Naturally, there has been a lot of comment on who the next Mrs. Gable will be everybody seems sure that there will be a third Mrs. Gable as soon as the divorce goes through. Hollywoods candidates are Loretta Young and Elizabeth Allen. People who were on location with Clark and Loretta when the Call of the Wild was made say there's no question that she Is the new love. She says nothing. Elizabeth Allen, rather startled, points out the fact that she already has a husband. In New York theyr saying that hell follow the example of Gary Cooper and Richard Barthelmeas and marry a society girl. His first wife, they say, taught him to act Hi second, as the first Mrs. Gable revealed In an Interview startling for Its frankness, was married because she' had money, which would fur-thhis career. Now that hes a success, says New York, hell pick a wife who can advance him socially. One of the nominations is Mary Taylor, who forsook society, more or less, to pose for fashion photographs a year or so ago. She is the niece of Countess de Frasso (once Gary Coopers heartbeat, ond a frequent visitor at Pickfair before bhe acquired a home of her own In Hollywood). Miss Taylor is pretty If you like the sulky type; youll see her In the next Ileciit and MucArthur picture, Soak the Rich her first venture into pictures. As for what Gable himself has to say: Loretta Young is a very good friend, nothing more, he announced on his return to Hollywood. Miss Allen? A very good friend. Miss Taylor? She, also, Is a very good friend. So It looks as If we might have a new club called The Very Good Friends of Clark Gable. Incidentally, that society would Include tho first two Mrs. Gables. The first one has always said that she still felt friendly toward him; that Ills career wus always the first consideration, even In the days when they were very poor; they mancents each aged to save twenty-fiv- e week, so that he could go to the movies; If they saved fifty, she could go too. She got no money when they separated, but theyre still friends. The second Mrs. Gable also maintains that they will always be friendly.

Left to right are pictured Secretary of State Cordell Hull, Prime Minister Mackenzie King and the President, as they signed the pact, with United States cabinet members In the background. Included In the Canadian concessions of the new treaty are special reductions or abolition of duties on ISO items which Canada imports from us. Most important among the reductions were 50 per cent on agricultural machinery; 25 to 80 per cent on other machinery; 25 to 50 per cent for meat; 50 per cent for grapefruit; 12 to 25 per cent on automobiles, and similar reductions for electric refrigerators, washing machines and radios. Canada agreed to keep on the free list oranges (during the first fonr months of the year), magazines, raw cotton, and certain vegetables (not staples), and to lower duties on several minor manufactured products ana surgical dressings. Stops Unfair Practice. Canada agreed to retire a practice that has been the source of some annoyance to American merchants, especially those in cities near the border. That was the use of powers under the tariff laws to place arbitrarily high prices upon Further, Canada Imported goods. will now permit her tourists to bring home $100 worth of goods from the United States duty free, a concession which has set up a few howls from the dealers at home. United Among the important States concessions were a reduction In the duties to one-hal- f of on the first 155,799 heavy beef cattle (about three times our import from Cannda during the first nine months of 1934), 51,933 calves less than 175 pounds each (this quota is about 1 per cent of the American annual calf slaughter) and 20,000 dairy cattle imported each year; a 20 per cent to 40 per cent tariff cut on the first 750, W0 bushels of 6eed potatoes each year; a cut of 43 per cent for the first 1,500,000 gallons of cream ; a reduction of 50 per cent in the duty on whisky aged four or more years In the wood, and a 50 per cent ent on lumber (Douglas fir and western hemlock were limited to 250,000,000 board feet annually). There were numerous additional duty reductions on comparatively unimportant products ranging from lacrosse sticks to pipe organs for churches. Certain wood products, minerals, skins and sea foods were kept on the free list. Loudest of all the lamentations came from the lumber industries In the United States. Indeed, 50,000 nnlon workers In the timber forests and lumber mills of the Pacific Northwest threatened to strike in protests even before the terms of the agreement became known. These Industries, It was apparent, were expecting to be the hardest hit, and events Justified their expectations, The general feeling was that lumber had been offered on the sacrificial block that conditions might be bettered for other industries. Senator McNary of Oregon left immediately for Washington, claiming that his mall was Including 1,000 letters of protest a day, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, as well as southern pine and cypress states also are affected. One manufacturer estimated that the price of Canadian lumber would be cut from $1.25 to $1.75 per 1,000 hoard feet at a time when the Industry is alAnother venready tured the guess that 4, 900, WO manhours of employment annually would be turned over to cheaper Canadian labor. By WILLIAM C. UTLEY 1929 we exported to Canada goods valued at $900,000,000. IN onr northern neighbor we Imported $515,000,000 worth or goods. In 1934 our Canadian exports amounted to $300,000,000 and our Canadian Imports $233,000,000. Was this falling off In trade a result of the depression? Or was the depression a result of the falling off in trade (with other countries