the girl acted in self-defense, and
that the shooting was justified in

Trade Balance --

m...

I
By DAVID LAWRENCE
(Copyright, 1025)

WASHINGTON, May 20. --Orea,t

Britain has made pointed answer to
the recent speech of lAmbassador
Houghton. This is the general feel-
lug here after reading the address
of Sir Esme Howard, British ambas-
sador, before the American Iron and
Steel Institutejn New York.

The British argument that trade
is the only solution of Europe's
trouble taken together with the “sis-
niilcant delineation of America's
commercial responsibility"to the rest
of the world is viewed here as a po—
lite but firm appeal that the tariff
wall elected by the 11‘-ordncy -liic-
Camber law be reduced.

European economists have all
along been saying that the opora~
tion of the Dawes plan us well as
the payment by the Allies of their
war debts to America were dcpend~
out to,no small extent on America's
readiness to buy goods from Europe.
It was not until Ambassador liow-
urd made his. public statement in
New York. however. that the Brit-
ish government speaking really for

point of the tariff situation.

It would have been indiscreet for
the British Ambassador specifically
to criticize the tariff law but with-
out treading on undiplomutlc ground
he showed the relationship between
expozts and imports in the which.
Amelican trade and said plainly
enough for American giliclals to
grasp his meaning that unless Brit—
uin sells more goods to Amciica
neither she nor the rest or Europe
can pay war debts.

Although the warning sounded by
Amciican ~ Ambassador iloughton
was really directed toward the po-
lltlcal instability of Europe, the
British Ambassador in reply wont a
step further in arguing that the
peace of I: urope while desirable
enough was not the only factor
that would tend to restore noimal
conditions in Europe 3 relationship
to the United States. This is the
most significant portion of the ad-
drcss. '

“All I ask is that there should be
in America a sympathetic tinder-
standing toward those who are on-
doavoring to bring together the
inrrlng and conflicting elemenis'in
Europe .nnd endeavor-lug to see it
they cannot work together, for eco-
_ nonilc if not for any higher reason.
i lor the good of all.“

The ambassador pointed out that.
after pence Was re-establishcd it
was necessary to. increase the pur.
chasing power of the countries in

lie added:

"Now if Great Britain cannot sell
her products abroad she cannot of
course continuoto buy raw mater-
ial and manufactured goods in the
United States as has been her cus-
tom. lt is, I am sure. fully realized
that Great Britain could scarcely
carry on an unfavorable trade bal-
ance with the United States forever
and yet pay the 3:: odd million
pounds per annum required to meet
her indebtedness to the United
States government."

The ambassador forecast that de~
spite Great Britain's good intention
to pay her debts the time might
come when it would be impossible
to imiko.bcuvy purchases in the
l'nitcd States and still pay interest
on the wai- debt.

These observations are regarded
here as by for the most important
that have been made by the British
government in the last year. Nolli-
ing has come from a British prem-
lor or foreign secretary which is as
pointed. as this. Great Britain.
however. noted that President Cool~
idge and Secretary Kellogg selected
the American unibussudor‘ut London
for their most important expression
on foreign policies made this your
and that the speech was as eil‘cctive
as if it had been issued by the gov-
ernment at Wushington. ’l‘lic Brlt~
isli therefore adopted precisely the
same plan and authorized Sir Esme
Howard to rovtul the otileiul British
position in the hope that til: 'nit-
ed States government would roul-
ize that advice to Europe even if
taken by Europe was not sufficient
to restore economic equilibrium in
the world but that America must
be ready reciprocally to accept ad~
vice from the nations across the
sea. The British nmbassudor's
speech is so skilfully worded that
it keeps within the bounds of pro-
priety yet it will go down in diplo-
matic history as a most significant
declarationof British 'policy, the
full meaning of which is already
grasped in official quarters heré' and

Landscape Artists Says
Village Is Pretty But
Is Losing Some of Its
«Charm
Residents of the lower end of .the

village have been moon perturbed
during the past few weeks because

"of petty vandalism. committed by

young men. Articles have been
stolen frequently from parked auto-
mobiles, and last week-end the gas-
oline tank of a parked car belong-
ing it. a well known resident was
smashed in.

Many persons feel that an officer
of some kind is needed, as they are
so far from the South Norwalk po-
lice station that it is impossible to

set an oillcer there in time to catch

the young men in their depreda-

'tions.

Besides breaking windows, many
electric lights have been broken on
the street lamps. In one case.
lamp was smashed, and a resident

of a nearby house found that the. '

mischief-makers had stolen the one
from his front porch. climbed the
pole. and put his light
socket.

Throughout the back roads there
are no lights. and nearby residents

“complain that the cemetery is be-

coming a parking place for the

George F. iiiundoll of Highland
avenue, well known in New York
as a landscape artist. has been mak-
ing some canvasscs of spots along
the..li‘lve Mile river. I’retty‘as Row-
ayton is. it is losing some of its aes-
thetic appeal, as it builds up. ac-
cording to Mr. Mundoli.

"Certain spots along the beach
are becoming sidontial fractious. A
big fence is b in; put around the
point at. Rowayton beach. All this
means that. ltowayton is growing as
a residential community.

"An artist. however, looks at a
spot with a different eye from any-
one else. He 'ivlll buy a piece of
‘reai estate that might be almost
worthless from a realtor's or a
farmer's point of view. Perhaps he
likes the looks of a rocky knoll. or
a twist of a creek.

People need re-cduCating in the“

use of pictures as the means of a
homo decoration. according to Mr.
Mundell.

“The big interior decorating
companies have been preaching the
use of vacant walls in decoration."
he said. "Simplicity is good. but we
should not forget pictures altogether
in the home.

“The recent omission of pictures,
does not. of course. affect an artist
who is known and has a regular
outlet for his work. but it‘has
meant much hardship to the young-
cr artist and student who has hith.
erto been able. to live and continue
his studies by tho sale of his can-
vases at a medium price."
