BRITISH DISCUSS
AMERICA'SSTAND
Refusal to Consider Cancella-
tion of Debt Provokes
Heated Arguments.

LONDON, Feb. 5.-The speech OF
J. Austen Chamberlain, chancellor
OF the eN-Chequer, in Birming-
ham, in which he revealed that the
United States had refused to con-
slider a proposal for a total or par
tial cancellation OF interallied and
associated debts. provoked heated
discussions throughout the country
today.
American business men here en-
phasized that Great Britain would
make great gains through such a
move, even though II cancelled
larger total debts than its own.
They pointed out that the British
got valuable commercial and econ
omic concessions through many of
these loans of American money to
the other allies, which the British
would retail. At the same time
they said that the United States
would be cancelling good debt
while Great Britain would be can
ceiling some she couldn't collect
anyway"
\ Referring TO Chamberlain's speecn.
the Westminster Gazette said to-
day: The cancellation Of war
debts is side tracked but remains as
the best form of relief the allies can
give each other. We are glad that
Great Britain made the offer in
such a way that it precludes a re-
tort. She did it for uninterested
motives. Perhaps it is too much to
expect Americans to be converted to
this very practical application of
the doctrine of world solidarity. 1t
is not for US to criticize them for
their refusal"

SOUTHERN WHEAT
HURTS U.S S. CROP
From South America
Offered Below Prices
From America.

Wheat prices are being Influenced
by competition. from the crops of
the Southern hemisphere, which are
said to be offered in Europe at con-
siderably less than United States
prices, says Thomson and McKinnon
in their weekly review issued at
the close of yesterdays market
1t is recalled that competition
from Canada was an important fac
tor in the market during the early
part of the crop year. The situa-
tion at home is entirely ignored be-
cause of these competitive offerings
and because the thought of the re-
cent business depression still exists
in the minds of many.
''As to the amount of reserves re-
naming in this country, statistiCians
all agree except upon the question
of domestic consumption. many be-
lieving that economy is being prac-
ticed. From the standpoint that
the American public was dissatisfied
with the substitutes and mixtures
enforced by war regulations, it may
be argued that the present rate of
consumption per capita has not been
diminished. Accepting this view. it
will be found that there is a very
small, II any, surplus over and above
home requirements to provide for
such new foreign demand as will
undoubtedly appear despite the
cheaper offerings from the other
countries.
Even now, when Southern hem
isphere wheat is quoted on paper at
10 to Is cents cheaper than United
States sorts, there is a moderate
amount of new demand from the
European continent appearing in
each days market. "a few com
plants OF alternate freezing and
thawing are coming from the win
ter wheat section, but they are not
general. In the extreme Southwest
the growth is preuaturely early
and reports of the appearance OF
damage, possibly from insects. are
beginning to appear. Supplies at
interior stations are generally re-
ported as light"

BRITAIN EXPECTS
TAXATION "CUT"
Additional Burdens Would
Wreck Many Businesses,
Officials Declare.

LONQON. Feb. 5.-tireat Britain
was told today to expect a reduc-
tion in taxation this year.
The government was faced by a
paradoXical situation in which fur
ther taxation would reduce the ma
tional income. 1t was declared that
additional burdens would wreck SC
many business that returns would
beismaller than with a moderate as
sessment.
Austen Chamberlain. chancellor
Of the eXchequer, gave the notice
that taxes will be lowered in the
next budget, the excess profits tax
being the first wiped out.
Newspapers agreed that the de-
cision will be hailed with general
satisfaction by business concerns
and that it's effect should be no.
ticeable Immediately. Business has
been hard pressed. it was declared
and the situation so muddled tina;
the wonder was commerce had made
any progress whatever.
The Times gave the government
little credit for announcing the re-
duction, declaring the. tax had
ceased to yield as well as before and
that it might soon become a heavy
liability through refunding prov,-
sions.
The Daily Mail also withheld
credit from officials, declaring any
further taxes now would reduce rev.
enue because they would wreck
business

STEEL OPERATION
ONLY TEMPORARY
Resumption by Independents
Seen as Transient in
Character.

