CRISIS IS REACHED
ON TRADE TREATY
British Have No Concession
to Offer u. s. on Items
at Issue.
Dy Cable to The star.


LONDON, July 2o.-While Great
Britain and France demonstrate their
democratic solidarity In Paris, Britain's
relations with the worlds third great
democratic power-the United etAtes-
have struck another embarrassing snag.
Despite oficiAl assurances that the
Anglo-American trade negotiations are
proceeding normally" the news now
has leaked out In British business and
parliamentary circles that the negotia.
tions in Washington have, in fact,
reached q new period Of crisis and are
in virtual danger Of collapse.
While British and American ofncial
circles are loathe to support any such
suggestion, It Is known that the British
delegation which has been in WASH
ington these many months has COM
pletely been unable to match the con-
cessions which the Americans are
prepared to give with counter-conces-
sions on items which the Americans
are particularly interested In selling to
this country. They have had practi-
cally no concessions to offer on several
items which the Americans consider
must be given better treatment if
there is to be any trade agreement at
all. Consequently, negotiations are
practically at a standstill and will con-
tinue to be until and unless the British
government authorizes its delegation
to give ground.
