abroad amounting to SO, 100000, 900.

WASHINGTON, Nov. %. IN -
Harold Butler, British minister,
said today that although the empire
is running in the red, it isn't broke.
He indicated that the British
won't need postwar civilian Lend
Lease to get them back on an even
economic keel.
His assertions gave substance to
information current among Ameri-
can government officials that h e
British will come out of the war
able to do cash business in the
United States and that the only kind
of assistance needed from this
country will be long range produc-
ton loans.
Butler said at news conference
t h as things stand he doubts
whether Britain's economy can be
restored by 1880
At the same time, interpreting
the British white paper on the war
effort of the United Kingdom, he
declared that the figures do not
show that the British Empire is
broke. He added that the British
do not want to obtain Lend-Lease
goods for re export.
So far as he knows, he said,
there is no consideration no
among officials here Of a grant in
aid'' of several billion dollars to
help get the British back on their
feet quickly after the war. Such
a grant has been suggested by Win
throp Aldrich, New York financier.

A two-story frame house belong

nick boulevard was damaged by
fire yesterday afternoon, r. L.
Benson, town clerk of Wrightsville
Beach, reported last night.
The alarm was answered by the
volunteer fire department at the
resort, which had the flames I'M
der control before the arrival Of
the Coast Guard detachment at
Wrightsville sound, Benson report
ed.
Cause of the fire was not known
but it was believed to have started
from an automatic oil hot water
heater on the first floor next to
the garage.
An automobile in the garage be-

"WorId Wars 1 and II have made
the people of the British Empire
and those of the United State rea
lie more and more that we are al
vided only by laws and customs
and that the United States ana the
British Empire are part and par
eel of each other" Fred Willetts
English-born Rotarian, told his
club members at their meeting
yesterday.
Mr.. Willetts was born in England
but went to Canada at an early
age. He fought, with the Canadian
army in France in World War
and now is a major in the North
Carolina State Guard. He became
an American citizen number Of
years ago.
In giving a brief history of his
native land, he said that England
has an area Of so, 900 square miles
as compared to North Carolina's
52426 square miles.
London is said to be the largest
city in the world, he revealed, add
ing that history does not record
the origin of the city except that it
existed before the Christian age.
William the Conqueror did not
take London, Mr.. Willetts said-it
took him - he was accepted by a
vote of the citizens which to this
day never has been modified; as
a matter of fact their rights have
been handed down to us, to wit:
right of inheritance, right of free
speech, and the right to choose
representatives he continued.
The United Kingdom includes
England, Ireland, Scotland and
Wales, he said, with a combined
population of about 48 million. In
the United Kingdom are over 5000
islands, most of them inhabited,
Willetts revealed.
The Empire consists of approx
mately one-fourth of the world S
population, he added.
'One may think from what you
see in the newspapers that Brit
aims dominion and colonial troops
do all the fighting. 1t always has
been an Empire policy to give
credit to everyone but themselves.
Good will and cooperation is es-
sential and they know it. The
British Isles have always, as now,
furnished the great majority of the
fighting strength in all their wars,
notwithstanding the fact that they
or V are a tenth part of the EN-
p - he continued.
The pride of Britain always has
been its Navy and history will
show that the entire world from
time to time depends on it, he as
serted, adding. that. "neverthe-
less, the fighting forces of the Brit
ish army always have come in for
