Chicag0.-President Lynn Harold
Hough of Northwestern university re-
Gently returned frem England. where
he spent the summer speaking in lead
ing churches and holding conferences
with many educational and intellectu-
al leaders.
In reply to question as to the
attitude of England toward America
President Hough said: "The typical
Englishman of serious and informed
mind believes very profoundly in Anglo
American friendship. Many men such
as Mr.. Fisher, the president of the
English board Of education, have been
ready to express their belief that 1t
Is the hepe of the world. There is
widespread anxiety about the econom-
ic situation. With a great debt TO
America and the balance of trade the
wrong way, many Englishmen are very
grave as they speak of the outcome.
In England with population OF over
forty millions there is the possibility
of producing food for something like
thirteen millions. The rest Of the food
must in the long run come from ex-
change for English products which
other countries desire.
Would Cancel War Debt.
"Some men feel that if America
would cancel the war debt of Britain
it would be de isive step in pro-
ducing the right situation. They feel
that America came into the war late,
and such treatment of Britain and the
other allies would be noble cOntri-
button of wealth from nation which
did not, as events unfolded, have TO
make so large sacrifice of men as
did Britain and France. Some men
with q dash of adventure in their es-
innate of the situation take the view
that the dangers are overestimated
and that England will quickly recuper-
ate. ] heard Lord Beaverbrook. who
was on the Mauretania going over, ex-
press this view. 1t is probable that a
matter about which little has been
said win influence the actual outcome.
England has had long and success
full experience in international bank
ing, and before even resourceful
Americans learn the psychological
trick of 1t, Britain will probably he
competing with America on more even
terms. And this is to the advantage
of America. No business man able
to look into the future would want to
break down England's fundamental
economic strength even If such thing
were possible"
Labor Unrest In England.
When asked about the labor unrest
in England DR.. Hough replied: "At
fines this summer the situation has
been very grave indeed. But m
American needs to remember three
things if he would estimate it wisely.
The first is that there is a funda-

.BELD|NG|TES TO
HAVE GOOD TIME
AS G. R. VISITORS
EXPECT $50 LOCAL PEOPLE TO
GO AS GUESTS OF FURNI-
TURE CITY FOLK

Plans are just about completed for
the trip which the Belding business
men, women and others are going to
take to Grand Rapids on Thursday,
June &c and it is expected that fully
$50 people will get together that
morning and make the journey to the
Furniture City where they will be
the guests of the association OF ccm-
merce for the day.
All during the summer the people
from various places in the state have
ben journeying to Grand Rapids and
have been the guests of the men down
there. The trips have been mainly in
the nature Of trade building and stim-
ulating excursions and from each
town which has so far visited the
western Michigan Metropolis, a good
ly number of automobiles loaded with
people have gone down.
Greenville people went down few
weeks ago and they had a great time
and, the program of the day which the
Grand Rapids fellows had prepares
for them was largely enjoyed. Yes
terdty Mt. Pleasant people went down
and took in the sights. Fremont,
Newavgo and other far distant towns
sent big delegations down and be-
cause of the fact that Belding is sit
uated within but few miles of Grand
Rapids, it ought to have the largest
number of any towns yet represented
in Grand Rapids on one of these occa-
sions.
Plan on gcing on the trip with US
and be there ready to start with your
automobile on Thursday, June 26. The
start will be made from the city hall
at about nine o'clock and you are in
vited. business men, women and all
members of the board of commerce.

ROAD FROM HEREu'
TO GRAND RAPIDS
CLAIM 4 MILE STRETCH WEST
OF TOWN MAY BE con-
STRUCTED THIS YEAR

Good roads enthusiasts are circu-
lating a petition to State Highway
Commissioner Rogers asking that he
cause the stretch CT road between
this city and Grand Rapids, which is
certainly one the main travelled
roads through the state, to be includ-
ed in the truck line roads which it is
proposed to build out CT the fund
created by the raising of $50,000,000
which it was voted to raise for this
purpose, at the last election.
1t is generally accepted that the Pc
tition will bring home the bacon as
the saying is and everybody who is
interested here thinks that the road
will be built soon. The first four or
FIVE miles of the way west of this city
and between here and Grattan, will
be built this year it is claimed. This
is the poorest stretch of read between
here and Grand Rapids and with it re-
placed by a concrete road, the sailing
would be fairly smooth between here
and the Furniture city. The balance
Of the road is in very good condition
and would undoubtedly not be replac-
ed until it is in need cf repairs.

When completed the road would
eventually run from Greenville to this
city and then to Grand Rapids and
would be practically the only trunk
line road to be taken up in these
parts until the county road commits
