l. s. ENERGETIC DEALING WITH
 ITS PROBLEMS

LONDON, April (by Associated Press) America is dealing with the problem of reconstruction and the restoration of trade more energetical- ly and more successfully than is the case in England, Sir Algernon Firth, former president of the Association of British Chambers of Commerce, declares in a Times interview Sir Algernon has returned recently from his 51st visit to the United States.
 Among factors cited as to American advantage in the situation, the Brit ish 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 iu the United States he said, are accepting wage reduc- tions of as much as B 1-3 per cent in order to enable manufacturers to turn out goods at prices which the pub lie would pay. He said if this move ment went much further it would mean that the United tSates would soon be in strong position in the matter of exporting goods and would be able to secure business that would otherwise 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 opin- ion that trade would improve ia America toward April, based on the fact that bottom prices were being reached, promising restored confi- dence 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 ques- tion of taroffs because of the two creditor position of the United States.

of the Honorable End Member for Chris

man to put same to the vote.
LIST Member for Fie~deriksted Country
District (AmderSen) remarked: Mr..
Chairman. My understanding of the
resolution is, all the Council has to do is
to appoint a commission, and ali the talk
ing necessary will be done among the
commission members; therefore it needs
very little discussion in the Council. In
so far as that goes, iC doesn't make any
difference whether the matter is discus
ed in open doors or not.
End Member for ChristjanSted Town

My views are different to that Of the
Honorable 1st. Member for Frederiksted

Gil will decide whether it will have a
commission or not. This resolution is
not a final thing; it is merely to initiate
discussion.

Mr.. Chairman. If l understand right,
the Honorable 1st Member for Frederik-

point the commission without much dis,
cussion here in the Council? That would
be an unusual procedure.
