English Business Men Are Too Stupid to Go Into Trust Schemes, the Editor Says. New York, July 6.—Lord Northcliffe, better known as Sir Alfred Harmsworth, the publisher, has arrived to visit forest tracks In Newfoundland! which the Harmsworth corporation has obtained from the colonial government for the manufacture of paper pulp for its publications. Of insurance matters Lord Northcliffe said: “I don’t believe American companies remaining in England, unless they pue up a surplus sufficient to meet their claims, will be able to do business.” “Do you have a paper trust in England?” he was asked. “We don’t have any trust at all,” said he. “No trusts. John Dull is so stupid that he won’t have any trusts. Say that Say those very words.”
