American trade worth, roundly, $750, 000,000 in 1930 and nearly $1,000,000,000 in the pre-cepression years of 1928 and 1929 is at stake in the prospective en- actment of the protective tariff system | in Great Britain Late London advices indicate that no comprehensive tariff schedules are likely ! to be formulated until 1932. Sooner or later next year, Washington authorities are convinced, the British government, under the domination of the Conserva- tive party, will go over to protection on & comprehensive scale It is not generally realized. in the United States that tariffs have been in vogue in the British Isles in varying de- gree during the past 10 or 11 years. John Bull has not turned his back com- pletely on free trade, but the ancient fiscal system to which he has clung for generaticns has been crumbling steadily since the World War. Ever since the late Joseph Chamberlain began pleading for a tariff 25 years ago, free trade has faced the cerfainty of disappearance. Last week's landslide victory of the Con- servatives in the British general elec- tion sounded the death knell of the eco- nomic school for which John Bright and Manchesicr stood. Some U. S. Exports Essential. The main items in the 1930 export of American wares to Great Britain, ag- gregating a value of $747.500,000 (com- pared to $917,000,000 in 1928-and $954,- 000,000 in 1929), were as follows: Petroleum products. +$100,000,000 Cotton ... . 94,000,000 Tobacco ...... Bacon, hams and I Wheat . Lumber ard. Flour and meal. . . Automcbiles and parts Fresh apples........ Canned meats and fish Motion pictures . 2,500,000 Not all of these American imports in Great Britain may be expected to be subjected to tariff duties. Cotton, for instance, our second heaviest export to the British market, will, in all proba- bility, not be affected. British textile manufacturers take from Dixie only the kind of cotton indispensable to them and of grades which they cannot get from India and Egypt. Nor will American petroleum products, especially lubricating oil, at present the largest Yankee import, prospectively be hit by a British tariff, because they represent supplies vitally’ necessary to the Brit- ish and which are not now obtainable through the Anglo-Persian and Royal Dutch Shell interests, which are strongly intrenched in the British market. Foods Would Be Hardest Hit. It is American foodstuffs at which new British tariffs undoubtedly will deal the hardest blows, including pork products, wheat, canned goods and fruits. Any sweeping tariff system to which the British resort is certain to comprehend “imperial preference.” This is the term first used by Joseph Cham- berlain and means that for such foreign imports as may be automatically em- | was eneyoute to Roanoke, Va., today, ., NOVEMBER 1, SLAYING CHARGED | IN COACH'S DEATH! Body of Grid Man Who l)iedl Aftee Linesman’s Blow I Taken to Roanoke. By the Associated Press. TAYLORSVILLE, N. C., October 31. —While the body of Ray R. Perdue, Statesville High School foot ball coach, arrangements were completed for a! hearing here November 7 for Garfield Jennings on a charge of manslaughter. The 24-year-old foot ball coach died yeste: & few minutes after Jen- nings, 22-year-old Taylorsville man, acting as head linesman in a game be- tween Taylorsville and Statesville, had struck Perdue a single blow on the head with ‘his fist. Assailant Under $5,000 Bond. Jennings is under $5,000 bond for his hearing before Justice of the Peace H. C. Payne. No inquest was held, for witnesses said the coach was calling from the side lines to the referee when Jennings, after passing a few inaudible remarks, struck the blow. . Perdue fell unconscious and was dead before he could be rushed to a hospital at Statesville. He died from concussion of the brain. Game and Schedule Called Off. After his injury the game was called off and Statesville High School today canceled the remaining games on its schedule. The team planned to attend in a body the coach’s funeral at Roanoke tomorrow. Perdue was native of Roanoke and was graduated from High Point College. This was his second teaching year at Statesville. During the Summer of 1930 he was sports editor of the High Point's Enterprise. Suspect Reveals Anger. Sheriff J. B. Robinett, who arrested Jennings, quoted him as saying he had not intended to injure Perdue, but was angry at his remarks, the substance of which the sheriff said he did not know. Several witnesses said Perdue had { his hands in his pocket when the blow was struck. Funeral services held here last night for the Virginian were attended many people, who crowded the chapel to hear several Statesville ministers eulogize the coach.

