IMPORTERS ARE IN FAVOR
OF A TAX WAR ON BRITISH

that Ghc entire matter has been involved
in red tape. Sir Edward Grey In not
personally blamed. but it Ii believed the
United States importers are being made
the victims of the Foreign Office routine
and possible resentment on the part Of
minor officials in London because WASH
ington. at the instance of the State De
partment, was made the sole channel
through which these claims may be
presented.
There have been Indications that
through access to subordinate officials
in London special fayors were secured
from the British Government by several
interests before the state department
stepped in and complained that thc prac-
tice of granting permits direct from the
London Foreign ONCE amounted 10 par
TALLY against American importers who
failed to send personal representatives
10 London and pay counsel fees.
The state Department Is making per
sistent efforts N cooperation with the
British Embassy to have the British
Government consent to the embassy IT.
self being given final authority to pass
on all applications for rcleasesof goods

tered into before March !. State he
partment officials hope that eventually
an agreement will De obained from the
British Government for some arrange
ment which will eliminate the present
ediou practice Of sending everything to
London for final approval.
There II one feature of the situation
that importers representatives in Wash
ington are discussing with a good deal
OF interest. They point out that william
w. Bride resigned from the trade ad-
visers bureau In the State Department.
where he had been working on these
cases; went to London and within a
short time obtained not only the release
OF 10000. 900 In goods. but substantial
concessions from the British officials.

also laces from Plauen, whose only com
petitor is st. Gall. Switzerland. Other
im%portations include glassware and
cheap jewelry, but no cutlery braves the
blockade, no linens. and little cotton
goods.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-11-13

Importers cannot understand why the
state Department could not have sent
Mr.. Bride. for instance, or some other
representative from the foreign trade
bureau directly to London with the
necessary evidence and obtain Just as
prompt action as was accorded to this
young lawyer serving In "a private ca
pacity. Importers argue that 4! MIR.
Bride could have accomplished this after
he resigned from the state Department
for private interests he probably could
have don the same thing II he had
been sent forward by the state Depart
NEST.
Importers do not believe that the en-
barrassments OF this Government through
being obliged 10 act In an unofficial
capacity In this matter would have been
sufficient to have prevented the obtain
ing Of favorable results, for Great
Britain already had indicated her willing
ness to regard the negotiations as of an
unofficial character and free from con-
mltting tho United States to any
icquiescence In the British orders In
council.
On behalf Of the State Department,
however. IL should be said tina they
have been experiencing considerable
difficulty with importers themselves.
Many have failed to present satisfactory
| proof OF ownership or contract OF sale,
and this has necessitated correspondence
not only between tho state Department
and the importers. but between the
British authorities and the State De-
partment.

A WORD FOR MOTHERS

tits grave mistake for mothers to neg
1ect their aches and pains and suffer in
silence-this only leads to chronic sick
ness and often shortens life.
If your work is firing; if your nerves are
excitable; if you feel languid, weary or
depressed, you should know that SCOTS
Emulsion overcomes just such conditions.
1t possesses in concentrated form the
very elements to invigorate the blood,
strengthen the tissues, nourish the nerves
and build strength.
SCOTS is strengthening thousands OF
mothers-and will help you. No alcohol.
