PAGE FLEVEN | POLITICAL ATS FOR DEPRESSION ARE WUCH VARIED High , Protection Held as Remedy by One Camp, Economic Union Theory by Others (Following is the last of a series of articles on the world economic situ- ation as seen by officials, diplomats observers in Washington). (By Ken Clark, Canadian Press Staff Correspondent) Washington, D.C, April 22 -- The 23.~8oviet cheap, labor hag ruined political attack on the world wide de- pression as seen trom Washington, has 'developed two diametrically op- pased "trends into the present pic- ture an entirely new factor repre- sented by Communist Russia. The first and most general reaction has been the emergence of economic South Carolina Avenue At the Boardwalk ATLANTIC CITY'S Newest Centrally Located Fireproof Hotel $5.00 DAY AND UP AMERICAN PLAN Write, Phone or Wire.

The second trend is to be seefi in the suggestioan put forward by Aris- tide Briand for an economic union of European nations and finds, outward- | ly least, definite expression in the re- cently announced customs union be- tween Germany and Austria. An eminent Canadian student of Europe- an affairs, lately in Washington, sug-! gested the agricultural states of mid- | dle Europe might be drawn into the Austro-German urion. Informed cir-! cles here consider there is a possi- bility France might eventually Join a Pan European union. thus bringing { to fruition, in a roundabout way, M, | Briand's plan, ! Schemes for British Intra-imperial | trade partake of both trends, it is| pointed out. : The new element contained in the present situation is the entrance into the market of a national corporatjon trading in competition with private enterprise, Whatever success or failure may attend the Soviet experi- ment, there is no doubt that in its bearing on the depression it comes to be regarded as a question of prim- ary importance in Washington as clsewhere. President Hoover, it is generally believed, would approve an embargo bn Russian trade although there is no indication this is in imme- diate prospect. Writing in the New Statesman and Nation, Michael Farh- ays, "It is obvious that we (the United Kingdom) have got to reckon with the probability of an embargo being placed in the near future upon some, if not all, Russian exports." While most of the nations of the world suffered a falling off in trade during 1930, the foreign trade of Ruse sia, according to 'the Department of Commerce, increased 17. per cent. Russia bought $£534,000,000 worth of goods and sold $501,000,000, The So- viets bought machinery of production to assist in bringing to completion the five-year industrial plan. They sold raw materials, placing quantities of oil, lumber, coal and wheat on the | tion, world market These commodities were produced, distributed, and sold by a single governmental corpora- having complete information as to the political, economic, and finan- cial needs of the entire Russian structure. It was possible temporar. ily to sell wheat, coal, or other com- modities at any price necessary to support foreign credits. The charge was made that these products were sold below the cost of production, a practice known as'dumping, and gen- erally frowned upon as tending to upset the economic balance of the world.

London brokers have advised local mills that as Russian timber, fly-wood and joinery is procurable in England at prices far below that imported from New Zealand, it is uselees for New Zea- land to send further supplies.

Apparently the chemicals c¢on- tain about the same substance as vitamin A, for the scientist ex- urated fats, iodine, iron and a number of other minerals.

Washington, D.C, Apr, 23.--~One | lonely old rooster on Martha's Vine- | | yard off the Massachusetts coast is {the only known heath hen alive. Of- [ficlals of the Bureau of Biological | Burvey said that they had given up hope of finding a mate for the lone jcock. After he is dead the heath hen will have gone the way of the wild pigeon. Thousands of dollars and much t'me and effort have been expended in an effort to keep the game bird from extinetion but it was the old tory of priming the pump after the | house brrned down. Early settlers {along the Atlantic coast found huge | | flocks of the heath hen--in size and | appearance much | prairies, chicken-- frequenting the lsandy, Scrubhoak plains of Massa chusetts, Connecticut, Long Island | New York and other coastal areca: | trom Maine to Virginia. | The cavaliers discovered that the | heath hen was excellent for roast- {ing on a spit before huge fireplaces. | Pilgrims who hunted turkey, or wild deer, without success brought home heath hens for Thanksgiving. The heath hen, however, was the pot hunter's prey. It flew in a straight line and rather slowly on flushing and it had an unfortunate habit of congregating in large flocks in open spaces. | New Colors For Cadillac, La Sale Detroit, April 23--Five additional combinations for the LaSalle are included among the new stand- ard production colors which the Ca- dillac Motor Car Co. has chosen for | its cars in Many, { The LaSalle has previously heen | offered in six combinations.

Some who enthusiastically commenced wheat farming and secured big ¢rops, have been ruined by the fall in grain prices. like the western! = from Australia exceeded arvivals by 9,688 and the exodus is growing each week, During the previous year arrivals exceeded departures by 10,733 persons. Another noticeable effect of the depression and the huge fall in Australia's national Income is the decrease of overseas tourist traffic from Aus- tralia. Shipping companies report that they are carrying thousands fewer tourists than in previous seasons, MANUFACTURERS SAIL FOR CANADA Mission Will Hold Series of Conferences With Can- adian Manufacturers London, April 25.-- British man. | of their | not boast sufficiently, accord- Lithgow, who, ufaeturers do achievements ing a James with his colleagues, Sir Arthur Buckham and Moir MacKenzie, comprised the small but important delegation from the Federation of British Industries.

C. Molesworth, | who has done considerable re- { search in semitic sources, to have occurred in the 17th day of Nisam, | very close to our own Easter Sun- day. lL In a recent speech before the Victoria Institute, Colonel Moles- 'worth said he deduced, because of references to dates appearing "n the Biblical account of the flpod, that Noah must have kept a log. "The narrative of the flood throws congiderable light on the calender in use in early times," he sald. Five specific dates are | | mentioned, as well as five periods | of time varying {rom seven to 150 | days. Such exact dating does not | again recur in the Bible for over | 10,000 yearg, until the exodus." | { Col, Molesworth said the period | of 150 days was mentioned as | {equivalent to five months and he | assumed the month was fixed at 30 days with dead reckoning utiliz- ed on days when it stormed. "The months had not yet been | named," he said, "and the system of recognizing them by numerals | was more widely used. However, | if we assume, with Josephus, the | months of Noah's life coincided | | with thoge of the calender year, | | the Ark was stranded on the 17th | i day of Nisam, or consequently, | very close to our Easter Day."
