REPLIES T0 KIPLING QUOTED N ENELAND Poet’s Clash With Baldwin Over Debt to America Is Family Row. BY A. G. GARDINER. Br Radio 1o The Star T.ONDON, September 18.-—American press comment on Rudyard Kipling's poem attacking the United States is widely quoted here. Kipl'ag belongs to the 90s and has long ceased o coynt as representative of English opinion His crude imperialism is wholly out of sympathy with current sentiment - Whatever importance attaches to the Kipling outbreak is due to the fact of Kipling’s relationship to Prime Minister Baldwin-~who does not share his cousin’s Jingo point of view. Mr. Baldwin himself is solely re- sponsible for the . debt settlement which incurs Kipling’s criticism. Tt was the prime minister's interview with the press on his arrival at Southampton from the Washington negotiations, that practically commit- ted the Bonar Law government to ac- ceptance of the terms of the present settlement, and Kipling's verse is— consciously or unconsciously—a pub- lic snub to his distinguished relative. Marlowe Quits as Editor. Meanwhile, another incident bearing on public feeling regarding the American debt has occurred here. It refers to the recent message of Lord Rothermere to readers of his news- .papers repudiating the attitude the papers had taken on the debt ques- tion. The Daily Mail had started = furious stunt to the tune of “Uncle Shylock.” Uncle Sam being flagel. lated daily in that unseemly character. Lord Rothermere intervened with a denunciation of the campaign, declar- ing it did not represent his feelings and regard for the facts of the Amer- icon position. and throwing the onus on the editor and staff of the Daily Mail. Forthwith the campaign ceased, and this week the resignation of Thomas Marlowe, who had served as editor since the foundation of the paper, was announced The incident indicated disinclination in any regponsible s here to nag at America on the subject of the debt. Rut it would be idle to suggest that the present situation is not responsi- ble for an undercurrent of feeling which is inimical to entirely cordial relations between the two countries. A. J. Cook, secretary of the Miners' Federation, concerned only with saving his face with the miners by securing.some sort of settlement on & national basis. Mr. Baldwin is equals 11 anxious to patch up an agreement. But the mine owners refuse to dis- ~uss a national agreement and insist upon the principle of district agree- ments.

It is undeniable that this would be the result, and, while the mine owners disclaim this intention, it cannot be doubted that many of them would welcome dissolution of the union and substitution of district unions, Chancellor of the Exchequer Churhill, in the absence of the prime minister, had given the impression that the government would coerce the employ- ers, and Mr. Baldwin himself is favor- able toward conceding the principle of a national agreement. But the defiant attitude of the mine owners| on the subject has much support from the Tory party and considerable back- ing in the press, and the cabinet meet- ing Thursday made it pretty plain that Mr. Baldwin lacks the courage to act contrary to the current opinion of his party. The prime minister has reopened negotiations with the men and the masters, but 8o far gives no indication of grappling boldly with the situatior and imposing terms of settlement in the name of the government. It is| plain that matters cannot be allowed to drift, for with the first snap of cold weather there will be a universal outery for settlement. (Copyright. 1926.) SOVIET TRADE RULE Dreyfus Firm of Paris Given Right to Buy From Russians Without Government Supervision. By Cable to The Star and New York World. PARIS, September 18.—The first toreign firm authorized to do business in Russie without passing through the control of the commissariat for for- eign commerce is the grain house of Louis Dreyfus of Paris. The contract has not nounced yet, but its existence is known in business circles, where there is tense interest because it is the first break in the Soviet rule to allow no commerce except through government channels. The monopoly of foreign trade is considered the last stronghold of pure communism in Russia, and if it} breaks down it is expected to lead | eventually to ordinary commercial | relations between Russia and the| rest of the world. According to the terms of the re- ported agreement, the Dreyfus firm is to have the right to buy grain freely wherever the possessors in Russia are ready to sell. The contract is report ed to have been made under Joseph Stalin’s orders. It is in the nature been an. of a defi to radical opposition under the leadership of Trotsky and Kamen- off. They maintain that opening the Russian frontier to foreign commerce means the end of Communist rule. The Dreyfus concern bought about $10,000,000 worth of grain in Russia last year.
