Wellington, 1011 SEATTLE REF NTATIVE—Gilbert American Bank B SALMON \‘\l) ST/ \Thb\l ANSHIP Recent developments in China have resulted in a strong anti-Japanese sentiment throughout Great Britain, apparently accompanied by widespread disposition to avoid use of Japanese products such as last several months comment, as a canned salmon, which during the has been reflecied in much newspaper well as discussion in Parliaament. 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 sources other than Canada be labeled as “Foreign Product.” This, of course, does not permit the consumer to distinguish between goods of America, Japanese or Russian origin, although cans of Canadian salmon are 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 700,000 cases of Japanese salmon carried over from 1938—a deal which in itself was nothing extraordinary. The papers seem to have suddenly become aware that a great part of the salmon sold in 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 was considering the possibility of amending the law as to marking of foreign merchandise, and was 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 12, carried in American papers, stated that British merchants were demanding shipments of Canadian salmon in protest against the importation of the Japanese goods, saying that demand for Cana- dian salmon was coming from thousands of custo- mers. One merchant is quoted as saying: “Housewives used to come in and simply ask for a can of salmon, but since they read the news about the purchase of Japanese salmon they have insisted on Canadian salmon.” A London salesman visiting Vancouver, who left London July 8, declared the feeling there against Japa- nese salmon is “absolutely appalling,” and that no 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 were 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 DIES AFTER DIPLOMATS IN EARNEST ard Hiram Evans, ed in the deal.

Mayokok and their brood went ‘lhrquh Juneau early last spring enroute to the big show. Their press notices have included pictures in most of the big Eastern dailies and they have inspired the following editorial in the New York Times: “The Eskimos at the World's Fair say they are getting used to American food ‘completely but slowly Large numbers of us can say the same thing, although we have been at the American larder all our lives and thus have a head:start over the Eskimos. “In August, for example, we are completely accus- | tomed to the time-honored native meal of fried clams, | sweet corn on the cob and sliced fresh peaches with It is a national institution of ours and one to which we are entirely devoted. Yet we are painfully | slow in becoming inured to it. Year after year we | attack it with gusto and confidence, only to discover | that we lack the experience necessary to cope with it successfully. We need further habituation. “In the still watehes of the night, as we toss and throb and flop, as we fall screaming out of airplanes. lug ton weights up interminable staircases and flee on leaden feet from furious wild beasts, we can sym- pathize with those Eskimos. Not even Americans are Americanized in a jiffy.” | cream. r. Dewey Will Also Go West (New York Times) Up to now nobody has thought much about Mr. Dew: home town, but some information will be spread upon the record very soon now. The District Attorney will leave soon for Owosso, Mich., to see his mother. It just happens that a county fair will be in progress at the time, and naturally there must be a Dewey Day. Furthermore, this homecoming will hard- ly be complete without a speech. Even Mr. Taft or Mr. Vandenberg would agree with that. But politics must be eschewed. Mr. Dewey (any other * ‘available” | man would do the same) will be #lad to be back among old neighbors, This may prompt some remarks that the greatness of the nation rests upon the little back- home hamlets and countrysides (applause) but nothing of a political nature, mind you. Supporters from several States have indicated a desire to see Mr. Dewey at Owosso, and some may conceivably come with a desire to talk about something besides the county fair. They must be received pleasantly, and they may after leaving the front porch steps say that it has occurred to them that a certain New Yorker would make a very good President of the United States. But while they are 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. The World of Tomorrow Bows to the World of Today (Philadelphia Record) Amid the dioramas, futuramas, heliclines and streamlines of the “World of Tomorrow” there creep strange, almost alien, figures. One turns out to be a champion steer, and over in the shadow of the peri- sphere one finds a public wedding, motorcycle dare- devils, name bands for the jitterbugs of today. And in the fall there’s to be a “Farm Week," with a hog-calling contest, pie-baking contest and horse- shoe pitching. All these strangers in the World of Tomorrow have been hauled in by Grover Whalen, to drum up business. And the phenomenon is, in a sense, keenly indicative of the contrary world in which we live. Here was a city of the future, all fixed up. Amuse- ments of the future, even strip teasers of the future in the surrealism of Dali. Super-this and super-that. Vodor, manufactured lightning, magic on every hand. . . . But there still isn't any substitute, at least in Whalen's opinion, for the standbys of the World of Today—and Yesterday. Miracles of tomorrow may inspire awe and wonder, but the fun of today—is still fun. A Fair's a Fair for a’ that. A Covington official is reported to be interested in bringing about quieter political campaigns, a project which has our enthusiastic approval down to the point where it might turn them into whispering campaigns. The Nazis have banned whipped cream in Sude- tenland. It must be awful not to have whipped cream to pour on your mess of pottage, after having traded your birthright for it. That woman who wanted to trade her marriage license for a hunting license after the groom failed to show up for the wedding evidently believes in doing everything strictly according to law.
