" plan is designed to prevent such incidents.
 The City of Flint was bound for British ports with cargo of grain and machinery.
 Senator Schwellenbach said: This incident demonstrates the need for speedy installment of the cash and carry principle in our neutrality relations. I hope opponents of the Pittman Bill will not disregard this warning, by moving with Senators Clark and Nye--who yesterday con- sumed the whole afternoon rehears- ing speeches already made. This is no time for filibuster."
 Members of the isolationist group answered that the Administration is to blame for the lack of cash carry law. Republican Senator To- bey of New Hampshire, pointed out that isolationists favored splitting the bill into two parts to speed pas sage of the cash and carry part, and debate the more controversial embargo at leisure Said Tobey: The Administration could have had a cash and carry law week ago.

BRILLIANT BALLET SPACED BY STAR IN
 COLISEUM PICTURE

In their search for colorful ball. let to climax the skating numbers in her current 20th Century-Fox picture, My Lucky Star" ending to- night at the Coliseum Theatre, Son. ia Henie and her dance director, Harry Losee, turned happily to one of the most beloved story book clas- sics of all time -- Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland"
 The ballet is worked into the story of My Lucky Star" as part of a gigantic ice carnival which Sonia stages for a big department store. Contrasting with the brilliant cos tunes of the skaters is the formal wear of several hundred extras who appear as fashionable specta- tors. Even during rehearsals, the extras loudly applauded each scene, as did the scores of stars and studio workers who took time off from other pictures to come and watch the ballet.
 My Lucky Star finds Richard Greene sharing top honors with Sonia. The cast includes Joan Davis, Cesar Romero, Buddy Ebsen, Arthur Preacher, George Barbier, Louise Hovick, Billy Gilbert, Patricia Wilder and Paul Hurst

WALTER WANGER FILM IS ENDING
 AT LOCAL SHOW
Trade Winds Seen for Last Times Tonight at
 Capitol Theatre

The story Trade Winds, which ends tonight at the Capitol Theatre, abounds in cracking dialogue, swift ly moving drama, tense situations and rich good humor Garnett's di- rection of the superbly chosen cast, headed by March and Miss Bennett, leaves nothing to be desired. Ann Sothern and Ralph Bellamy, play ing the second romantic leads, con- tribute excellent comedy scenes, with minor roles handled capably by Sid- ney Blackmer, Thomas Mitchell Gloria Youngblood, Linda Winters and Lotus Liu.
 The authors of the screen story Dorothy Parker, Alan Campbell and Frank R. Adams-have filled their script with well-drawn, down. to-earth characters. scenes of nov ing and tense emotion, dialogue that is fresh and crisp, humor that is rich and unforgettable.
 Joan Bennett, who appears for the first time in her screen career as brunette, turns in one of her finest performances, while March's portrayal of a sleuth with a weak ness for the fair sex adds another memorable chapter of fine acting to screen annals. It must also be said that dark wig has added considerable mystery and allure to the already beautiful Miss Ben- nett, and note of further glamour is provided by the lovely gowns which Irene designed for tn e actress.

that this growth in export of other canned fish items is an indication of some of the factors which are expected to modify export demand for canned salmon.
 The development of other cheap protein foods, including other canned fish items will modify the demand for canned salmon, the report anticipates.
 The apparent increase in amount of Japanese canned salmon which sells in the export market at low prices will also have an effect on the export of American salmon, it is expected.
 No Demand Yet
 The industry analysis points out that as yet, no important export demand for American canned sal mon has developed as a result of the war. l
 Actually, war conditions and un- certainties have reduced the ex- port business in canned salmon.
 However, with the Allied powers preparing for a long war the need for large quantities of low cost protein foods for the armies and the civilian populations will prob ably bring some increase in the export of American canned sal mon, although it is doubtful if the volume will approach the quan- titles exported in 1916 and 1917, the report concludes.

 To a puzzled congressman, there is no sure way to guess which way the change may come. The polls say sentiment is. one way and the mail says another.
 It is true that the House passed a neutrality bill last session con- taining the arms embargo repeal, but the newly written bill must come back to 1t in some form, as it is vastly changed from the shape in which the House passed it.

SALMON DEMAND IN WARTIME 10
 INCREASE, VIEW
Industry Survey Compares Present Market with
 19t4-t8 Condition

While many factors affecting the export of canned salmon to nations now at war are very different than they were at the time of the last war, review of U. s. export fig ures during the 1914-1918 period indicates high potential demand for canned fish by the warning countries if the European conflict continues for a long period, an analysis issued by the Canned Salmon Industry reveals.
 The analysis is based upon a tabulation issued by the foodStuffs division of the U. s. Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
 This tabulation shows that for the fiscal years ending June 30, the U. s. exported 1,828,0Oo cases of canned salmon in 1914; 1,748,- 900 in 1915; 3,186,OOO in 1916; g. 458,OO0 in 1917; and 2,293,000 in 1918.
 Britain's Big Market
 During these years exports of canned salmon to Great Britain totaled 1,304,000 cases in 1914; l. 296,O00 in 1915; 2,294,0OO in 1916; 1.585O0 in 1917; and .9a5OO0 in 1918.
 The above figures do not in clude shipments for use of the American army in Europe.
 Contrasting with these figures is the relatively small volume of canned salmon exports during 1888.
 Last year the United States ex- ported a total of 762,620 cases of canned salmon, of which 594,881 cases went to Great Britain.
 Canada, which took 254,000 cases of U. S. canned salmon in 1918. imported only 1927 cases last year.
 Happened in Last War
 During the last war, the govern ment compilation shows that ex- ports of all other canned fish (ex- .cept shellfish) mounted rapidly.
 In 1914, the U. s. exported 119,- 900 pounds of canned fish other than salmon. In 1915 this item was 246,0O0; in 1916 it increased to 676,- GOO. For 1917 the volume was l. 5S6000 pounds and in 1913, it was 6,954,000 pounds.
