AMERICANS LEAD . IN RECONSTRUCTION sWOrkmen, British Expert Says, Are More Energetic Than
 the English ToiIers
By Associated Press

London, March 19.-America is dealing with the problem of reconstruction and the restoration of trade more energet- ically and more successfully than is tn } case in England, Sir Algernon Firth, for nier president of the Association of Brit ish Chambers of Commerce, declares in Times interview Sir Algernon has re- turned recently from his fifty-first visit to the Cnted States.
 Among factors cited as to American advantage in the situation, the British business man states, were a more rapid reduction of values than in England and cooperation of labor in reducing the costs of production.
 Mill workers in the United States, he said, are accepting wage reductions Of as much as B 1-3 per cent, in order to enable manufacturers to turn out goods at prices which the public will pay. He said if this movement went much further it would mean that the United States would soon be in a strong position in the matter of exporting goods and would be able to secure business that would other wise come to Great Britain.
 American hours of work were about the same as, those in England, he stated. but the men worked much harder while they were in the mills.
 Sir Algernon expressed an opinion that trade would improve in America toward April, based on the fact that bottom prices were being reached, promising re- stored confidence and increased buying. He urged open and frank dealing with Americans and cooperation between the two nations. He said he did not attach much importance to the question of tar ifs, because of the creditor position Of the United States
