If any ships were put in operation by} Ford, they would be reconditioned and equipped as oil burners, the} article states. Despite the tentative agreement, the matter of the sale of the ships to Ford will not be cleared up for sev- eral months, it. is estimated. The} shipping board has been wary of making any agreement heretofore, as it felt if the ships were sold abr to be scrapped, that promise might be broken and the ships might ‘re- appear under foreign flags in compe- tition with American ships. fore R.

Britain’s Trade’ Prospects Painted In Dismal Colors London, May 14.—A gloomy view of Britain’s trade outlook was ex- pressed by Sir Robert Horne at a re- cent dinner of the British Overseas Banks Association. He said he had just come back from a journey abroa which had ‘taken some months, and he was of the opinion “that we are in a worse position to- day than we were six months ago, and that was bad enough. If we look at the staple trades of the country we cannot help having a feling of anxiety and apprehension as to the fature.” ‘Sir Robert referred to the state of the shipbuilding, coal, heavy steel, woolen and cotton trades, and said it was his deliberate belief ‘that every section of society had to combine to find some solution of the problem, otherwise there was no hope for the country. hy Sc eee ee Leste cere The first telepbone was. installod when
