Likens United States
To Scheming Landlord

Uncle Sam has been classed by Sir
Edward Grey. the British foreign min
lister, with Landlord who did not re-
duce his rents when the surrounding
landlords reduce theirs, an then ac-
quired a reputation for generosity by
giving rebates on his rents while the
other landlords did not" According to
reports from London, the analogy was
drawn in connection with comparisons
made between America and Great Brt-
tain in the matter of the Boxer indem-
nifty. Recent overtures from China re-
proach England for not being as gen.
erous as America
The British government was not wise
in its generation" Lord Grey said 'sIr
had drawn up large claims against
China, but reduced them before pre-
senting them. The United States. on
the other hand, presented very large
claims. waited until a good deal of them
had been paid by China, and then
waived the rest. This. of course, gave
the United States good dramatic po-
sition.''

ing regarding the pending currency bill.

feature which has resulted in making
