Secretary Glass ''GO To Work"
Advice Well Taken.
Discharges England Uber
Allies" Idea.
MAY HELP EXCHANGE PROBLEM
Shut Down on U. S. Loans
Means More Thrift.
Europe Settles Down to More
Sane Financial Basis.

London, Feb. 3.-America's refusal
to take Europe's financial burdens is
not causing apprehension in British
governmental circles despite the We
hement outbursts in a section of the
press, it was learned authoritatively
today.
British officials while regretting
Am rica's delay in ratification of the
peace treaty, were confident that the
United States will eventually become
a party to the Versailles pact and the
League Of Nations.
The present situation. they pointed
out, is much the same as that existing
before the Gnited States entered the
war. The plight of Europe, especially
her smaller nations, officials said,
could well be compared to the days
preceding Americas war declaration.
Only now, instead of German militar-
ism, it is financial ruin that threatens.
Praise Glass Letter.
The position of Great Britain. off
cials said, frankly, was far better than
il was in the pre-American war days.
The 5ingoism in a section of the press,
they said, was not representative of
the government.
Secretary Glass in substance telling
Europe to "get to work" has met
praise in many quarters it was pointed
out
Great Britain realizes. officials said.
the time for charity has passed and
that hard work, self sacrifice and re-
iance upon the basic economic laws
IS Europes only solution for her pres
ent situation.
Financiers pointed out the bugbear
of BoisheviSm no longer is being used
MS an argument for rushing financial
assistance to the embryonic republics
which are threatened. Even govern
ment officials. they said, now are de-
manding reasonable securities for
funds disbursed, while private capital
is getting an ear to its demand for a
free hand and restoration of pre-war
prerogatives which business men con-
slider necessary before the law of sup
ply and demand can become operative.
Representatives of one school of
economists even went so far as to say
the present exchange situation will be
found beneficial to Great Britain in
asmuch as adversely is to a certain ex-
tent desirable to teach economy and
the fallacy of the tendency toward a
business attitude of England ueber
allies"

them with regard to various steps.
Accused Is Nervous.
Newberry, sitting in the rear of the
court room, was noticeably affected by
Daileys statement. His face flushed
and twisted hervously as the prosecu-
tor denounced his activities.
