20 o U.S. TRADE DROPS INNEWFOUNDLAND Increasing Demand Noted for | American Goods, Sir Rich- | ard Squires Says. { Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, March 29.—Commercial relations between the United States and Newfoundland should be marked by a steady expansion in the near future, ac- | cording to Sir Squires, prime minister of Newfound- Jand, who, with Lady Squires, recently passed a few days here, During the World War the United States gained first place in the import trade of Newfoundland, but by 1925, owing to the commercial activities of Canada and England—the other chief sovrces of supply of products for con- E on in the island—the United States had dropped to third place. Since goods from this country are ad- mitted to Newfoundland on an equal| tarif b with those from Canada and ' England, it is felt that this oldest of | Engiand’s colonies offers a market well worth cultivating by the United States producer. Istand Important Market. Newfoundland’s premict, however, pointed out that with an annual trade of approximately $60,000,000, with easy and regular connections with the out- side world, both by rail and by steamer, and with a constantly rising standard of living to industrial expansion, the people of the island constituted a steadily growing market for American goods. Sir Richard called attention to the fact that already the United States was setting the fashion in clothes for St. John's, the capital of the island, and for the smaller towns and outlying dis- tricts. The number of native Newfound- landers in this country is one-fourth as great as the total on the island, Sir Richard said. They are residents chief- ly of Boston and New York, owing to the fact that these cities are steam- ship terminals. Many Newfoundland young women have entered the nurs- ing profession in this country and their Richard _Anderson Sl THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. D. C. FRIDAY.

Every road is so designed as to open up to view the scenic beauties of the island and each one leads to some village whence may be seen a vista of the ocean or some sheet of blue water. American radio sets have been a boon to Newfoundland fisherfolk and thousands of dollars’ worth of electri- cal equipment have gone from this country to equip hydroelectric plants | and for domestic purposes. The American manufacturer of paints might do well to expand his market in Newfoundland, it is pointed out. The fishermen demand paint for their boats as well as for their houses, which are principally frame structures, and they have shown a preference for American aint. v Foodstuffs may be ranked as the most important item of imports from the ed States, though their total value is not the greatest. Owing to the short Summer, vegetables and fruits arc grown only in limited quantities. There | are no orchards, though some apples are raised. Strawberries, raspberries and gooseberries are grown in limited amounts. Potatoes, turnips and cab- bages are the principal vegetables. Most of these things are produced on home acres and in quantity sufficient only for | are operating a pulp and paper plant having a daily output of 350 tons and another plant on the west coast pro- duces 400 tons daily. Some of this finds its way to the Unlted States. Mineral resources offer an investment field for American capital, it is de- clared. The Wabana mines, on the east coast, are estimated to contain from 2,000,000 to 3,500,000 tons of re- coverable iron ore. Mining operations there extend for more than a mile from shore and are said to be 1.000 feet be- low the ocean floor. Deposits of copper, limestone, silver-bearing lead ores, siate and gypsum are awaiting capital and improved working methods to be more profitable. Sir Richard Squires is the leader of the Uhe“lg rty in Newfoundland. He came into office with the victory of that party at the polls last November, when it carried 29 of the 40 seats in the House of Assembly. Breaking Rain Record.

PRISONER WHO CREATED BUSINESS IN CELL FREED Governor Pardons Slayer Serving 20-Year Sentence—Had Insisted He Was Innccent. By the Assoclated Press. HARRISBURG, Pa, March 29.—Gov. Fisher today pardoned Jacob Forbs of Philadelphia, who was serving a 20-year sentence for murder in the second de- gree. Forbs was associated with Lewis Edwards, recently granted his freedom, in the manufacture of ship models in the Eastern Penitentiary. Their work attracted such wide at- tention, and their sales were so large that they were forced to move the little manufacturing shop out of the prison. Edwards’ mother now is conducting the business in Philadelphia, where several former convicts are employed. Forbs was convicted of killing a man in a saloon fight in 1922, but always has maintained his innocence. Col. John C. Groome, former warden of the Eastern Penitentiary, was among those | who recommended that he be freed. e g San Miguel, in the Pearl Islands, is reported to have been destroyed by fire recently. “At Seventh and K””—Washington’s Pcpular Shopping Center——— Spring’s Leading ! tion, Sir Edward declared, rests also the | efficiency is said to be such that there is an established demand for their services in that field.

They are especially competent as riggers, owing to_their home training on boats. ‘The attention paid by the Newfound- land government to the building of One More Shopping Day Before Easter!
