AMERICAN
JARS BRITISH BY
SHARP COMMENT
Tells Them He Is Sorry for
Eng|and's Trade Decline,
But Business Is
Business" -
BY EARL c. REEVES.
International News Service Staff
C0PPelnOndAnt

London, Oct. 18.-One Of the
straightest messages that American
business has delivered its British
cousin during all the recent months
of fears regarding the American in
vasion" was brought to England by
Sir Herbert Rowell, a member of the
advisory council OF the ministry OF
reconstruction.
! It was given him by an American
shipowner as follows:
Sorry for British.
people such as myself, who be-
gan life as British boys, cannot help
feeling sorry for Britain's decline,
but as American citizens and bust
ness men we intend to take every
advantage of it. We reckon that
you have practically lost the coat
export trade"
The "hurtful" thing about this
message from American "big busi-
ness" is that it speaks of Britain's
decline as already an accepted fact.
as actual, not merely threatened.
Big business in Britain hasn't
reached the stage yet of facing the
decline as actual" All the dis
cussions are based on the danger OF
decline in British foreign trade.
Yet the newspapers are full OF
news of American achievement in
the trade field. The Daily Mail es-
timated that the orders waiting and
filling on the continent of Europe
today total $3,s00,000,000 Europe's
immediate needs in food materials,
supplies, clothing, machinery and
other products are more than $3,000,-
100000.
And England must sell for cash,
refusing to extend credit. America
is extending wide credit to conti-
mental buyers, and America is get
ting the business.
Reasons for Loss.
The Daily Mail summarizes the
reasons for England's lost trade as
follows, -
l. Transport Reorganization, due
to lack Of railway wagons and en-
gines and slowing down work at the
docks and on the railways.
q. High prices of raw materials.
especially coal, upon which this
country depends for the motive
power Of industry.
8. Labor unrest, which makes II
impossible to quote firm prices for
goods sold abroad.
4. Cessation Of credits to France.
Belgium and Italy, which are buy
ing in the cheaper German market
or taking credit from the United
States.
s. Taxation, which is taking half
of all incomes over $4,000 a year,
making it impossible for men to
develop their business.
6. High rates of interest or CAPT.
tai, which are hampering the devel-
opment of new industries started
during the war, which should now
kets.
All these things mean high prices,
and high prices mean underselling
by America, Japan and Germany.

Wins Lover With Dice,
But Goes Crazy as He
Nouns Rivals Death
BY Universal Service.

Mdrid, Oct. l8-The love Of two
Gijon fisher girls for Isidro Lafu-
ente, young blacksmith, has had a
tragic ending.
The girls resolved to resort to 4
throw of dice to determine who
should be the sweetheart of the
blacksmith, who, by the way, was
entirely ignorant Of being the cause
of this strange ordeal.
Girl Loser browns.
Twenty-two-year-old Isabel Car
rena threw the lower number and
Immediately renounced her claim to
the blacksmith in favor of her rival,
Louisa Garcia, who is Is.
A violent gale ragged next morning
and, at the height of it, Isabel Car
rrena was seen to put to sea in q.
frail skiff. The craft was soon in
difficulties, but the girl managed to
navigate for some time. Then a
great wave struck the skiff, which
sank before the eyes of a large num-
Der of spectators on the beach. Any
attempt at rescue was impossible,
and the girl persisted. .
Blacksmith Renounces Love.
A letter she had left at her home
disclosed the reason for her mad
act. She stated in this letter that,
having lost her claim to the black
smiths love, there was only one
thing for her to do-to die.
The blacksmith now AYERS that he
was in love with the dead girl and
that on no account will he have any
thing to do with Louisa Garcia.
This has had the effect of derang-
ing Louisa Garcia's mind and she is
now undergoing treatment for in
sanity.

Butter Shortage in England.

London, Oct. l8-The reason
why English people have been re-

today, with the announcement that
imports of butter, for the year ended
June 80, were 10000 tons as COM
pared with 100000 in an average
year before the war. 1t may be two
years before the supply will reach

compared with about IS cents in
