J0LLYING GREAT BRITAIN.
MIR. Porter Tells Them They Are a
Lot of Industrial Pessimists.

London, June 1O-Robert p. Porter,
speaking to-day before the Chesterfield
Chamber of Commerce on THE Epidemic
OF Industrial Pessimism in the United
Kingdom" said:
1T is extremely doubtful whether the
United States are prepared now to com
pete in the markets of the world in man..
ufacture except in iron and steel ma
chinery and the coarser grades of cotton
goods. The tariff indicates that Ameri-
can economists and statesmen do not be-
lieve the United States are yet able to
take an industrial position by the side
of Great Britain"
Mr.. Porter expressed the opinion that
Great Britain's backwardness in electric
al science was due more to absurd re-
strlctions and laws than to lack of enter
prise, and he said that Great Britain
needs bracing up in new, not old indus
trial problems.
Those who argue that Great Britain's
commercial supremacy is at an end be-
cause of the value of American exports
or the total of the foreign commerce of
the United States exceeds Great Britain's s
FOR one year." continued Mr.. Porter,
might find the argument upset by the
first bad harvest. Many complicated eco
nomic problems must be faced in the
United States. The magnitude of Amer
lean undertakings may be impressive, but
these have corresponding dangers.
In spite of European mutterings there
is little likelihood of a combined Euro
pean tariff war against the United States,
because the nations concerned are so
hopelessly involved In tariff conflicts be-
tween themselves. Great Britains free
trade policy may have injured her home
industries but it has strengthened her
foreign trade, On the other hand the
United States are finding considerable
difficulty, both at home and abroad in
negotiating commercial treaties"
