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. According to
-estimates made public by one hank
chairman, tihe present year's exports
will produce a profit of from one bil
lion to one billion five hundred mil
lion of dollars. The expression 'we
are rounding the corner' is now heakrd

on al sides. Neither British bankers
nor the British government exJpect or
ask further government or long-term
loans from America.
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

prefer to let the wvorldi know them by

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. The germ, it ia believed,
can~ beC kil1led by 1b0111ng thle goods and1(
