MEDFORD MXTT. TRTBUXE, BEDFORD. OREGON', WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 3f, 1932. PATJE FIV FUTURE MARKET FOR U. S. TRADE Government Experts Look ing to Far East for Indus- v trial Products of America Modernization Will Aid By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE WASHINGTON. (AP More than ever, government trade experts are looking to the Far East u a great vmarke for future Industrial products 'of the United States. Europe's Increased Industrializa tion, coupled with a growing tenden cy there to foster the use of "home" products, has served to direct the attention of these economists to the relative Importance of trana-Paclflc trade In the coming post-depression period and the cultivation of mar kets where hundreds of millions of people are' potential consumers of American-made goods. .While It Is from the long-range viewpoint rather than any Immediate prospect that brightest hopes are held for American trade gains In the Ori ent, it Is believed that world-wide economic recovery and the stabiliza tion of silver the latter a major objective of the forthcoming Interna tional conference will give substan tial Impetus to Par E-stern business. See Hope tn Modernization It la In the slow but steady pro gressing of modernization of the Far Bast as a whole, despite unstable po litical conditions and the business slump, that foreign trade observers find the most salient note of hope ior the Increase of trans-Paclflc shipping. "In China's modern Industrial ad vance, new trade vistas fcave been opened up," says Dr. Julius Klein, as sistant secretary of commerce. "The new factories may cut our trade In their finished products but they will In the long run Increase It In other lines by Improving the earning ca pacity of the people and consequently their living standards. "New notions of comfort, enjoy ment and the easier performance of dally tasks are taking possession of millions of minds in the Far East," Dr. Klein says. "Eventually hun dreds of millions will be affected by this kindling of new commercial de sires. And In the satisfying of these desires, American business is certain to play an Important part." The Far Eaat trade experts say that even with the most rapid in dustrial development, China for a very long time would be unable to satisfy the consumer needs of its 430,000,000 people. i India Wants to "Shop" While India with Its 350,000,000 people Is still the greatest of all east ern customers of Great Britain, trade observers say she is restive under British commercial domination and is showing a constantly Increasing de termination to buy her "western" needs In whatever market Is cheap est. Considered as offering better near future trade prospects and a similarly vast potential market Is Russia with Its 180,000,000 people and an Indus trial program w.hlch economists be lieve will not have sufficient capac ity to care for her needs in manufac tured goods. Although these huge populations have been slow in adapting them selves to commercial modernism, the trade of the United States with the Far East as a whole has brown faster Incs the pre-war period than with any other great region in the world. In the years 1910-1014, the Far East took only '7 per cent of our - total exports; in 1930 the proportion was 144 per cent. That region sup plied 15 14 per cent of U. S. Imports Just before the war and more than 38 per cent last year. "Look to the East" In 1853, William H. Seward who as secretary of state negotiated the purchase of Alaska, ssld: "The Pa cific ocean, Its shore, its islands and the vast region beyond will become the chief theater of events in the world's great hereaftr." Today's government trade experts say: "As our foreign trade gets un der way again as It ls bound to some time the far-sighted export ers will have as their slogan: 'Watch the East.

Dowager Turns Extra As Fortune Vanishes By BOBBIN COONS HOLLYWOOD (AP) After a life-' time of wealth and travel, Suzanne Wood, member of a prominent Chi-' cago family, found 'her fortune cf nearly 1,500.000 swept away in the stock market crash of 1929. Now she Is in Hollywood, an "ex tra" in motion pictures, and pursu ing her ambition for an acting ca reer. "I don't consider It beneath my dignity to play extra and small bits in films no. Indeed," she says. "I want to make a success, and to achieve that I'm glad to start at the bottom." Suzanne Wood, known In Chicago as Mrs. John E. Dean, Is the daugh ter of the late Samuel E. Wood, prom inent and wealthy Chlcagoan. Her late husband, also wealthy, was a world traveler. With him, until his death and later alone, Suzanne Wood toured the world, visited many for eign countries and took part In so cial and artistic activities both here and abroad. In 1908 she was present ed at the Court of St. James. As singer and dancer she had ap peared In charitable entertainments, but never seriously thought of 'act ing as a profession until, returning from Europe, she found her fortune gone. Further saddened by the death in an automobile accident of her brother. Kay Wood, Mrs. Dean came V California. "One day," she relates, 1 hired car and. driver and set out for the beach to rest and relax. Along the way a tire went flat. It was In front of the M-O-M studios. That was when I decided to try pictures. "While the tire was being repaired I went into the casting office and was told to report for work the next day. I got 7 for It, and I've been working at it ever since," Miss Wood la seen frequently In ballroom scenes, usually as a soci ety dowager. The rich wardrobe she saved from happier days she uses now before the camera. But she is philo sophical about her losses. "It isn't fashionable any longer to be rich," she laughs. "I dont know any one who is in these times. Now I want to make a new career for myself" as a character actress." When she isn't playing in pictures, MLss Wood writes. She Is the author of several novels.
