GREAT BRITAIN SOLID AS A ROCK London, Feb. 2:1.--Greati Britain is fundainentally sound, both financially and economically, says the American chamber of coninerce of London in a statement referring to differences in the financial position of Great Britain and the continental European coun tries. The chamber expresses the be lief that the recent unprecedented drop in sterling exchange on Ameri ca makes it particularly desirable that the best opinions on each side of the Atlantic concerning this qIues tion should be understood on the other side. After a thorough discussion with tile leaders of British finance, illuinl nated largel3y by the address of the chairmen of five leading British banks to their stockholders in annual meet ing the chamber of commerce has prepared a message to the American business public. The nissage reads 'in part as fellows: "'he colla)so of the pound ster ing in New York is no index to Great thritaii's financial strength or weak! ness. 1.ondon is today, as before the war, the monetary center of 'Nturope. With inalequate assistance from Am crican credit in IEurope. Great Brit ain has heei forced to supply the credit needs of the continent as well as those of her own traders. "Dollar exchange is really New York- iiurope not 'Now York-London' exchange. Great Britain .is neither -bankrupt nor anywhere near it, al though her external debt is larger than ever beforc in history. This debt was incurred mainly to sitlply the nee-la of her continental allies and she is owed approximately twice as much as she ow"s America. iWhile America may fairly expect to collect all her Brit isn debt, Ureat Britain is preparing; to write off .50 per cent of her conti nental (lebt. In spite of these facts, Binish business -and finance ar In a fundaientally sound condition. Busi ness men and workers are recovering from tle demoralizing effect sof the war. Their customary energy is re viving and British factories are in creasing their output.

Appeals for American credit in be half of the destitute of Europe should not -be misconstrued as veiled appeals for assistance to Great Britain. 'Such emphatically Is not the case, British bankers and business men look to American bankers and business nunn only for sich friendly facilities as they have enjoyed and have them selves afforded in the past. "One fourth of Great Britain's debt Is to the United States. It is neither an easy nor engaging task to try to e;:press the feeling In the e!ty rega rd ing this. For the most part it is not mentioned and no banker has -been heard to express any doubt about the American debt being paid in full. Debts, between nations do not make for friendly feelings, however, and that is why British financial leaders, in confidential moments, soee times express regret at their country's huge obligation and incline toward mutual cancellation all around, At the same time, they feel that it is for the cred itor to make any such proposal. They have complete confidence in the con tinued supremacy or British finance '(ii .s'excuIse ' accuse' (who excuses himself accuses himself) they say, and prefer to let the wvorldi know them by their deeds."

C. v TUnIST TUBnE ALSOe POISONED OLIVES SOLD TO PUBLIC Sold to Retail Trade Through a Chl. eago House. Frantle Efforts Made to Recover Deadly Fruit. ,Chicago, Feb. 21.-Federal and state food inspectors In fifty-two towns of eight states are making frantic efforts tonight to locate and destroy . dozens of bottles of ripe stuffed olives con taining poison in the form of the dead ly baccillus 'botulinus. A single case of olive poisoning at Kalis)eili, Montana, which led to dis covery of the danger, is the only one reuortcd so far. Federal chemists, who uncovered the widespread, distri bution of the poison fruit are bending every effort to confiscate the bottles and a warning has been sent broadcast advisintg housewives to return unop ened all containers holding the sus !Iected brands. The olives, were sold to the rekail trade through Sprague-Warner and Company, a Chicago wholesale grocery house. Major A. A. Sprague, head of the firm, and Federal fair price com. missioner for Illinois, has furnished a record of all sales to Federal authori ties and has also Instructed his sales men to call on every customer and take up the olives. Five dozen bottles of the olives have been distributed to dealers in seven teen Illinois towns. It is not known exactly how many dozen are 'in stores in the other seven states. The brands involved are "Uatavia," "Ferndell," and "lichelieu." Only ripe olives, stufted with pimentos and sold in bottles, are affected. .1. L. Mc Laughlin, superintendent of the Illi nois division of foods and dairies, said investigation disclosed that "o blame attached to either packer, wholesaler or retailer. The labels on the bottles show they were distributed by the Chicago firm but do net carry the name of the pack er. The bottles contain six ounces net, and are of the number 10 size, according to the label. Bacillus bottlinus was discovered In IS99, appeared in ripe olives last fall when five persons (lied after a din ner at a Canton, Ohio club. The deaths were traced to the olives. Several otlh er cases have since been reported, with fatal results in nearly every in stance. Priort to the discovery of the ipres ent case Federal authorities, accord ing to Mr. 1IlAaughlin, believed that the only dangerous olives on the mar ket were the whole ripe olives packed in glass. Investigators of the department. of chemistry, Washington, uncovered a fatal 'ase of olive poisoning at Kalis vell. while investigating a number of hotulinus cases in New York. Their investigations traced the poison to the stuffed olives shipped from here. Mr. .McLaughlin warned housewives to beware of preserved goods having an unpleasant odor. The affected olives hav'e a notieable smell and are usually soft.
