2 i THE SUNDAY STAR, SEMI-ANNUAL PRICE SLASHING! Starting Monday, our twice-a-year battering down of prices regardless of_cost or former price to clear the shelves of odd lots—making room for fall goods, and together with these cut prices on our regular merchandise, we go out into the market and purchase thousands of dollars’ worth of broken lots of highest-grade goods from reliable and prominent manufacturers who, like ourselves, wish to dispose of remaining lots from the busy season’s rush. Zach department is bending every effort to make this Mill End Sale the greatest ever; the pruning knife is slashing right and left the prices of fresh, stable merchandise to bring new friends to the “Store for Thrifty People” and show appreciation to our old friends for their patronage. No man or woman in Washington can afford to miss our daily announcements in The Star—they mean dollars to you—they mean clear shelves for fall goods and new customers for us. Absolutely no phone orders or C. O. D.s—but our usual liberal policy of exchange or refund will be maintained. READ AND SAVE! : S BUY! Eclipsing All Records for Bargains! BUY!

(By Cable to The Star and New York World. Copyright, 1921.) LONDON, July 30.—British manu- facturers are seriously concerned over the prospect of a sweeping Increase in the Americarl tariff. Guy Locock. a director in the Federation of British Industries, the largest organization of the kind In Great Britain, in an interview with The Star and World { voiced the opinion of the federation in saying that the world would be {unable to dicharge its debts to the United States if the tariff were placed too high. “The federation fully recognizes,” he said, “that the policy of the United States can be shaped only by the United States. At the same time, there is a wider aspect in this matter, in view of the fact that trade and commerce are international in nature, and that any step taken by one country inevitably reacts upon the whole “fabric of international trade. I feel that frank and friendly di cussion of any difficulties that may arise in any country should not bg resented, and may be productive of !good, especially at a time when the {world is suffering from dislocation of | thade. 2 “The United States has efficiently ‘built up an extensive export trade. As a result, the rest of the world imust, in some manncr or other, pay to the United States the debts owed to that country, and must also pay !for goods imported from that country. “There is only one way in which this can be done, and that is by pay- ment in kind. Although a tariff is doubtless desirable, in the view of the American public, a very difficult sit- uation will arise if that tariff is placed 50 high that it will be impossible for the rest of the world to export goods | to the United States. If that should oc- cur. 1 see no way by which the rest of the world can discharge its debts i correspondent today, declared that he ! WASHINGTON, D. C..
