Coal 4 is so scarce in Argentina tnat f the dredging of the country's navigable rivers and of Buenos Aires harbor lhas practically 4 i been suspended.

The newspapers 4 are urging the government to 4 keep the dredges working off 4 Buenos Aires, at least, at almost 4 any cost. JeeJeeloefeeleeJeeJeeJ LORD RHQNDDA SAYS NEED NOT run WAR BRITAIN'S EXPERIENCE, HE DE CLARES, HAS BEEN BETTER FINANCIAL CONDITIONS EXCESS PROFITS ARE LARGE BritiBh Workingmen Have Received Higher Wages and Spend More, He Says, Thus Helping Tradesmen. Londonj May 8. (United Press) American business has nothing to fear from the war. The profits in England have been above normal since the war began. ' Lord Rlhondda, president of the local government board and a member of Lloyd George's cabinet, in making this statement today to the United Press declared the American business man from the small tradesman up to the biggest capitalist can look optimis tically to the future. Lord Rhondda may be best known to Americans as D. A. Thomas his name before elevation to a title. He is one of the world's captains of in dustry, with interests in not only Eng land, but in. France, Italy, Spain, Russia, Brazil and Argentina He has made frequent visits to the United States his latest being one under taken at the request of Premier Lloyd George to arrange supplies for Eng land and to obtain information as to American business conditions. Excess Profits Tax Great. "I have never been inclined to urge that America 'come in,' "Lord Rhond da told the United Press today, "and this notwithstanding the fact that I was aboard the Lusitania when the Germans torpedoed her. I have con sistently believed that America would do the right thing but that it was America's own problem. 1 "Now that America has taken the ' step, I feel free to assure American j business men among whom I have a l great number of friends that possi ! ble fears for business disaster through the war are likely to prove unfounded. "Certainly it has not been that case in England, except in isolated in stances in some lines. The govern ment realized $700,000,000 from its excess profits tax last year. That means profits above the normal before the war profits. The profits last year were $1,160,000,000, since $700,000, 000 represents the 60 percent tax. English Labor Has Profited. "Moreover, ast year's profits were achieved with tut little evidence of so-called profiteering. Labor obtained I its due proportion in increased wages j as witnessed by ability of the work lingmen to meet the increased cost of living and. at the same time spend more. "The latter fact is one of the rea sons why tradesmen have not suffered as perhaps they anticipated. "Please don't misunderstand me war isnt' a business any truly civ ilized government should enter for the purpose of making profit, but it is one of the strange facts incidental to this war that such has been the case. Panic Need Not Be Feared. "America, like England, need not contemplate the wrecking of the fa bric of its business life. "America knows what hard times periods are though fortunately the wisdom of the new financial system instituted by President Wilson's ad ministration has obviated a recur rence of such panics as those which once periodically afflicted business, A war such as America faces can't be compared for its effect on business with those former hard time periods.
