Campaign to uplift Movie Customers

 The campaign of Lloyd C Douglass to uplift the movie customers is progressing unabated. With "Disputed Passage" nearing its final days, the patrons again will learn that humility and hope remain in the greatest of human virtues. In this instance, Dr. Douglas' philosophy of nobility is being expounded by none other than Dorothy Lamour, John Howard and Akim Tamiroff. Those who read the book will recall that it does with the deserving, who think right in medical circles and in China.

  The unbelievers of whom Tamiroff is one, are taught to accept the teachings of Confucius, and in the script it is specified that one scene should be photographed so that "the wisdom of old China will shine out of Dorothy's eyes" Although Miss Lamour is a woman of many talents, she has never been called upon to do this before.

 In addition to the Chinese actors headed by Keye Luke, the picture will feature Lee Ya-Ching, the Chinese aviatrix who is touring the country in her plane. The script provided Miss Lamour be shown landing at an airport in Miss Lee's craft. At first the actress refused to go up in the flyer, but after watching her perform in the air, agreed to the sequence. The publicity department photographed the two together with Miss Lee is a sarong and Miss Lamour in a Chinese costume. Miss Lee was very gracious about the whole affair.

Dr. Brossard Tells Need os Foreign Trade

 If the United States should cut itself off completely from foreign markets, we would be obligated to repattern completely our whole economic life, Dr. Edgar B. Brossard, Utah member of the United States Tariff Commission, today told members of the Salt Lake Rotary Club in the Hotel Utah. 

 "Many of our basic industries are geared to supply substantial fractions of their output to foreign buyers," the speaker explained. "Almost one-half of the South's raw cotton goes to the mills of Europe and Asia. Foreign outlets take almost one-third of the lubricating oil and one-eighth of the kerosene produced in the United States.

 "One-third of the domestic production of copper and of borax goes abroad and 45 per cent of that of phosphate rock," he continued. "About one-half of our production of prunes and apricots goes overseas, and substantial portions of our office appliances, industrial machinery and aircraft are sold in foreign nations."

  Dr. Brossard's talk was a feature of the local observance of National Foreign Trade Week, during which the accomplishments and benefits of foreign trade will be explained to business men in all parts of the nation. 

 "If we want to buy from foreign countries, then we must sell to foreign countries, and the corollary to that is that is we want to sell abroad, then we must also buy abroad," the trade expert declared.

 "Foreign trade is both desirable and necessary to promote the maximum welfare of our people," Dr. Brossard said. "Any attempt to limit our consumption to those kinds and quantities of materials produced within our own boundaries would, both in time of peace and war, impose needless hardship and would compel great sacrifice in our American standard of living. Since the founding of our republic, foreign trade has been a vital factor in the welfare of the nation."

 Miss Lee Ya-Ching, world renowned Chinese aviatrix, also spoke briefly to the club on "China's Civilian Relief Fund." Vice President J. A. Hale presided.
