NOME, Alaska, June 29 (#).—Prep- arations to greet Wiley Post and Harold Gatty, globe-girdling fiyers, were under way here today, with planes ready to take the air on their scheduled arrival in this vicinity and guide them to the landing field. A fog which settled in last night lim- ited visibility. Tents and beds were placed on the landing flelds. Fuel and cil also were essembled to aid the fiyers should they plan an immediate hop from here. 9,250 IMILES COMPLETED. Pair Hold Lead *on Schedule, With 5,750 Miles Left. KHABAROVSK. Siberia, June 29 () —Father Time gained several notches on Wiley Post and Harold Gatty today as they let a few precious hours slip by to have an auspicious moment for their take-off to Neme, Alaska—a 2.409-mile jump—the most difcuit part of the Temainder of their speed fiight around the world. The fiyers landed here at 2:30 pm yesterday (1:30 am. Eastern standard time after a 350-mile hop from Bla- goveshchensk. ~ They got the longest sleep they had had since leaving New York last Tuesday and inspected their monoplane Winnie Mae preparatory to tackling the dangerous stretch across the North Pacific. Storm Reported. The Winnie Mae was pronounced in perfect condition, and the fiyers first announced they would start at dawn today. Weather reports from Japan said, however, that a low-pressure area had formed in the Japan Sea and was moving in a northeasterly direction. The fiyers advanced the hour of their take-oT several times as the day wora on. ‘When they landed here they had cov- ered approximately 9.250 miles of their 15,000-mile globe-circling course in four days 21 hours and 34 minutes, and were well ahead of their schedule. which called for completion of the circuit in 10 day . Mishap at Blagoveshchensk. Post and Gatty experienced their first trouble in Siberia Saturday when, in Janding on_their 850-mile flight from Irku'sk to Blagoveshchensk, the Winnie Mae stopped in a mud hole. They worked throughout the night with horses and a tractor, losing 141z hours in pull- ing the plane out of the muck and get- ting under way again. A slight mechanical defect developed on the short flight from Blagove- shchensk to Khabarovsk. It was re- paired during the night by mechanics furnished by the Russian Aviation So- * ciety. On the route to Nome, Post and Gatty had the choice of two courses— either non-stop or a landing at Petro- paviovsk. on the tip of the Kamchatka Peninsula. They favored the non-stop flight, because a landing at Petro- pavlovsk would lengthen the hop by 200 miles, besides causing the loss of addi- tional time.

A single dot on a Department of Commerce trade chart dating back to 1860 marks the start of a hisloric mi- gration from the United States. That year a manufacturer of medicinal and pharmaceutical products stepped across the border and established a branch plant in Canada. Since then hundreds have followed him and the investments of United States g°ld in that country have climbed high into millions. ican money lubricating the wheels of industry in the border dominion &s in all the rest of the world combined. The industrial life there is a real cross section of that of the United States. This ccmmercial invasion of Canada predated by 13 years the introduction of the first American industry intc Europe. For some two-score years the movement was negligible: then it began to gain momentum, and though at times there have been recessions, the Jast 20 years—particularly the post- war era—have seen a never-ending migration that reached new heights in 1929 and 1930. Report by Secretary. The whole subject of American branch industry is treated in a report to the Senate by Secretary of Commerce Lamont. 1In ihis tie following conclu= sions were set down with regard to operations in Canada: The basic reason for development there rests in the fact that a branch plant, overcomes tariff barriers, not only in Canada, but in Great Britain and parts o1 the empire where Canadian products get preferential treatment. Linked with this are the factors of eliminating transportation difficulties | and of popularizing American products | by manufacturing them under the Ca nadian flag. The difference in wage levels is not | enough to be figured. | On the subject of American tariff this general observation: “Since the products of many of our branch factories abroad are American specialties, it is reasonable to assume {that in cases in which the foreign | tariff is the principal factor in the es- | tablishment of an American branch fac- tory & more flexible tariff policy on our et might in some instances have re- ieved the pressure by obtaining favor- | able tariff treatment foj the American | product. “Whether it would have proved ef- fective in the case cf new countries like certain British dominions where |a cardinal economic policy may be | doubted.” ‘What this branch pant development actually amounts to in dollars and cents is difficult to appraise. Its eco- nomic effect cn industries in the United States also is hard to ascertain defi- | nitely, partly because it has not pro- gressed far enough and partly because of the inherent technical difficulties, Secretary Lamont said. The report is valuable, however, as indicating a trend, he added. Manufacturers Questioned. ‘This report, compiled in response to a Senate resolution, took in all Ameri- can manufacturers who were ques- tioned on the extent of their foreign operations. It covered the status at the end of 1929 and showed 524 plants in Canada, with a value of $540593,000. The report excluded pulp and paper fac- tories, smelters and petroleum re- fineries. These were construed as being | not in competition with American in- dustry. but as owing their existence primarily to the superior raw material or power resources of Canada. To have included them would have added about 183 plants valued at $725,000,000. The branches and their value were set out roughly as follows: Metal prod- ucts, $88,000,000; motor vehicles, $69.- 000.000° machinery, $68,000.000; electric and phone equipment, $55.000,000; food- { stuffs, $53.000.000; lumber and prod- ncts. $51,000.000; rubber, $47.000,000: chemicals, $44.500,000; miscellaneous manufacturing, $38.500.000: textiles, in- cluding clothing, $19,000.000, and stone. clay and glass, $3,500,000. There was also an investment of $843,000 in leather products. These are the latest figures that the Department of Commerce has. 1In 1930, on the basis of an unofficial check on trade publications and other sources of ! information, the opinion is expressed that not more than 50 American jbranches were established in Canada. " This would be the same number in ‘11929, and would be tantamount to an increase in view pf the disturbed finan- cial conditions last year. Statistics in Conflict. In conflict with the statistics from the Commerce Department, are those submitted to the Canadian House of Commons recently by Premier Bennett, when the new Canadian tariff was under debate. Premier Bennett, entering a general discussion on foreign industry in Cana- da, said that on January 1, 1930—the Today there is nearly as much Amer- | is | the desire for industrial developments is | however, | I | NICETO ALCALA ZAMORA, Provisional President cf Spain, whose conservative Republican-Socialist bloc won a majority of the 470 deputies in | the Spanish elections.

