London, Aug. 25.—The Finance Act,
which more than any other recent
legislation echoes the popular cry of
“Briton for Britons” through the pre-
ference which is to be given materials
produced within the Empire, is to be
tried immediately through two orders
issued by the Board of Trade.
One order provides that preference
shall be given refined sugar, molasses
and tobacco imported from the Col-
onies, and the other sets the standard
of “imperial origin” by declaring that
no manufactures shall be considered
of British or imperial origin unless
25 per cent of the total value is the
result of British or imperial labor.
For the purpose of regulations
governing the second order it is pro-
vided that the total value of an article
shall include the value of containers
and other forms of Interior packing
ordinarily sold with the article at re-
tail, but shall not include the manu-
facturers’ or exporters’ profit or the
cost of exterior packing, carriage to
port and other charges incidental to
the goods subsequent to their man-
ufacture.
In calculating the proportion which
is the result of labor within the em-
pire there may be included the cost
to the manufacturer including wages,
proportion of fuel, supervision and
other factory charges and the cost
for packing for retil sale.

operators in the central office here
saved Paris from a posible famine
during the recent food crisis precp-
itated by the profiteers.
Following disorders around the
central markets where consuthers
raided the stands, and overthrew
them, scattering vegetables, fruit,
fish and other food to the ground be-
cause of the high prices, a number
of commision merchants sent urgent
talegrams to producers outside of
Paris telling them to hold back their
goods till further orders. Many of
the despatches indicated that, owing
to a general decline in prices, the
merchants were withholding their
goods from the market
The telegrams numbered about one
thousand. They had gone past the
wickets into the operating rooms,
when the operator who was working
one of the wires to Brittany noted a
batch of them cancelling orders for
butter. Now he had paid ten francs
for a pound of butter that morning

Minneapolis, Sept. 9.—Declaring
that the peace treaty will end the
regime of the balance of power,
Wilson told the crowd here today the
new world order would be to the ad-
vantage of all nations rather than a
few of the stronger. He said that
under the balance of power regime
people nowhere dared to speak out
against autocracy or against the
burden of armament but now the
people are awake and determined
“that if the governments cannot get
together they will destroy the gov-
ernments. We will brook the control
of no minority in the United States.”
The President said another great
war would come if there were no
concerted movement to preserve
peace under American leadership and
added, “The peace of the world is
everybody’s business and the League
of Nations covenant is the first in-
ternational document that recognizes
that fact.” President Wilson was
given a great ovation.
