N5 British Consumers Now Are., xusiiig in rruueat Against Embargo List By ROBERT WELLES RITCHIE London, June 21. Which is more important to the necessities of the -average English household: A nice wild animal, such as a dikdik from Uganda say, or a baby jaguar from Yucatan, or sound American cotton hosiery underwear and solid Ameri can shoes? This question is raised by the ac tion of the Imports Consultative Council in recommending to the board of trade a lifting on import restrictions upon wild animals and fresh flowers, while at the same time sanctioning the addition of cotton hosiery and underwear to the list of prohibited imports. That certain selves manufacturers of competing underwear has, perhaps, its instruc tive moral. American manufacturers have had much to say and some have said it stridently about the growing Brit ish embargo list. But now public opinion in Britain itself is becoming roused to some of the activities of the board of trade and its advisory 'Imports Consultative Council; for it has begun to s.ink in upon the Brit ish consumer that he's dancing to the tune that's being played to please the British manufacturer. While home products are being "protected" against the rapacity of American would-be exporters by the imposition of the embargo, the Eng- lish householder is paying three prices for the dlothes his family need, for some of the food they eat and for the furnishings of the home. j He's paying "protection" to his own manufacturers and he's just begun to discover that fact. No Sign of Change. Though just yesterday the govern ment lifted the embargo on exports and declared that the war black list against suspected enemy firms would no longer be operative, the power of prohibition and rationing of imports still remains with the Board of Trade, and there is no sign of any change of pociy. 1 lie lliij'lfl l ui cvciai iiumucu s classes of goods, ranging from lux uries like ornamental feathers and perfumes to hosiery, woolen goods, boots and shoes, is now either strict ly prohibited or mcagerly rationed under "licenses." And not a week passes but what the Board of Trade 1 Journal announces new additions to the prohibited list. The Englishman, wedded to the principle of free trade, now begins to see that the protection rose under whatever name smells odious. Each - of the hundreds of restrictions is de fended by its sponsors on the ground that indiscriminate admissions of foreign goods at this critical period of war disorganization will throw British workers out of employment and ruin manufacturers. The' manner whereby decisions as to restrictions are arrived at, as well as the effect of the restrictions themselves, has now begun to en gage the attention of Britains. They are wondering how large a part the self-interest of British manufactur ers themselves is playing in the pro scription of foreign goods. When, after the armistice, the government decided to inaugurate a system of protection through em bargo, it entrusted the revision of restrictions to a small committee set Predicts Airplane -Freight Service Within Few Years Industrial Commissioner J. M. Gillan of the Chamber . of Commerce Compares Times of 30 Years Ago .With Present Status of Industries and Inventions. "Perhaps not this ..year, but dur ing the lifetime of men who are now in business in Omaha we will see the airplane, or some kindred ma chine transporting freight across the country, taking the place of the steam lines," mused J. M. Gillan, head of the industrial department of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce. "This is no wild, idle dream," con tinued Mr. Gillan, "for it is certain ts come about in the natural order ,of things and in the march of prog ress that since the close of the war has set in with new energy. Mr. Gillan has lived in Omaha more than a third of a century, and discussing the progress made dur ing that time jn the development of transportation pointed to some of the things that have happened, say ing: ' f "Thirty years ago there was not an electric street car in Omaha and for that matter, none in the United States. 'Thirty years ago only the mot prosperous of the merchants felt that-they could afford telephones. Now po family can do without one in the house. "Thirty years ago the automobile had not 1 been dreamed of. Now . they are much more common than horse teams' "Thirty years ago we read Jules Verne's book, a 'Trip to the Moon,' and laughed over it because we considered it such a wild tale, the r writer not having been hampered with facts. r "Now all the things I have men tioned have become necessities, even to the flying machine. But getting back to the problem of the air freight line. It is not a dream. Just the other day one. of these big freighters winged its way across from England, all of which shows the possibility of their utility as vehicles for handling business in and out of the cities of this country. "Inside of five years I-expect to . see regular air line freight service between Omaha and Chicago, Oma ha and Denver and dozen of lines operated out from Omaha, serving ? the business of points within Ne braska and western Iowa. "Take it from me. The airplane is certain to come and it is coming much soone" than many of us ex pect. .The - speed at which the freight machines will travel and the a n up under the chairmanship oPLord Emmott. who was the competent di rector of the War Trade department in 1215. But pressure was brought to bear by certain important manu facturers upon Sir Albert Stanley, president of the board of trade, and he agreed to enlarge this advisory committee by adding ot it certain manufacturers' representatives, cre ating thereby what Sir Auckland Geddes wittily described as "a jury structure of protection." Lord Em mott promptly resigned his chair manship, declaring he would have no hand in any biased dictation on the subject of import restrictions. Manufacturers in Control. The enlarged Import Consultative Council remains, however, with the following personnel: Chairman, Sir Samuel Hoare, M. P., and eleven members (four of whom are members of (parliament) appointed by the Board of Trade, one member nominated by the Treasury, five by the Association of Chambers' of Commerce, five by the Federation of British Industries, two by the National Union of Manufac turers, four two employers and two workers chosen by the ministry of labor to represent Whiteley Coun cils, one by the Association of Trade Protection Societies, two by the Par liamentary Committee of the Trade Unions Congress, and one by the parliamentary committee of the Co operative Congress. Quite two-thirds of the committee' are manufacturers. The mferchant ing and distributive interests have but a small minority voice, while the consumer, only comes in indirectly through the Government and Labor nominees. This over-representation of directs interests was the chief teason of Lord Emmott's resigna tion. The first step the council took was to divide itself into five sub committees, each covering a group of industries textiles and appard, glass and leather, motor cars and manufactures of wood, machinery and hardware, fancy goods and mis cellaneous. Members directly con cerned in cotton and woolen manu facture were put on the textiles sub committee. At the opening session of this re modeled board Mr. Bridgman, par liamentary secretary of the Board of Trade, suggested that any commit tee man particularly interested in an import under discussion might give his advice, but be forced to .with hold his vote- But the council dis missed this suggestion as unneces sary and impracticable. Wherefore, every standard indus try at all likely to suffer from for eign competition now has a man at court to make its own special plea for protection. Recommendations of each sub-cotrtmittee, reached after Mr. Committeeman Blank, repre senting the Manchester spinners, has had his say and cast his vote, go before the full council for final ac ceptance and by that body they are passed on to the president of the Board of Trade. Here is protection such as Amer ican "malefactors of great wealth" never dreamed of obtaining in the days of their most flagrant rapacity. One direct result, seized upon at random, is that the London man now pays all the way from $15 to $25 for his shoes. comparative low cost; of operation are two things that will have much to do with their speedy introduction as soon as the proper kind of a ma chine is developed and placed on the market for sale. "Think what it would mean. A merchant in Lincoln has a call for a certain article and discovers it is not in stock. He summons his air plane driver, gives him an order tp purchase and sends him to Omaha. In little more than half an hour, the driver returns, the article has been purchased and is turned over to the customer. To merchant and customer the trip has not meant any more than at the present time send ing a messenger boy to a store half a dozen blocks away, there to buy something that is not carried in stock, but is handled by the neigh bor merchant. "It is certain that the business air plane is coming, coming quickly and to stay." Musical Notes A recital by violin pupils of Miss Emily Cleve was given at her studio Wednesday evening.

MY DEARS: The warm days of brilliant sunshine during the past week have indeed made the subject of clothes a "burning" one. Fashion folk declare for simplicity in apparel for traveling, by rail, boat or car. Tricollette, the silk jersey in coarse weave, is an ideal fabric offered in the shops.
