AMERICAN SUPPLIES

Government Cannot Be6ln DlS-

London, April 20 (Correspoiiuellce of Tho Associated Press. )-Dlsposl- tion of American Army suppii0' ''i Eng1and will be 8 big and coh1t'N- cated task. Owing to the na'ui0 Vt certain contracts and an aereoi with tho British government, the Al iAis cannot begin selling materlai . least a month yet, in the opili1o Army officers, but they are prepa s the way now. Some materlal 0'ii being delivered to the Army ilA10 other contracts are held m apeS pending settlement.
 When the United States entered Illo war it was agreed that all coii'l e'oI1 for supplies should be made LII ol'7 the British government It aiao agreed that at the terhl4lie''io hostilities the United States Shoulu ,,o' sell material without, consent oA '
 British government nor could any " the contracts arranged through 'iio British be cancelled except py n0so tiations through that government
 Even if there are some delays 'fie United States doubtless Will proll' oii many of it's sales. No agreelneh' could be reached with the firm "hlch held a contract to deliver to the Amer ican Army about 200 huge gasoline tanks for use in France. DehVery IS continuing but it is not worrying u1lartermaster officers, as the Army al-- ready has been offered more than the contract price for the lot. With some other material the same situation op- tains.
 The work of settling unfinished con- tracts is progressing, but British offl- cials are unwilling for huge amount of material to be suddenly dumped on the market, notwithstanding there is an insistent demand for some of it at inflated prices British officials say there is no desire whatever to deprive of an advantageous mar ket but they argue that they also must consider the disposal of the enor- nous amount of British Army SUD- plies stored in England.
 The American Red Cross had no agreement with the British govern ment and recently disposed of a lot of motor equipment for approximately 1850. The purchase price was SPA. 300 and the equipment had been in use a year. Any kind of a motor is in great demand in England
 No record has been kept of the total amount of contracts allotted for the Am erican Army in Great Britain, but, like everything in the war, it was measured in huge figures It is estimated, however, that the ordnance contracts alone amounted to about $500, 900, 900. Much of this, of course will not bring as good returns as the materials coming under jurisdiction of the quartermaster's departm
