LONDON, December 9.—"The United States imitates the British rubber scheme” is the Westminster (azette's opinion of that part of President Cool- idge’s message to Congress referring to having secured pledges for suffi cient funds to finance the storage and arrying of 4,000,000 bales of cotton. emembering Secretary Hoover’s in- dignation over the rubber restric tions,” the newspaper “London will chuckle over the President’s rec: ommendation.” It is contended by the Westminster Gazette that restriction in cotton acre. 8ge constitutes a menace to the strug- gling cotton industry of Great Britain. It quotes a member of the Federation of Master Cotton Spinners as saying that President Coolidge’s advice re garding a reduction of about one-third in the acreage for the coming year Wwill be received with great concern in Manchester, as it will mean higher prices all around and have a bad ef- fect on the world’s situation.

The election was the most dramatic this city of 125,000 has ever known, a complete antithesis to the dull, half- hearted turnout of voters which was expected until a week ago tc return Edward R. Hathaway to office vir- tually unopposed. Mr. Ashley’s sticker victory was believed due to his personal popularity and an educational advertising cam- paign by which his friends instructed the public in the use of stickers. Mr. Ashley’s election was entirely unex- pected by him. “It is wonderful! T didn’t think it possible to elect any man on stickers for mayor of a city the size of New Bedford,” he exclaimed when the first telephone message assured him of victory. As mes: confirmed message, he authorized daughter, Miss Hannah B. Ashley, constant companion at the hospital, to say.for him that he considered his election under such circumstances the greatest tribute that could be paid any citizen by his native city. Mr. Ashley virtually® retired from politics five yvears ago, declaring he lwad had enough.