There is not much to be said of
the developments in the steel situa-
tion during the past week. Some
slight increase in operations of in
dependent plants took place, but
this is believed to be only tempor-
AIRY to take care of deliveries which
had been promised for this month,
and unless there is an increase in
the buying these mills will be COM
PEELED to again reduce their produc-
tion in a comparatively short time
The plants of the United States
Steel Corporation continue to oper-
ate at a satisfactory rate, due to
the fact that the leading interest
has a large untitled tonnage on its
books and will berin a position to
operate for many months even if no
new orders were placed with it.
Therefore the leading interest has
not curtailed to any extent as yet.
The untitled orders of the corpora
tion as of January 81, last, will be
made public next Thursday and al
though a substantial decrease is ex-
pected, it is the general opinion that
the falling off will not be as large
as in the previous month when there
was a drop considerably in excess
of 100000 tons.
So far as prices are concerned,
the attitude of the management of
the Steel Corporation is we'll known.
1t has always worked for stability
and its policy is not likely to be
changed. Especially on the advances
has the corporation adhered closely
to it's established figures, but it will
find it necessary to cut prices when
the independents take the lead be-
cause it could not expect to share
in the going business without meet
ing the levels of it's competitors.
There will be much talk about
this phase of the steel situation
from time to time in the future, and
technical denials will be made of
the probabilities of wage cuts and
price reductions, but studen are
agreed that such steps will be taken
eventually, unless there is a sudden
revival of steel buying on a .scale
which does not appear possible
under the conditions prevailing at
present. ~ a.. .- -fr.
There were further offerings of
tool steel manufactured. in Ger
many. Importers in this country
have sold quite a fair quantity for
delivery upon arrival in this country
at SIS cents per pound This COM
pares with 81 ner pound asked by
makers in the, United States. Nat
urafly this has caused some feeling
of uncertainty among makers of
high speed tool steel in this country.

Bank of EngLands
Reserve Ratio Declines

While the statement of the Bank
of England. issued on Thursday,
February ,, shows an increase for
the week in gold coin and bullion
holdings Of $3.50, the reserve ratio
declined 1854 per cent, Last week
the proportion of the banks reserve
liabilities was 14.1S per cent; two
weeks ago it was 1887 per cent.
The highest reserve percentage OF
1920 was 1880 on March II; the
lowest 7.3O on December 80.
The banks official minimum dis
count rate was left unchanged at :
per cent at which it has stood since
April Is, 1920. A year ago it was 6
per cent, having been advanced to
that rate on November s, 1919. At
this same period in 1919 and 1918 it
was per cent against 5I4 in 1917,
in 1916 and 1915, and per cent
in 1914.

There were a number Of impor,.

the leading authorities are Of IN.
opinion that when the various rls,,
now being formulated are finally
completed the effects on thr iDsp.-
try generally will be highly b.n,-
hcisl and bring about a de-i,Is5
change for the better.
By far the most important pron,-
sition is the financing Of a gurnrv.

metal through banking arrange
ments. While all the details nav.
not been worked out Il is p!ap,,s
Ia have a syndicate Of hsnkerE tai,

This would mean 10 cents D.r

&lE arrangements. The 400 100 Obo
pounds Of copper would be held Tor
expert from the country. and ss fhs
metal is purchased aLd paid for b,.
the foreign buyers the notes or de-
bentures would be retired and the
funds remaining would be turra5
over &c the Copper Export Associs
tion. This balance would be the dif-
ference between 10 cents per pound
and whatever price is pstI for The
c~pper.

A copper institute would embrace
the producers, selling orEantzs-
tions, consumers and manufacturer
using copper for their finished pro

State or national laws as no at

so far as can be aScertsined, having
been at l2z cents per pound
These were made by q number OF
the smaller dealers who have been
Offering at that figure. The lead
ing producing and selling interests
are quoting Is cents per pound, bul
this figure is entirely nominal and
no business has been done.
Talk has again been heard Of q

ever, none Of the leading authorities
has been willing 20 discuss this