Senor Zamora was badly beaten in Barcelona and {Zaragoza, but apparently won a seat |from the city Province of Jaen. | Other prominent candidates who won were: Former Minister of Finance Calvo Sotelo, Jose Sanchez Guerra, long-time monarchist opponent of Alfonso; Prof. Migel Unamuno, Senor Perez de Ayala, Ambassador to London: former Gov.

Interest in the balloting soared to a new high, and it was believed that the total vote cast constituted a record One thousand candidates, representing 24 parties, participated. One Deputy was elected for every 50,000 population in the 49 provinces. The Assembly is scheduled to convene July 14 and pro- ceed at once to write a new constitu- tion.

Nanking estimates that the enemy force cor=ists of 300,000 treops, equipped with machine-guns, but with only 120.- 000 rifles among them.

June 29 (P).— Arthur Hamilton Gibbs, widely known author and brother of Sir Philip Gl English author, was admitted to Uni States citizenship today. His wltnelufu were his wife, Mrs. Jeanette Phi : Gibbs, and her mother, Mrs. Clara Philips. Mrs. Gibbs is also an author. Gibbs was a native of England and came to America in 1919, after serving 1‘3 the British army during the World ar, me period covered by the ::pon,p—emm were 1,023 American “pranch, subsidiary and affiliated firms concerned with manufacturing or pro- duction” in the dominion. He placed the capital investment of these at $1,- 239,000,000. 1t Premier Bennett intended his statement to incorporate those concerns excluded from the Department of Com- merce report, the capitalizations items would run close together, but there still would be‘ll-wl':e discrepancy in the number of plants. Premier Bennett further said thi since August, 1930, there had been a marked increase in the number of con- cerns coming into Canada, and among these he listed 74 as of American origin. He grouped them as follows: Eight dealing in vegetable products, such as food and rubber; 2 in animal products, 8 in textiles, 8 in wood and paper, 20 in iron and steel, 12 in non-ferrous metals, 3 in non-metallic minerals, 9 in chemical and allied products, 2 mining and 2 miscellaneous. Under iron and steel were ineluded four automobile concerns, the nature of whose operations was not given, and one plant for truck assembling. Other Statistics Given. Still another set of statistics comes from a leading American trade publi- cation, which puts the number of United States branch industries going into Canada last year at 65. The average branch plant investment on the Department of erce chart, which is used as the basis for figuring, is about $1,000,000. Still using the de- partment figures, the total investment at the end of 1930 would have been about $600,000,000, and this would seem an absolute minimum. ’ - But whatever figures are used it is evident that the development itself is showing billion-dollar tendencies. QGetting Into the effect on American trade, one fact that stands out is that the market in the United States is not hit by importation of American-pro- duced from Canada. The movement is very small, and, as the Commerce report says, the Ameri- can tariff policy could be depended on to check further. such commerce if it threatened serious competition. Cus- tumarily the branch factory product sellsor the same price as the American product in the domestic market, it was inted out, “and, in some eomg‘l:nmls muneu, at s considerably enhanced ce.” prt (Copyright, 1931.)

At the home of Lord Mountbatten it was merely said that Alfonso was “in the country for a few days.” It is known that Alfonso is contem- lating a hurried trip to Fontainebleau, gflnce. after which he will return to England with Queen Victoria.

He had lost but one set in his previous four matches | and that to the Briton, H. F. David. All his other matches were easy straight-set victories. Games followed service through the first, eight games, with Shields still wild, only his terrific service pulling him through. The American should have won the eighth game, but he jumped high to drive into the net a ball that would have been far out and this re. prieve heartened Austin to go ahead and win the game. Shields also should have won the ninth. again going after bad balls. The tenth game was a long deuced affair, with first Austin and then Shields holding the advantage, the American finally winning, to make it 5-all in games, with a fine placement, Just on the base line. After being seemingly doomed to de- feat, Shields came back and at the finish was running all over his more stylish but less sturdy opponent. Austin looked like a winner until the tall American steadied his erratic play when the score was 5—4 against him in the fourth set, dueced that set, then won 1t and biasted the Englishman off the court in the final, to win 6—1 and three sets to two.

Brenckman, Washington repre- sentative of the Grange, said today studies of the situation are now under way and the debenture will be pushed in the next Congress. “Not as a subsidy to farmers,” he added, “but as a complement to the tariff act.” Decree Expected by July 1. President Hoover suggested to the | Farm Board Saturday that it consider A more definite policy than the one now in effect, and the board has prom- ised an answer by July 1. The board would be justified in m ing a year's pledge, Brenckman said, adding undoubtedly prices would be improved. “The fact that this surplus is in ex- istence,” he said, “demonstrates that the debenture plan is by far the best. Under that system the wheat would have been moved out of the country at A cost of $63.000.000, whereas the Gov- ernment now stands to lose much more.” Urges New Markets. He advocated examining the world situation, particularly China, for new markets. A loan to China, by which it could buy the stabilization wheat for its starving probably would be the solu- tion, he added. The board has undertaken a survey of the foreign and domestic outlook. From this review, Chairman Stone said the board will decide whether to adhere to its present policy or-pledge retenticn of the 200,000,000 or more bushels of wheat from domestic markets for a fixed pe- riod, probably a year.
