BRITISH LIQUOR
! FOR j. 5. PORK
HITS |MPASSE
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
Great Britain'S refusal to eat
more American pork products has
resulted in halting the flow Of
British liquor to this country.
Original liquor quota granted
to Britain became exhausted sew
eral days ago. Now the Ameri-
can trade negotiators are insisting
that Britain agree to take Ameri-
can pork and ham products in
return for an increased quota.
The British government has
been notified no more permits
will be issued for the entry of
British liquor until an under
standing is reached.
Britain Reluctant
Britain is reluctant to agree to
the demand of the American
trade negotiators because an in
crease in its pork and ham pur-
chaseS from this country would
conflict both with its domestic
policy and trade agreements it
has with other nations.
Under the National Govern
ment's economic program efforts
are underway to make the British
Isles more self-sustaining and less
dependent upon the rest of the
world for foodstuffS.
In line with this policy Is the
desire to avoid making any new
commitments concerning the
actual amount of food products
Britain is prepared to import for
. definite period.
Pledge To Denmark
Furthermore, under a treaty
with Denmark, Britain is pledged
to purchase from that country not
less than 62 per cent of all the
pork it uses.
Both these issues have been
raised by the British as obstacles
to the demand of the American
negotiatorS. However, the latter
remain adamant. The British have
made no alternative offer, and
discussions are continuing.
Meanwhile, Ireland, engaged in
an economic war with Britain, is
rapidly expanding its hold on the
American whisky market.

Joe E. Brown, Now at Met Plays
"A Very Honorable Gu"

"A Very Honorable Guy" the
Damon Runyon story current at
the Metropolitan Theater, pre-
sents Interestingly enough one Of
the many facets of city life. In
this instance the light is turned
on that little segment of human
ity that lives just over the edge
of the law. It is done with the
sharply etched characterizations
typical Of Runyon's written work.
The hero, Feet SamuelS, is por-
trayed by Joe E. Brown, who was
a happy choice for this part, al
though it is somewhat different
from his usual line.
The story is we'll done in the
pictures. It moves swiftly and
entertainingly to its climax. 1t is
intershot with choice bits of
humor and has withal a most hu-
man appeal.
For some humor that is deli
ciouS and novel we commend that
scene wherein DR.. Snitzer, por-
