney will leave for Owosso Mich to see his mother It just happens that county fair will be ln progress at the time, and naturally there must be Dewey Day. Furthermore this homecoming will hard ly be complete without speech. Even MT. Taft or MT Vandenberg would agree with that But politics must be eschewed. MT. Dewey (any other available man would do the same) will be glad to be back among old neighbors This may prompt some remarks that the greatness of the nation rests upon the little back home hamets and countrysdes (appauset but nothing of political nature mind you.
 Supporters from several States have indicated desire to see MT Dewey at OwoSso, and some may conceivably with desire to talk about something besides the county fair. They must be received pleasantly and they after leaving the front porch steps say that it has occurred to them that certain New Yorker would make very good President of the United States But while they in the presence the proper topic is the weather. This is what is called timing or avoiding the premature It is, of course, very effective theatre and fun for everybody.

SALMON AND CRAFTSMANSHIP

Recent developments in China have resulted in a strong anti-Japanese sentiment throughout Great Britain apparently accompanied by a widespread disposition avoid of Japanese products such as canned salmon which during the last several months has been reflected in much newspaper comment, as well as discussion in Parliament
 According to some reports it is thought that this agitation may result in action to require the compul- sory marking of all canned salmon sold in England with the country of origin: the present law requiring only that salmon from all other than Canada be labeled as Foreign Product" This of course does not permit the consumer to distinguish between goods of America, Japanese Russian origin although cans of Canadian salmon embossed Canada"
 The friction in China was no doubt responsible for the marked attention given by the British press in June to negotiations for the purchase by prominent English interests of about 100000 cases of Japanese salmon carried from 1938-a deal which in itself was nothing extraordinary. The papers seem to have suddenly become that great part of the salmon sold England has been of Japanese origin and have made much of it.
 The London Daily Telegraph of June 28 reports that Oliver Stanley president of the Board of Trade responding to questions in the House of Commons, said he considering the possibility of amending the law as to marking of foreign merchandise, and considering the views of various trade organiza- tions in the matter.
 Similar comment was contained in many other London papers about that time; and a London dis patch of July l2 carried in American papers, stated that British merchants demanding shipments of Canadian salmon in protest against the importation of the Japanese goods saying that demand for Cana dian salmon coming from thousands of custo- One merchant is quoted saying:
 Housewives used to come in and simply ask for can of salmon, but since they read the news about the purchase of Japanese salmon they have insisted on Canadian salmon"
 London salesman visiting Vancouver, who left London July declared the feeling there against Japa nese salmon is absolutely appalling" and that ad- vertising the British Columbia canners could have done would have done so much to popularize their product as has been done by the recent Japanese trouble. He felt the Canadians especially lucky in having required the embossing of Canada" on their tins and felt that the present feeling combined with the visit of the King and Queen to Canada and the United States should be worth much to the
