But does it benefit Great Britain? Again the Americans build artistic as well as efficient factories, generally on the most important and conspicuous sites, thereby benefiting by constant and direct advertising of their goods. A few recently erected in London are eliciting much com- ment, One is even illuminated at night, but what is more noticeable than anything else to the practical business man, is that it is erected at a point where the motor traffic is enormous, and they are making goods for motor cars. We can only com- pete with the American in his enter- rise and foresight by emulating him. We are doing it in Canada, why not in England? Then take the methods of sales- manship and service, the most im- portant adjuncts to export trade. We can adopt many excellent ideas from the Americans in this direction. The chain store, which really originated in England, has rapidly developed in merica. It is direct trading from the factory to the consumer. It fills factories with orders. The Eaton dry goods business of Canada is worth observation, They are expanding their business throughout Canada with branches of immense propor- tions thereby enabling them to keep their factories in full operation. The American branch factory and chain store system has penetrated through- out Canada and now is doing the same thing in Great Britain. That system will naturally increase Amer- ican trade abroad. The process of this trade expansion is to introduce and sell American goods. The export business must in consequence suffer. Let me give you an example. I am financially interested in an American company, which a' few years ago was supplying the British and German markets with goods from its Brook- lyn factory. Now there are branch factories in both countries, therefore America ccases to export to them-- but the pufchasing power of raw ma- terials (steel lead and copper) of these factories still remains American Today Americans are not thinking so much of export trade in the literal sense, as they are of finding mark- ets for their surplus goods and it seems to me Empire manufacturers have everything to gain by emulation of this trade policy and there is no greater way of building the founda- tion for this course than by estab- lishing the greatest mutual under- standing, goodwill and sentiment on this question throughout the Domin- ions and Great Britain. At a time I was talking to a Brit. ish stainless steel manufacturer whose plant was only working about fifty per cent of capacity, word arrived that an American stainless steel com- pany were going to erect a branch factory in the Province of Quebec. This will mean a loss of orders for Sheffield. If this firm had followed the American method of trade ex- pansion through the establishment of branch factories, six months ago, there is no doubt that the American manufacturer, who uses scientific reckonings in planning his industrial expansion, would not have ventured into Canada, because his research experts would not have considered the field large enough for two such factories. British manufacturers must reconcile themselves to the pre- sent day American trade .expansion movement, if they want to keep pace with the times, I met a Canadian Trade Commis- sioner from India and asked him what Canada sold in that country. He said "large quantities of automobiles I could not help thinking that the Canadian automobiles were manu- factured in American branch factor- ies, the profits from which went to American shareholders. How amus- ing, yet how true, Here was Can- ada, glad to further the trade of her American branch factories, in India, not only because it provided labor for her working population, but it evidenced her appreciation of the in- vestment of American capital within her border, '< I believe Canada and Great Britain are better at the present time with- out diplomatic relations with Soviet Russia, but this state of affairs nesd not interfere with taking orders for goods, if the purchasers have the gold to pay for them. While Eng- land is busy thinking over the mat- ter, the Americans are capturing many concessions in natural resour- ces and even laying the foundation for the establishment of branch fac- tories--to advertise and educate the people in the use of American goods. Even Ford, who, one would think would be the last man in the world to have any truck or trade with the Russians, is reported to have closed a deal with them, which will make his car the most widely known car in Russia, yet I have not the least doubt that Mr. Ford's principles do not condone the Russian conduct any more than the strictest minds in Eng- land, but Mr. Ford like many Ameri- can manufacturers draws the line be- tween his personal views and his de- sire to find employment. for working men and will go after business in any country with*his branch factories as long as he can find a market for his class of car, : Another strong factor among Am- ericans is their overwhelming desire to obtain home-made goods along the world's travel routes. A similar pa- triotic sentiment with the people of the Empire would certainly increase Empire trade. The discussion of these and many such important economic questions among employers and employees in all parts of the Empire as a medium of education would assuredly bene- fit and stimulate inter-Empire' trade. The following suggestions would, 1 think, help us to achieve this pur- pose-- First--The organization of a repre- sentative body from all the Domin- ions, to meet annually in London or elsewhere to debate and solve by re- solution many conflicting problems, independent of politics, but represen- tative of capital and labor. .

Through this medium, with the use of the theatres at the noon hour, millions of our Empire population would be enlightened on economic issues that would create greater un- derstanding and goodwill and a ma- terial patriotism that would stimu- late and increase trade within the Empire, The following are a few advant- ages that would be obtained by the activities of such an organization: To support and help all Govern- ment efforts in inter-Empire trade.

