Tone
I'm London ON
Jobless Plan
Better Sentiment Is Laid
TO Relief Over Fact No
Radical Measures We're
Offered by Lloyd George
From Tho Tribune's European Bureou

Copyright. 1921, New York Tribune Inc.
LONDON, Oct. 23.-The govern
ments announcement of a scheme to
stimulate trade and reduce unemploy-
ment has produced only minor re-
actions SO far. Financial interests
seem fairly we'll satisfied with the plan.
but the moro cheerful tone of the
stock market is attributable to sheer
relief over the fact that the proposals
contained nothing extremely radical.
Labor leaders, as might have been
expected, are dissatisfied with the
scheme, as they consider it only pallia-
tive instead Of radical treatment Of
serious national ailment. The net
result has been a slight but unques-
tlonable Improvement in the general
situation.
Premier Lloyd George placed espe-
cial emphasis in his Parliament speech
on the fact that a reorganization or
revival must be gradual and--unfor-
tlnately-slow. That is the view of
all responsible observers, and some of
them are not nearly so optimistic as
the Premier.
The Improvement after the Napol-
comic wars-the period Mr.. Lloyd
George described as paralleling the
present-was extremely slow and dis
couraging.
In the long debate which followed
the Premier's speech much was said
by members Of the various political
groups regarding the necessity of the
government taking into account the
question of the ability of the foreigner
to buy. These speakers urged the
government to work for peaceful set
tlement Of relations between Great
Britain and countries which ordinarily
provide market for British goods.
Russia and Central Europe were the
regions referred to by most members
of Parliament
Exchanges continue to arouse inter
ett and inspire wild speculation. The
tremendous depreciation of the mark
has proved costly to many Brtons,
especially soldiers, who we're heavy
buyers in the last two years. The effect
OF the bewildering fluctuations has been
especially apparent in trade circles, and
British exporters and importers have
been compelled to call halt to their
transactions not only with Germany but
with France and Italy as we'll.
No satisfactory explanation of the
improvement of Che pound has been
offered, although there is full appre-
citation here Of the unsettlsment of
economic and industrial conditions in
America.
Needless to say there is much disap-
pointment here over Washingtons at
titude on cancellation of war debts, but
only good can come from the action of
Congress in taking charge Of the ques-
tlon. So long as there is only an in
definite official statement of the Amet-
lean governments view false hopes are
bound to be formed, and they would pe
injurious not only to international re-
lations but to business generally.
However, it would be foolish to i'm
agine that the question is now shelved
indefinitely. 1t will be raised again.

delegates are in WASHINGTON.
