GREAT BRITAIN. WANTS
TO WIND UP AFFAIRS
RELATIVE TO DEBTS

LONDON, Feb. 4.-Negotiations rel
ative to an adjustment of Great Brit
aims debt to the United States are in
the hands of Sir Auckland Geddes,
British ambassador in Washington.
and the proposed trip to America OF
Lord Chalmers, permanent secretary
of the treasury, was merely to faclll-
tate the conversations.
This was the explanation given
here yesterday for the postponement
of Lord Chalmers visit to the United
States during the absence OF Ambas-
sador Geddes 1t was declared il
logical to suppose that he was in a
position to offer any proposals rela-
tive to the negotiations, since the gov
ernment had deemed it desirable for
him to remain here until the return
of Sir Auckland to Washington.
Negotiations Pigeonhoied.
Under Liberty loan enactments.'
the Associated Press was told. the
Am 3rican treasury was empowered
to float loans and to make advances
to the allies. Negotiations have been
going on with the United States gov
ernment ever since the armistice, but
have been pigeonholed for some time
because of the urgensy of other mat
ters such as reparations and domestic
finances, with which the treasury has
been busy. The fact that negotla-
tions have been going on, apparently
was the basis of reports that Lord
Chalmers would go to America and
propose the conversion OF the British
debt to the United States into five per
cent bonds maturing in 1898 and 1947.
The delegation of Lord Chalmers to
go to America. however may be taken
as an Indication Of the British to wind
LID affairs"

DAIRYMEN PROTEST
RULING BY PALMER
ON BUTTER BRANDING
r&LI.AD!UM NEWS BURExr

PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Dairymen
and creamery companies in Wayne
and other eastern Indiana counties
are filing protests over a ruling made
by Attorney General Palmer that
butter manufactured from cream.
the sourness of whicl1 X reduced by al
kali with lime-water in it, must be
branded 'adulterated' and pay a gov
ernment tax of 10 cents per pound,
effective Feb. I, 1921"
One of the largest creamery COM
panies in Wayne county complains
that if the ruling stands it will work
sumers.
Theodore G. Davis of Greensboro.
Ind, president of the Wayne County
Farm bureau. writes:
''If such a ruling stands it will
amount almost to calamity to the
dairy industry in the central states as
nearly all our dairies and creameries
would be affected. The price of but
ter made on the farm would be indi-
rectly affected as it is gagged by the
price of butterfat at the creamery
Nixon a Candidate.
Indiana has a candidate for the Of
flee of public printer, head of the gov
ernment printing office in Washing
ton. in the person of Lee Nixon of In
dianapolis. Mr.. Nixon is a we'll known
newspaper man and has been active in
Republican politics in Indiana. At one
time he resided in Cambridge City and
at other times was engaged in news
paper work both in Newcastle, Ind,
and in Rushville, Ind.
A buttermaking authority, COM
menting on the ruling, said: attorney
General Palmer had no option. could
have done no differently. under the
law as it stands The fault lies in
the improper drafting of the law.
1T has always been the custom for
creameries to sweeten cream with
lime water, in order to make good but
ter. When the farmers bring in the
cream, it is of all degrees of acidity.
while for good butter the cream must
all be uniform and slightly acid, but
not too sour. Lime water is added to
make the right degree of acidity.
"lf this ruling is enforced it will de-
moralze the dairy industry. Such but
ter as We have been making will cost
ten cents a pound more, though no
better than now; while butter which
has not had what this ruling refers to
as 'adulteration' will not be fit to eat"
William Buckland, director of the
Milk Producers association, said:
This probably would have an import
ant effect on our prices and we will
consider it at our Saturday meeting"
Walter Test. secretary of the same
association, stated that though the
association was one of the milk pro-
ducers, this tax would have an effect
on butterfat prices which would be re-
