London. Aug. 18th. The lockers strike
in London has lasted six weeks now, vet
the food prices have not been affected,
as the supplies come freely through
Southampton, where the lockers have
raised no objection to the unloading of
vessels which have been diverted from
London. What seems to keep the strike
going in London is the scale of the poor
law relief. In Poplar and Bermondsey
the poor law guardians are PAYING any
thing up 10 50 ShiIlingS a week as a dole.
The poor law rates compare so favour
ably with dock wages that men actually
are better off by drawing the dole than
if they were employed 3 or 4 DAYS a
week, the usual run Of dock employment.
The strike in fact is virtually SubSicised
by the local taxes that are paid to keep
up the dele. A large body of the "a a
payers prof. O5e 10 make representa- ions

London, Aug. I1th, Mr. Baldwin. on
Friday, expressed complete approval Of
the International Trade Commissions
proposal for the settlement Of reparations
and inter-Alljed debts, following a con
ference with DR.. Clarence w. Owens.
President of the Commission. and
Senator Ralph Metcalf, Secretary, who
explained the scheme by which they be-
lieved the financial troubles of Europe
might be overcome. DR.. Owens and Sena-
tor Metcalf were sent to Europe on be-
half of the Southern Trade Congress. for
the purpose Of studying foreign fin tnciaI
conditions and reparations. The inter
national trade commission is a working
instrument of the Southern Trade Con-
gress. Last week they discussed their
schemes with high officials at the Wal
hemlSt7asse in Berlin. who agreed with
it in principle. The next move is to put
it up to NJ. Poincare in person. Briefly.
the scheme is that the Allies and the
United States agree to accept three per-
cent on money owed them, plus one half
of one percent sinking fund, all to agree
also to pay that three and a half percent
on their own debts. This would wipe
out inter-Allied debts and reparations in
about 81 years. Doctor Owens proposed
this arrangement should also apply to the
British debt to America. The plan also
provides for a moratorium to such ma
tons as man;festly needed it, like Ger
many, the Reichs indemnity would be
