BRITISH BUDGET DEFICIT

London. Jan. 22.-The Cabinet Will hold
an important meeting to-day to decide
upon its naval programme for the coming
year Since Winston Spencer Churchill
has been head Of the Admiralty he has
spent money lavshly in speeding up con-
struction. with the result that the eX-
penditures have exceeded the estimates
by almost $4,000 900, and by reason Of this
Mr.. LLOYD George for the first time since
he has been Chancellor Of the Exchequer,
is faced with a budget deficit. Hence his
anxiety TO bring about a halt in naval
expenditure.
Mr. Churchill. however, insists upon
-Four new dreadnoughts being laid down
the coming year. together with plans in
volving an additional expenditure OF be-
tween 100000 and 100000.
The Little Navy" party considers two
dreadnoughts sufficient. but the general
belief is that the First Lord OF the Nd
miralty will carry his point.

SCHUSTER PREDICTS BOOM
London Banker Optimistic as
to Recent U. S. Legislation.
TRv cable 20 Tn, Trlhune. |


London. Jan. 21.-Sr Felix Schuster
chairman OF the board OF directors OF
the Union OF London and Smiths Bank,
az the company scmi-annual meeting
to-day said
THE American tariff and federal re-
serve acts are the most important
events Of last year in the commercial
world. and must have farreaching con-
sequences" He predicted a great In
crease in the commercial power OF
America, with some danger OF London
losing her position as the International
centre OF banking. I this connection
he said:
1.-THE tariff and banking acts will
make the United states more formid-
able competitor than ever as regards
international commerce and our posi-
ton as the centre of international
banking | do not doubt that COM
merce will be stimulated and our trade
with the United States increased to tho
advantage OF both nations.
How far the banking act will AZ
feet the general situation as regards
gold, whether there is not lurking be-
hind the ne' system risk Of possible
imitation, It is too early to say. A
great deal depends on to whom the ad-
ministration of the act is intrusted.
In any case, the great elements Of un-
certainty as regards the tariff and
banking are now removed, and IL, as
seems probable the differences existing
between the government and the cor
poratlons are adjusted equltably new
era Of progress and development seems
to be in store for the United States
which will not fail to be Of vast impor-
lance TO our commerce and TO the
money markets of Europe"

LORD MURRAY TALKS
Contracts Not Monopolies and
Not Inimical to U. S. Interests.

London. Jan. 22.-Lord Murray Of
Elibank has at last broken silence.
Under my instructions" he said
MIR. Anderson recently conducted
negotiations with the government Of
Costa Rica, where the Pearson con-
tract which had been signed with the
Costa RIGA government was defeated in
Congress by majority Of three. II
was freely stated at the time that the
reason for the small adverse majority
was fear on the part Of certain Costa
Rican deputies that granting a con-
tract to a British firm might not be
agreeably regarded in Washington.
"As for the suggestion of a section
of the American press that American
national interests are prejudiced by the
action of Mcssrs Pearson and other
British firms. / can say that in certain
quarters in the United States there has
been q feeling of discomfort in this re-
spect There is. however. every reason
10 believe that il is now appreciated in
Washington that the contracts which |
recently negotiated with the govern
ments Of Colombia. Ecuador and Costa
Rica. not being monopolies. are not
inimical to the interests Of the United
states. When recently in the United
States I met many prominent business
men who expressed the hope that large
British houses would cooperate In de-
veloping the republics of South and
Central America in the neighborhood
of the Panama Canal, and thus bring
increased prosperity and commercial
stability to those regions