as well as Canada, of course?) These questions are best answered by another one: Which came first the chicken or the egg? If your business Is one not Immediately affected by tariffs and trade agreements and such goings on, and you would answer yes to the first question, It Is not likely that you approve of the new reciprocal trade agreement with Canada, which goes into effect January 1, 1930. IT your business is not Immediately affected, and you would answer yes to the second question, the chan Cos are you do approve. If your business Is immediately affected by the treaty, your approval or disapproval Is likely to depend upon whether you stand to lose money or make money by it The chances are you will find the treaty a little annoying if you are a lumberman, dairyman, whisky manufacturer, cattleman or (with certain reservations) farmer. You will probably like it If you are a manufacturer of farm machinery, electrical goods, automobiles or or cotton radios; a citrus-frugrower, or a magazine publisher. Consumers Will Like It You are almost sure to like It if you are Just a plain consumer or a .politician. For the consumer, It will mean some reduction In prices. The politician, if he be against the Roosevelt administration, will find certain definite disadvantages to pounce upon publicly; If he be In favor of the New Deal, he will find certain definite advantages to brag about publicly. For the new pact signed In Washington by President Roosevelt and Maekenzlne King, shortly after Canadas new premier was elected, Is the very epitome of Secretary of State Cordell Hulls policy of securing recirocal trade agreements with foreign nations on the most-f- a basis. It Is the seventh such agreement to become effective, since we had previously signed reciprocal agreements with Belgium, Brazil, Colombia, Culm, Haiti and Sweden. It Is the first time we have used the quota system In a trade agree- onc-thlr- it vored-Diiuo- n ment In signing an agreement with the United States under the Hull policy, a foreign nation promises that If It gives any concessions to any other nation or nations, such concessions will automatically become effective with regard to the United States. We feciprocate by makiDg the same promise. By the new pact Cannda gives ns d nation" rating. But In the light of the concessions the United States made on 53 different Items, Canada Is certainly the nation most favored by the agreement. In the opinion of some public figures, such as former President It means still Hoover, who said: larger Imports of foreign food. 1 presume it Is more of the abundant life for Canadians." Secretary of Agriculture Wallace was not long In making reply to rlmrges of hurting the farmer; The attempt wh'ch Is now being made to arouse special groups Is, la the main, being Ih1 or Inspired by the suae enemies of ngrieulture who, In the guise of helping ngrl culture with higher tariffs on farm products brought enactment of the hill with Its exorbiHaw tant Industrial rates and its sequel ( levseueil furur markets. most-favore- d , 0, pos-sibT- Jobs. In the corn bolt the general feelthere was one, was hard to define with any degree of certainty. Individual feeling depended much on what each farmer's specialty was. Range cattle Interests, for Instance, did not like the provision which would admit Canadian feeder cattle, but corn growers aaw some advantage In It Seed potato growers In Minnesota were certain that the business would he seriously affected, but table potato growers In Kansas saw a better Canadian market ahead. Meanwhile, Secretary Hull went right ahead with Ids plans for opening up United States trade, and world stimulating subsequently trade by negotiating for more treaties along the same lines.

Manufacturers of farm machinery, steel, glass and petroleum were Jubilant. The opinion of 1,000 manufacturers was voiced In the words of John W. OLeary, president of the Machinery and Allied Products Institute, who said: The United States sold about $15,-50WO worth of machinery to Canada In 1934, a gain of 74 per cent over 1933, as compared to a gain of only 42 per cent for Great Britain, our chief . competitor. This was despite the great competitive disadvantage of the duty of 30 to 35 per cent on our machinery. The new duty of 20 to 25 per cent and less In cases of some special machinery reduces the competitive disadvantage and should give substantial impetus to machine ery sales In Canada, making proportionate In our capital goods Industries where an Important portion of all employment In the United States still exists. Howls From Canada, Too. In Canada, too, there was some opposition, although stocks In Toronto were. somewhat strengthened after the announcement, Indicating perhaps that some of the hue and cry In both nations was the natural reaction to be expected when any kind of Important diplomatic step Is undertaken by a government Canadian conservatives were of the opinion that It gained too little for Cannda and too much for the United States. Sectional reception of the treaty In the United States was varied. In New England, some truck farmers were pleased over concessions given by Cannda on a few vegetables, while potato growers were op In arms. Manufacturers of many factory products were elated over the new market created, and shippers were friendly toward the pact the because clause allows goods bound for Can-ada- n ports to enter North America through United States ports and cross the Canadian line without duty. Some Sectional Opinions. In Michigan and Wisconsin, the agricultural and lumber bodies were chagrined by the considerably treatys terms, while automobile and furniture manufacturers were sure It would stimulate trade and create ing, If all the We know it through experience.
