CANADA FAVORS
EMPIRE TRADE
Ottawa, July 21 UP) A definite
offer proposing wider preferences
for British goods In exchange for
greater British preferences to
Canadian Imports was made today
by Premier R. B. Bennett of Cana
da Immediately after he was chosen
chairman of the imperial economic
conference.
Any such program of preference
would have considerable effect on
the trade of the United States.
The premier declared such a
system of preference exchanges
should be enduring. Representa
tives of the dominions, he said,
must decide now what course they
Intend to take and follow it with
out deviation. His proposal was di
rected to the United Kingdom but
the offer was extended also to all
other parts of the empire wherever
Its application would be mutually
advantageous.
"There are two ways of obtain
ing increased preference," he said,
"either by lowering trade barriers
among ourselves or by raising them
against others. The choice Is govern
ed largely by local considerations,
but subject to that, It seems to us
that we should follow tne first
rather than the second course.
"However great our resources, we
cannot Isolate ourselves from the
rest of the world."
Theh premier declared that "when
we marshal the strength of the
empire, which Is the sum total of
Its cooperating parts, we are In
vincible."
He pointed out that it was
necessary for each unit of the
empire to do Its utmost in the
spirit of self help.

By HARRY N. CRAIN
Political observers and others close to etate hiehway
affairs both here and in Portland find in Governor Meier's
statement that he is "in no hurry" to appoint a successor to
Leslie M. Scott confirmation of well-founded reports that
the executive is having; difficulty in finding; a suitable man
willing to undertake the Job. Un-
official reports current in Portland
yesterday and last night were to
the effect that two men had al
ready rejected tenders of the ap
pointment, although their Identi
ties were not stated with sufficient
authority to warrant publication.
Three major reasons can be stat
ed for the difficulty encountered
in making the appointment, not the
least of which is the demonstrated
inclination of the governor to im
pose his dictation upon past com
missioners and his failure to sup
port the commission in Its stated
policies.
A second reason is that the new

-Organized relief," he said, "is
benefitting the politician more than
the distressed unemployed. It is the
biggest racket in the country and all
politicians high and low are its chief
beneficiaries."
Mr. Babson urged a "quota plan"
for bringing business back to normal
and pointed out "the real task" was
to balance production and consump

work. He said a simple remedy
would be to quota the unemployed
against employers and those already
employed.
