BRITISH STRIKE IS HEAVY LOSS 10 AMERICAN IRADE U. S. Will SUffer More Than Any Other Nation, Figures Show. By William Philip Simms Timf* fttatt Correttcotidmt WASHINGTON, May 7.--Sir Alfred Mond, British financier and member of Lloyd George’s war time cabinet, speaking of the Incalculable havoc wrought by the stupendous upheaval in Great Britain, declared the strike’s, cost can not be Imagined by the human mind. Toss a rock Into a mill pond and the waves will spread until the disturbance is felt In the remotest corners. This, the fourth dtay of the general strike, finds the British disturbance malting itself felt the world over. AS for us, the United States stands | to lose more as a result of the tieiup than any other nation. The reaj son is simple. Great Britain is our best customer by far. Trade Cited Last year our total trade, not with j the whole British Empire, but (merely with the United Kingdom, amounted to no less than $1,444,* 000.000. That’s *12,000,000 a month j —nearly *400,000 a day. That’s upI proximately $1 apiece for each man, t woman and child In the United i States. That's close to *5 a year for the average American family. Tills year our trade with Britain got off to a bad start. Why? BeI cause buyers In Britain were afraid ! there would be a strike in the j spring. And the mere fear of that j strike caused a slump of more than j *57,000,000 in the United Kingdom’s I purchases from us during January, February and March. That’s 50 cents out of the average i American pocket—already 50 cents j lost before the strike had even be!gun. In other words, during the first quarter of 1925 Britain bought from us $283,897,000 worth of cotI ton, wheat, foodstuffs and so on, ah l against only $225,934,000 worth dur- ' lng the first quarter of 1926. She Buys Less Britain has been buying mufch , more from us than we have from | her. While we were selling her $1,031,876,000 worth of goods last jyear, we were buying from her only $412,315,0000 worth the balance of trade being overwhelmingly in our : favor. Britain’s total foreign trade is the greatest in the world. • It amounts to almost $11,000,000,000 a year, or nearly $1,000,000,000 a month. It averages more than $30,000,000 a day. This, with a population con siderably less than half ours. Foreign trade Is her very heart. When that stops, British life stops. But this does not begin to tell the whole story. Millions of strikers are daily losing their wages. Merchants are losing what these wages

would buy. Railroads, steamship®, steel and Iron mills and what not are losing heavily every hour the strike lasts. The aggregate Is appalling. yir Alfred Mond Is right. With the strike’s cost cannot be imagined by the human mind. The World War cost Britain $8,000,000,000 a year. The strike threatens to cost her oven more than tl^at.

regard marriage as the most sacred of human Institutions when whether a thing is right or wrong depends largely on what State you happen to be in,’’ said Miss Hicks. “Chaos of the laws is shown by such facts as that no marriage license Is needed In Alaska, in twenty-nine States first cousins cannot marry, mating of white and colored people is prohibited in another twenty-nine States, while in twenty seven the marriage of imbeciles is not barred. “California and lowa differ in six out of seven of the standard prohibitions placed on marriage. In California first cousins can wed, but there are laws against the mating of white and colored people, step relatives, epileptics, the feeble-minded and imbeciles, while In lowa first cousins cannot marry, but the mar; rlage of white and colored, epileptics, feeble-minded and Imbeciles is not prohibited.’*