Watch The Way the Crowds Greet Him Canadian Newspaper Men Made Undignified Rush 19.500 Him; English Are Still Eating Oatmeal Porridge English Channel Still on Its Bad Behavior . By A. R. KENNEDY Editor of the Stratford Beacon- era London, July 1--In this city, the heart of the Empire, only an hour or so, but we have seen the King, We had seen a day or so ago the route of the parade and had hoped we would be in time to sce it. We were. There was no time to unpack bags or find room on arriving at the stately old Hotel Cecil here. It may be that we were too anxious and lacking in dignity, but the idea uppermost in the minds of every- one was that the King must be seen. Traffic was very heavy along the Strand; even the pigeons and the great monument and lions at Trafalgar Square failed to halt us as we passed over into Pall Mall and on toward the place where the procession would pass. Just in time. Finding a little place of elevation on the base of a lamp post, I hung on like the small boy with his eye glued to a knot- hole in the ball park. Handsome ricers on ahcad, then Their Majes- ties, the King and Queen, smiling and responding graciously to the cheers of the hundreds of thousands who seemed to have gathered at all points along the route. As far as appearances go, King Gearge looked well, Seen at fairly close range, he resembles very closely the pictures which our papers have printed of him. If any person doubts the popu- larity of His Majesty in this city, all that is necessary to show the error of such a belief would be to watch the crowd seeking places of advantage, and listen to the roars of delight and approval with which he is greeted. Now turn for a moment to the passage over. We took a steamer from the Hook of Holland late Sun- day night to cross the Channel, or a section of the North Sca. It takes about six hours, and I am told it is often very rough business. I can quite believe * there is considerable truth in the report, for it was much worse than at any time. crossing the Atlantic, It seemed that the skip- per was performing a combination of the figure cight and the whip which delights so many people at the circus. Then there would come the pounding of waves on the side of the vessel, which sounded as though some person had just dumped a load of bricks. It was a rate old ride, but much walking during the day had produced such a longing for sleep that I finally slept it out. There ca's efficiency methods of salesman- ship and national penetration where it does not exist. To teach our children more patriot- ic love, pride and respect for Empire goods. To become a happy medium of un- derstanding on all conflicting trade unnecessary prejudice and ill feeling, From all whom I have interviewed, from the man in the street to the most prominent men, I can, assure you no movement will meet with greater general public support, or favor, if a group of British public spirited men will only lend a hand to give it a start. [I feel sure Canada and all the Dominions will answer the call as they did in the great war, were a number of sick ones by morn- ing, and I was not at all sorry when a rap came on the door at 6.15 to be ready to get off. Oatmeal Porridge Again On the way to London we had breakfast, as we understand that term at home. The waiter came into the dining car and asked if I would like oatmeal porridge. I hope A friend, Harry Anderson, of the Globe, sees this, for I place it on record that they do serve porridge in England, even if the Scottish folk are turning from it. Likewise, he had fried Ssh, bacon and eggs, and all manner of things. Such a break- fast is quite foreign to the contin- ent. . On the way from Harwich to Lon- don I found out where some of the names in America came from, The people at Boston have a suburb called Dedham, and there is also a similar place not far from London, on the London and North Eastern. In London, Ontario, there is a dis- trict known as Manor Park, and I know they must have picked that from here also, because I 'went through Manor Park this morning. Then, too, we have always imagin- ed that Stratford got its name from the Shakespeare country. That may be so, but just outside of Lon- don there is a Stratford East Junc- tion. * We arrived at the Liverpool street station and, after entering the bus, found a new wrinkle to save room. The seat for the driver is hoilt out in front, on one side of the hood of the car, and that much laure space is available for seating. Buses, more of them, and then after that more again. Streets packed with traffic, and yet all moving along very smoothly, despite the manner in which the thoroughfare twists and turns. When the police officer puts out his arm here, trafic stops at once. Watch the directions and do as the officers suggest, and there is not much difficulty in crossing streets in London. Hon. P. C. Larkin is Popular Out this afternoon, as were all Canadians to the reception given by the Canadian High Commissioner, Hon. P. C. Larkin. Among the Canadians we met there were Rev: Canon Cody, of Toronto; Hon. Dr. King, minister of health; Hon. N. W. Rowell. Miss Fraser, of Strat- ford, was also in attendance at the reception this afternoon. Appar- ently, the high commissioner stands high in the estimation of the Lon- don people. His spacious home at Lancaster Gate was thronged with callers for several hours. On the way out we passed along the edge of Hyde Park, and, true to form, a speaker was there airing his views. A police officer stood in- dulgently at one side, now and then advising the crowd to move on and not block the thoroughfare. Other- wise, the officer paid no attention. Yes, we are today in the home of free speech, I have known old Lon- don hardly a day yet, but its ap- peal is irresistible. We are receiving bids om new cruisers so as to get them done in time to throw them on the next naval conference scrapheap.--Dallas News. Most men would rather work some one than work for some one. --Kitchener Record. LADY A. CAVENDISH ENGAGED 10° WED Former Daughter of Rideau Hall to Marry Heir to Sir Philip Hunloke Canadians are interested in the announcement of the engagement of Lady Anne Cavendish, the youngset daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, to Mr. Henry Hunloke, only son of Major Sir Philip Hunloke, groom-in-wait- ing to the King, and the disting- uished helmsman of the King's yacht Britannia, Lady Anne, who is just twenty years of age, was known as the prettiest debutante of the 1927 season in London, and is now re- ferred to as one of the most beautiful titled ladies in the Brit- ish Isles, She spent five happy years at Rideau Hall, Ottawa, as a child when her father was governor- general, Although only twelve years of age when she left Canada in 1921, Lady Anne still recalls her Canadian friends. Lady Anne's sister, Lady Rachel Cavendish, was for some time mentioned as the future queen of Grat Britain, but her name has not recently been linked with that of the Prince of Wales, Now a modern girl in every way, Lady Anne is tall and slim with lovely chestnut hair. She shares her fiance's love of outdoor life, being particularly fond of hunting, fishing and skating.
