London, Aug

head
of the ermmission
of the

which

with
a
view
of bet-

which
was presented

The
German

was
made
‘‘withoat, however,

without p-ejudice

Winnipez,
August
Ilth,—American
steamship
companies
have put into effect
their threat
not
to carry Canadian
grain
to market,
as
a protest
against the
new
Canadian
law
which requires
th2m
to
file their tariffs with the
Board
of Grain
Commissioners
at Fort
William,
states
a special despatch
to
the
Manitoba Free
Press
from Fort
William.
With
Ameri-
can
boals
concentrating
on
their
own
grain trade,
it is anticipated
at
the head
of the lages
that
under
the
tremendous
handicap
of
moving
a
record
erop
with
in.ufficient
boats,
Canadian
grain
wiil
be later in reaching
overseas
buyers
and
American
grain
will
thus
be sold ahead
of that grown
in the
Canadian
West,
ac-
cording
to the despateh.
London,
Awuwg. 11th,—Mr
Baldwin.
on
Friday, expressed
complete
approval
of
the
International
Trade
Commission’s
proposal
for the settlement
of reparations
and
inter-Allied
debts,
following a
con-
ference
with
Dr.
Clarence
W,
Owens,
President
of
the
Commission,
2and
Senator
Ralph
Metecalf,
Seeretary,
who
explained
the scheme
by which they
be-
lieved
the
financial
troubles
of
Europe
might beovercome.
Dr.Owensand
Sena-
tor
Metealf
were
sent
to Europe
on
be-
half of the Southern
Trade
Congres=.
for
the purpose
of studying
foreign fin incial
conditions
and
reparations.
The
inter-
national
trade
commission
is
a working
instrument
of the
Southern
Trade
Con-
gress.
Last
week
they
discussed
their
schemes
with
high
officials at
the
Wil-
hemlstrasse
in Berlin,
who
agreed
with
it in principle.
The
next
move
is to put
it up to M. Poincare
in
person.
Briefly,
the
scheme
is
that
the Allies
and
rthe
United States
agree
to accept
three
per-
cent
on money
owed them,
plus one half
of one percent
sinking
fund,
all to agree
also
to pay that three
and
a
half percent
on
their
own
debts.
This
would
wipe
out inter-Allied debts
and
reparations
in
about 67 y2ars.
Doctor
Owens prepnsed
this arrangement
should also apply to the
British debt to
America.
The
p'an
also
provides
for
a
moratorium
to
such
na-
tions
as
manifestly
needed
it,
lLke Ger-
many,
the
Reichs
indemnity
would
be
{*xed to about
$12,000,000,000.
London,
Aug. 11th.-The dockers
strike
in London has
lasted
six
w2eks
now, yet
the
ford
prices
have
not been affected,
as
the
supplies
come
freely
through
Southampton,
where
the
dockers
have
raised
no objection
to
the
unloading ¢
vessels
which have
been
diverted
{rom
London.
What
seems
to keep
the strike
going in Londonis the scale
of the
poor
law
relief.
In Poplar
and
Bermondsey
the
poor
law
goardians
sare paving any-
thing
up
to 52 shillings a
week
as
a dole.
The
poor
law
rates
compare
so favour-
ably with dock
wages
that
men
actually
are
better
off by
drawing the dole than
if
they
were
employed
30r4
days
a
week,
the usual
run of dock emp'oyment,
The strike
in faet
is virtually subsicise
d
by the local

that
are
paid to kiep
