Mark-See Amity Fos-
tered by Trip.

The seventeen members Of the dele
manufacturers that arrived here on the
steamship Baltic last Monday were the
guests at luncheon given yesterday in
the Bankers Club. 120 Broadway. by
the British Empire Chamber of Com
merce. w. Thow Munro of Edinburgh.
head of the delegation, explained that
the manufacturers are travelling as rep
resentatives of the Scottish Woolen
Trade Mark Association, Ltd. which
was formed two years ago to protect
the genuine Scotch wooden trade from
shoddy limitations.
II believe this visit" said Mr. Munro
viii do something to bring the bust
ness men OF great empire and a great
republic together. Five minutes Of con-
versation win bring men closer to each
other than five years of correspondence
When l was in this country six months
ago l could not help noticing dis
tressing amount of anti-British feeling.
put now that the cause Of that feeling
happily has been removed. we may hope
that 1t will disappear soon."
The Scottish Woolen Trade Mark
Association, Mr.. Munro explained, is
made up of thirty-five Of the most i'm
portant firms in Scotland. They control
about 80 per cent. OF the entire wooden
output OF Scotland. and many have been
IN business for hundreds of years.
I'VE make a particular class Of goods
that appeals to the higher class of
trade" said Mr.. Munro. We don't want
to try to meet the demands of the bulk
market, and we have consistently re-
pulsed all suggestions that we try to
meet such a demand AS it is. Scotch
goods are held UP all over the world
as of the highest class. and bulk trade
would mean disaster
Naturally. flock of iInitators has
arisen, and with their so-called Scotch
woolens. which are not Scotch woolens,
they began to have harmful influence.
Hence our association was formed for
one purpose. and for one purpose only
to administer trade mark which iden-
tiies our goods as the pure woolens
from Scotland. We already have spent
f75.000 advertising that trade mark In
England and Scotland, and we intend
TO carry it much further. The trade
mark is registered and fully covered
in more than seventy countries"
Edward Il. Darrell. president Of the
British Empire Chamber OF Commerce
IN the United States. presided. That
chamber. by the way, is a little less
than one year old and has 800 members.
Other speakers were Sir Arthur Shirley
Benns of London, president Of the As
sociated Chambers of Commerce Of
England; Walter w. Price, broker of
this city, and Capt. Gloster Armstrong,
British Consul General.
Sir Arthur. who has spent much of his
time in this country for many years,
said he had just returned from trip
TO the Southern States. where he found
the business outlook distinctly encour-
aging.
There is no part OF America" said
Sir Arthur, where Bolshevism and
Communism have as little chance as In
the Southern States. With their great
resources and their wonderful spirit you
i,ay expect big business revival-and
soon. That is one place where the
people are at work."
