ANOTHER BRITISH HOLD
UP.
The long apparent intention of
Great Britain to throttle any and
all attempts at neutral commer
cial expansion which threaten
her dominance of the world mar
kets is again glaringly illustrated
by an open attempt to tie up the
antimony trade, inaugurated
about the first of the year. The
New York American, under date
of January 30, has the following
to say concerning this attempt
to shackle the antimony export
trade of the United States.
Fearing the loss of her big an
limony trade, the British gov
■irnment, through its consulate
in this city, is seeking to compel
mporters of antimony to sign an
agreement that would bind them
not to make sales of antimony
for export to any country other
than England.
The Wah Ching M'- ing and
Smelting Company, producers of
antim ny in China, is exnacting a
shipmert of the meld on tl.o
steamrr St- Bede, due a; Boston
next week. When this antimony
uas tenuered to the agents of the
mi pping linn at ShaogV.i, they
(1. i itneu to accept the c»‘go un
icL-s it was consigned to the Brit
is-li consulate in New York. No
neutral steamers being available,
and being compelled to till .con
tract engagements, the company
agreed to make the consignment
as requested. As the steamer
was nearing its destination, ar
rangements were made with the
British consulate to transfer the
consignment to Wah Ching Com
pany. file article goes on to
state, howevr, that this ar
rangement was not effected until
the importers were compelled to
sign the following pledge:
Gis Brittanic Majesty’s Consul
General, New York:
In consideration of your con
senting to the delivery to us of
the antimony ore, crude anti
mony, antimony rcgulus or refin
ed antimony specihed on page
one, which we have purchased
from . we hereby
give you the following undertak
ing v\ liicli shall remain in force
so long as Great Britain is at war
with ain European power.
W e will not export from the
Cuffed States any antimony,
crude antimony, antimony regu
ius or reimed antimony, whether
the same has been imported from
the British dominions or not,
otherwise than to the United
Kingdom or to a British posses
sion.
W e w ill not sell the antimony
ore, etc., now delivered by you
to an} dealer or person or per
sons in the United States, but
will use for our own purposes.
In addition, the importers were
compelled to sign a guarantee
designating the persons to whom
the antimony on the St. Bede
had already been sold under the
company contracts, before they
could secure cargo. The consul
. as told by the importers that
:hey had no objection to signing
a guarantee that none of the anti
.nony would reach the British
enemy but they did desire to
make exports to France, Russia
uid the neutials of Europe. But
lie consul would agree to no
deviation from the original de
and and insisted that they must
.ther agree to his terms or the
_argo would not be released
If greater evidence were need
ed to show that Britain is taking
advantage of every opportunity
furnished by war conditions to
.ill off competition in any line
f industry in which she is inter
acted, it is amply furnished by
this agreement compelling an
American firm to pledge itself
not to sell its own property to
any other persons than those des
gnated by Gr^at Britain. Unde*
lie terms specified, the importers
are not allowed to dispose of their
product even to the citizens of
BiGr own country but must either
use it for their own iudutrial
purposes or i*~si it lie on tlieir
nanu until the conclusion of the
war. l ms conies as near to oe
nig a deliberate attempt to crush
an American industry as coum
possibly be displayed. As it hap
pens we will be tne principal sut
lers from this high handed action
for the reason that the United
States is now a considerable ex
porter of antimony. W e tire not
consicerable producers of anti
mony but we are, nevertheless,
the greatest exporters of anti
mony in the world at present.
W here the arbitrary action of
Britain hits us hardest is that it
will piactically close the foreign
market, thereby preventing us
from taking advantage of the
present remarkable opportunity
to supply refined antimony pro
ducts to an all world market. At
.tie piesent time the United
States alone of all the nations is
1 a position to supply this world
demand owing to the shutting o-t
of the European supply by war
conditions.
Left to ourselves we would
speeuily conti ol the market for
the renned product. (Jur trade
in the metal is constantly in
creasing and our imports of raw
antimony are increasing by leaps
and bounds. Ihj.e is not the
least doubt that in the event of
the war continuing for another
year the United States would be
come the great antimony supply
market of tlie earth. Britain, sees
this coming and is, therefore,
making every effort to shut off
our export trade by limiting our
export market to herself or her
possessions. As Britain practic
ally controls ocean traffic to and
from the countries on which we
depend for the bulk of our raw
product, she unquestionably has
us by the throat and can order as
she pleases As in many other
matters we are helpless because
of the absence of a merchant ma
rine of our own and must, there
fore, stand idly by and allow a
great opportunity to slip away.

rl here’s one rubber i
boot that has
“made good” in
Alaska and that’s the
Goodrich
“HIPRESS”j
= White Boot
“With the Red-Idne
’round the Top”
t
— J
You know that when a Boot
corned in and simply sweeps the country
like “_HIPltESS” has done, it’s GOT to
be SOMETHING UNUSUAL—for Alaska wear
is the supreme test for Boot Quality.
White Goodrich “H_IPRESS” Boots actually wear longer than iron or steel I
You don’t have to balf-sole them with leather—they for outwear hob
nailed leather soles.
The reason for this unusual sendee is that "JHIPRESS” are constructed by !
an entirely new process—fifty years ahead of the old-fasbioned boot. They
are made of the same tough rubber that goes into Goodrich Auto lires—
welded together under euonnous pressure INTO ONE SOLID PIECE 1
There’s nothing to come apart —they can’t leak, peel, crack or split.!
They’re comfortable, too—shaped to the foot while its working. We
promise thut once you start wearing White “H1PRESS” you’ll never be :
satisfied with anything else.
And remember—there ia but ONE “HIPHESS” Boot—it has
a Red-Line ’round the Top.
DEALERS: If not already stocked on "H1PRESS** write at once for samplss ami pi In—
This is the best selling, beat wearing Boot over put into Alaska.