At her death, he explained, it passed into the hands of Lady Culpeper's daughter, who became the wife of Lord Fairfax. Later, the Lee family came into this section of Virginia and then the Washingtons, he recounted. George Washington, he continued, brought with him a great idea for a canal which would gird Great Falls on the Virginia side of the,Potomac. River, | and ope nthe upper Potomac River to' Commerce. Inlaunching the canal proj- | ect, traces.of .which still stand on the scbool’s property, Mr. Moore said Wash- | ington’s engineers founded a little town that since has faded from existence | and to that community was given the name of a woman—“Matildasvilie.” Thus, Mr. Moore showed, the very land upon’ which the Madeira School has been built possesses a strong feminine heritage. The dedication was begun Wwith an invocation and prayer by Rev. Robert made the building possible. In relating the story of the school's building, Mrs. Wing told of the efforts to raise suffi- cient funds for the project. Half of the required amount, she said, was pro- vided by the school's immediate friends and through the school's own efforts. The remainder was made possible by Eugene Meyer, governor of the Federal | Reserve Board, who she described as the | institution’s “foo modest benefactor.” The dedication exercises were held in the large drawing room of the main unit of the school. They were preceded by a buffet luncheon served out of doors in the quadrangle formed by the main hall, dining halls and dormitories. Earlier in the day the alumnae associa- tion had met at the school. The dedica- tion was attended by the students of the school and 75 graduates. Following the dedication the school held open house to a host of guests.who journeyed out the woodland road to pay tribute to the school's achievement. Eight hundred invitations had been sent to the school's friends. ‘The new school was completed at the close of the past Summer and was oc- cupied for the first time at the begin- ning of the present Fall term. Its opening was marked by the enrollment of 107 new students as compared, Mrs. Wing announced, with .about 50 new- comers who had enrolled on previous year openings. |SCHOOL BUILDINGS To Speak Here RELIEF SOCIETY HEAD WILL ADDRESS LUNCHEON. | H.

Canada and Australia could be drawn upon, too, for bacon, hams, lard, canned meats and canned fruits, which are at present being im- ported in enormous quantities from the United States. South Africa has been developing a copper industry, which the British have felt would enable them eventually to import all their needs from that do- minion. Our rich tobacco trade with Britain is fairly safe, because the Vir- ginia and Carolina blends, which John Bull smokes, are virtually irreplaceable. U. S. Builds Branch Factories. With the gradual advent of protec- tive tariffs in Great Britain, in one guise or another, since 1920, American manufacturers have recognized the | growing necessity of keeping their mar- ket over there by producing on the spot. That explains the branch fac- tories built on British soil by the Ford and General Motors, interests. Electric refrigerators also are being made in Great Britain by American factories. Manufacturers of shredded wheat are | fabricating it on the American pla: | British fatcories. Makers of office ap- jliances have set up their own works. British tariffs undoubtedly will mean more American branch factories in the United Kingdom. - The list of existing British tariff du- ties is a far longer one than Americans suspect. In 1920 nearly 18 per cent of all British imports were dutiable. Long before the war ‘“revenue tariffs” were imposed on liquors, tobaccos and sugars. Since then duties have been enacted on such items as preserved fruits, jams, dried friuts, cocoa and coffee. Duties Have Three Origins. The British have had three distinct motives in enacting gradual customs duties—to raise revenue, to promote empire preference and establish out- right protection, Protective tariffs for some time have been levied upon optical glass, scientific instruments, wireless tubes, tungsten and other rare earths used in steel alloys, vanadium and many chemicals. The rates on these so-called “key Industries” amount to 331-3 per cent. Practically the same rates have applied for a long time on imported motor cars, parts, accessories and tires, musical instruments, motion picture films, clocks and watches. There are -also British tariffs on silk jand rayon, gloves, wrapping paper, gas |mantles, chinaware, various grades of cutlery and some other articles. These latter are the so-called “safeguarding” tariffs to meet dumping and ‘“unfair competition.” British Recovery Sought. ough the United States is far and ¥ the cduntry from which John Bull t nmark, $239,000,000 from France, 1 $167,000.000 frem Russia and more than the British bought from Canada, Aus- tralia, New Zealand and South Africa combined—it is not considered at Wash- {ington that the main purpose of any | | British tariff system would be to strike at the United States. “Rather,” as the New York Herald Tribune points out, “the purpose womld be to redress the Anglo-American trade balance and restart British industry. | British protection might tread on our toes here and there, but if it succeeded in reviving prosperity in Great Britain, We would almost certainly be the gain- ers in the long run. Already consider- able British tariffs have been applied to imports without noticeably the United States.” (Copyright, 1931) _— Turkey Dinner in Lyon Park. ufi) The 1..¢N'su Clarendon Volunteer Fire De will serve a turkey dinner rtment Park Community House.
