Africa.

The latest grievance OF English
trade against America consists In the
government purchasing -four In the
United States for South Africa.
writer In the London Morning Post de-
clares this action is fit subject for
an inquiry, and that Il constitutes a
most unfair handicap for English mill
srs, while the Americans, who pay
no taEes. are able TO dispose OF infe-
rior grades" 1t appears that large
quantities are being purchased In
America on account Of the standard
brands and shipment being better
and ready at the dock. The cham
pion Of the English millers maintains
the government 's wrong in believing
the American article has these ad-
yantages. averring that the English
mills are now fitted with machinery
superior to that In use in America,
and that thev are quite able 70 supply
the demands for South Africa. The
protest, however. is not likely 10 deter
the government from pntronizing this
new branch OF American industry.

gression calls forth u protest. II APP
