Money Muddle Between England
 and Belgium Over

London, Oct. 2S.--(P-One Of the plttcrest international money wars m the history of militant finance, in which millions of British pounds were arrayel against tens of mil lions Of Belgian francs, has come to an end.
 An agreement has been signed between pr. Henri Dreyfus, chair man of British Cclanese, Ltd, the famous artificial silk firm, and Cap tain Alfred LoWenstein. chairman Of the International Holdings and Investment Company. Captain Low enstein is the Belgian financier who offered to lend the Belgian Gov crnmcnt S50,o00,000.
 For months these great compa- nios. which control the making of the ma i9rity of the worlds artf- cial silk, have been opponents in the courts and on tn" stock market
 The conflict began when Dr. DrcyfuS obtained complete financial control of British Celanese. He dis missed the three directors who were nominated to the board by international Holdings. He was likewise preparing to launch legal offensive to test the royalty agree ment by which British Cclan,sc had 10 pay, a percentage on all sales to the Belgian firm.
 By the terms of the peace settle mcnt, the present royalty agree mcnt, will terminate, and the royal ties payable to International will be capitalized.
 At q meeting of the board of h. tcrnational il was unanimously agreed that the assets of the com- pahy, including royalty agreements, should be sold to company to be registered with the same name in Canada
 International waived it's right to appoint three directors to British Celancsc in consideration that Brit ish Celanese offered no objection 10 the sale of the royalty agreement to the new Canadian company.

sydney, Australia, Oct. 2S.-lP)-- Business men see in the Cvmbina tion of the Dunlop Rubber Com panies of England and Australia, through the purchase of 800, ,000 shares of stock in the Australasian firm. a union of the OCcidents fi- nancial and research resources with the market possibilities of the Ori- ent for increased business.
 Tho position of the Australasiau company is believed 10 be strength- ened by the closer technical and commercial alliance with the Brit jsh firm and the company also will benefit by the trade secrets and re- search work. The British company has been developing the "anode" process whereby rubber may be de posted upon molds by electroyss.
 The combination also will permit establishment of separate New Zealand company to develop trade ill that dominion. The sale of the shares at 25 shllings each will pro- vide necessary working capital for the Australasian company, which has been expanding it's plant.
