SAYS RING HOLDS
WELSH COAL FIELD
American Interests Prevent
Sales of Product in Can
ada, Is Alleged.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OTTAWA, Ontario, Canada, August
26-That powerful American interests
do not want Welsh coal sold to
Canadian cities is hinted at Toronto.
In fact, there has been considerable
surprise throughout Canada at a
statement made recently by ]. Sander
son of big trading company. that
while he had a hundred thousand tons
of Welsh coal for sale he found II
impossible to sell ton of this Welsh
coal to Toronto dealer" In many
centers the question is being asked:
"Why. when Canadian cities know
there is-no American anthracite
available. are they not investing more
the Welsh coal"'
Toronto Dealers Statement.
The Toronto Telegram quotes a
Toronto dealer as saying: There is
coal ring at Toronto under the con-
troll of American interests. If 1 buy
Welsh coal how do l know that the
American interests won't unload a
ship of soft coal to their ring OF
dealers at 50 ton less than we are
paving for ours. with the result that
we would have our shipment left on
our hands? American interests who
control some of our largest dealers in
Toronto are afraid of the importation
of Welsh coal lest the people in this
country learn to burn soft coal and
form permanent market for British
coal at the expense of the American
operator.
Alleges Americans Grab supply.
That is the reason that Americans
tried to grab every ton of available
coal in Wales, so that if Canada had
to hurn Welsh coal the commodity
would have to come through the
United States dealers. who would still
be able to hold their old customers.
The switching of the Canadian coal
custom from the states to Britain
would be one of the severest blows to
American commerce that could pos
sibly be struck. as it involves a large
amount of money. American coal in
terests have agents working among
Canadian dealers trying to convince
them that American coal will be avail
able in very short time

RAPID CITY, S. D., August 26.-
Four escaped convicts from the Sioux
Falls penitentiary ended their terror
izing drive across South Dakota about
fifty miles east of here late yesterday

The other three convicts were cap
tured after a gun fight in which an
other of their number was wounded.
Henry Coffee, alias Hickman, a
negro, was the convict killed. Joe

gang, was seriously wounded. The
two convicts captured are Joe Teel

ALL MONEY SPENT HERE
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, August 26-The state
ment issued by Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon on the British debt
situation was followed today by
statement from an authoritative
British quarter here, saying in part:
1T is true that with the exception
sf the sum of about $140,000,00
which was lent to the British gov
ernment to be Immediately re-lent to
Russia for the purpose of Russian
dollar expenditures in the United
States. the whole proceeds of the
United States governments advances
to Great Britain We're expended to-
ward meeting Great BritainS eXpen-
ditures in the United States.
But it must at the same time be
remembered that had Great Britain
not been compelled to make advances
to its allies for their expenditures IN
the British empire and neutral coun-
tries. it would have been unnecessary
for it to apply to the United States
government for financial assistance.
Nor must it be forgotten" says
the statement, that early in 1918
Great Britain pressed the United
States government to relieve it Of the
responsibility for financing the al
lies. and offered in return to finance
all its own expenditures in the United
States without borrowing from the
United States government. but the
American government declined to
agree to that proposal"
The statement is prefaced by the
following, observations:
Some Misapprehension.
There appears to be some misap-
prehension regarding the Balfour
notes statement that in substance. II
not in form, the money We borrowed
from the United States government
was borrowed for the use of our al
lies and not for ourselves. Answering
a question in the house Of commons.
October 20. 1921. the chancellor of
the exchequer said: 1 think the sim
plest method of expressing the po-
sition is to say that after the entry
of the United States into the war
this country borrowed from the
United States $4.277 100000 and that
during the period in which the coun-
try was borrowing from the United
States government the British gov
ernment advanced to its allies 1884,
100000 If we had not had to meet
any calls for assistance from our al
lies it would have been unnecess
for US to ask the United States gov
ernments assistance"

said in speaking Of th employment

steadier employment than larger ones.
The leanest years in our recent busi-
ness history have run something like
10 to 25 per cent behind the fattest
year and s to II per cent behind the

Concerns which have given systemst
ic attention TO business cycles have
found their experience profitable, he
said, end that had given hope of a
rapid spread Of better planning.
