EDITORIAL EADERS of industry on two ‘continents were gathering at The Olympic Hotel today for the opening of the 12th National Foreign Trade conven- tion, opening Wednesday. It’s the biggest gathering of its kind in the world. “Building world trade” is one of the phrases about the lobbies. ‘Expansion of ‘foreign markets for American products” is another. “Opportunities for American goods in the Orient” 1s a third. But it all boils down to— More work country! Men whose genius has built enormous manufactur- ing plants sat in the lobby and talked about that. Men whose products, carrying the “made in America” abel, sail out of Seattle for ports of the seven seas, wrinkled their brows over how to get it. ¢ * @ in Seattle!

They also say they think Dovery’s mur- derer was some mentally unbalanced person inflamed by the ungerground rumors which have made Kelso @ |hotbed of mistrust.
