to state it's attitude toward the econo-
mic Conference ia Paris and take steps
in the direction of trade preference within
the Empire and a preferential arrange
ment with the Allies. Mr.. j. Austen Cham
berlain, in replying, made a significant
speech, which seemed to foreshadow some
kind OF an economic agreement among the
different parties in the House of Commons.
Like Mr.. HeWins, he warned the House that
it would be unwise 10 count upon the rapid
economic exhaustion of Germany, and declar-
ed that it would be much better for Great
Britain to build on her own strength than
on Germany's weakness. Great Britain's
tremendous financial resources as compared
with Gormany's were worth remarking how
ever, added Mr.. Chamberlain, as was the fact
that Great Britain seemed to be bearing the
burden without undue strain as was proved by
the buOyant taxation returns. The nation
was using up it's capital, however, f)r war
purposes, while neutral countries through
large profits made at the expense of The
belllgerents were accommodating resources to
compete with this nation after the war.
How far the opposing political parties could
agree upon a common after the war policy
was an interesting question. "We have made
an immense advance toward an agreement.
And alta time like this, l would not like to
consider myself bound to the exact princi-
pies advocated before the war;. Mr.. Cham
berlain said be could make no statement about
the Paris Conference except that Great
Britain's representatives would go unbound
by any rigid school of economic thought.

HENRY JAMES IS
DEAD IN LONDON
Famous Novelist Was Born in
America But Turns Brit
iSh in 1915.

LONDON. Feb. 29.-Henry James,
the novelist, 20 years old. died Mon
day.
Henry James was born an Amer
lean. but died a British subject. In
July, 1915. he took the oath of all
legiance to the crown. explaining
that he had lived and worked in
England for 40 years and had de-
vclOped such an attachment for the
country and sympathy with its peo-
pie that he desired TO throw his NOR
al weight and personal allegiance
into the British cause in the Eu-
ropeau war.
The distinguished novelist. critic
and playwright was born in New
York, April 10. 1S43 His father.
Henry James, ST., was noted as a
writer on ethics and religion; and his
younger brother, William, was later
to become distinguished as a psy-
biologist. The family was possessed
Of an ample fortune, the foundation
Of which was laid by the novelist
grandfather, Of SCotch-Irish decent,
who migrated from Ulster soon after
the revolutionary war and became a
successful merchant at Albany, y. Y.
Work Unpopular In America.
Mr.. James work was never as
popular in America as it was in Eng
land. but he had many admirers in
his native country and even his crit
les ranked him as one of the most
plasterful writer's of the past genera
ton. His writings were of the ana
iytical and metaphysical school Of
uovelists and the full understandings
of his work was a matter of endless
controversy. To understand Henry
James. was, in the popular view,
the gift of only a privileged few.
The fact that Mr.. James was al
ways Independent of the need of ca
tering to what the public wanted.

abled him to adhere religiously 20

Eardless Of how popular they might
