Smith-carpentier Looks Like Draw
Cubs Break Even.

So far no fight expert of unbiased
mind has come forward to pick win
ner of tonight's fight in London be-
tween Gunboat Smith and Georges
Carpenter. -..... ...'
And that's about how even propo-
sition this battle seems to be. Both
men have done all that was asked OF
them in the past. Each has knock
out over Bombardier Wells, the En-
glish pane of glass, to his credit. Car
pentier, it is true, had previously been
put out by the Englishman, but he
has advanced far since then.
A thorough search of the form
sheets indicates that Smith has q
slightly better punch, but he viii have

The story from London OF attempts
to fix the recent Moran-Johnson ngnt
is not unexpected. Johnson, accord
ing to the yarn, agreed to given Nor
an 40 per cent of the gate If he would
take the count in round 8, and sign
ed an agreement to that effect. Nor
an and his manager, Dan Mckettrlck,
now produce what they claim is the
agreement,
But an American sportsman,
brand always prominent in France,
comes out with a statement that et-
forts were made to have Carpenter,
the referee, give Moran all the best OF
the breaks, for which he was to re-
eeive $4,000. Carpenter was to call
the fight a draw if Moran was on his
feet at the end of 20 rounds, or award
the championship to Moran on foul
if Johnson gave the slightest opening.
From which it would be judged
that one side was as bad as the other.
The white mans crowd was shade
the rawest, as it was willing to put
over a double cross.
There probably never will be posi-
tive proof of the guilt of either side.
But the tendency some men connect
ed with prizefghting have to befoul
their own nests will cause suspicion,
formed at the time the fight was ar
ranged, to linger.
Even a square crook is hettar than

MANY good things TO Ca, are in
the market for Thanksgiving day. A.
glance into the windows Of the grocery

demand. But they will never meet it
entirely. The other South American
countries, and especially Argentina,
which is the heaviest consumer. always
will buy very largely abroad.
The fact that Lancashire is now TAX.
ing so little cotton from our southern
states is evidence that the British tex
tile industry is upset, and Manchester
is sending small quantities of cotton
goods to South America. A single
years interruption of the market
means a permanent loss provided any
vigorous competitor comes into the
field to dispute it.
Germany is out of the question. and
Spain and Italy. while they are COM
petitors, are not vigorous ones. Here.
tofore the American mills have been
requirements as to designs. patterns
and SO forth that they have made lit.
tie headway in the markets. II they
fail to improve the present opportunity
1t will be the result OF their own Lack
of enterprise.
The textile trade of the world Is one
of the biggest items in the United
Kingdoms $1,000. 100000 foreign com.
merce. The trade in iron and steel
products is next. Then there Is a long
list of miscellaneous commodities. Re.
viewing the situation as a whole, not.
wfthstanding that British cruisers are
keeping the ocean lanes open, and that
British shipping in the Thames 10 re-
ported to show no signs OF war, while
the merchant feet at Hongkong 10 said
to be undisturbed, 1t will be almost a

as they had at the beginning.

less than 100000 tons was with Brit
ish possessions.
This covers not only the dependen-
cies, but the self-ruling colonies, which
make preferential tariffs for the bene-
fit of the United Kingdom, where the
preference does not conflict with their
own interests.
Canada's preferential tariff, under
which British products receive an av-
erage of 33 per cent tariff concessions
as against the United States and other
countries. is the most significant evil
dence of the desire of the colonies to
help British trade. Nevertheless the
help is not very great. British trade
fares as well relatively in the harbor
Of St Johns, N. F.. where there is no
preference for British goods, as in st.
John, N B., where there is a prefer
ence.
Two years ago, when the British
West India colonies. with the excep-
tfon of Jamaica. were dragooned into a
Canada, the United Kingdom was given
the same preference. The preference
given by New Zealand and Australia
and by South Africa Is of some benefit
to British trade, yet it is hardly dis
cernible in the general equation of for
eign commerce.
British trade, all things considered
actually has expanded more rapidly in
the so-called neutral markets of the
world, such as South America and the
orient, than in the distinctive British
possessions. The moral and frequently
material support of the British gov
ernment has been back Of this expan-
private enterprise from taking hold
and depending on its own exertions.

tion in the neutral markets of the

This was practically the merging OF
the various Industries into a single
selling company for the foreign trade.
parent.
British investments abroad, which
began with the overflow of surplus
capital a century and a half ago, are
the basis of England's best markets in
most foreign countries. There is at
invested in the Argentine Republic 1t
is in banks. railways. ranches, packing
house plants and the like. The rail-
ways form the largest share.
Whenever English capital has fur
nished the money to build a railway
line in Argentina the English mills
have supplied the steel rails. the loco
rolling stock. The London banks.
through which the funds have been OBJ
tained have seen to it that the ma
terial was purchased from the British
Industries which they also were financ-
ing.
Shareholders in the railways have
not always had the benefit of obtain
what the shareholders have lost Brit
ish mills have gained. SO that the Brit
ish public at large. industrially and
commercially considered, has not been
a loser.
The policy of buying only from Brit
ish mills is maintained with dog
gedness that is truly English. but 1t
insures British markets for the ma
terial needed. The control of the pur-
chases is moreover maintained by the
plan of having everything centered In
London. The head sof an Argentina

under the British flag.
The Madero basins in the harbor of
Buenos Aires are dotted with the aags
of all nations. except possibly that OF
the United States. The standards Of
other countries Germany, France,
Italy, Norway, Spain-are SO numerous
that from a passing glance the pre-
dominance of the British ensign might
not be apparent. But the cold statis-
tics tell the story of British shipping
supremacy in the Argentine trade.
