Chamberlain Sends New Note
About Debt
Tans. .July 2 fP'-The lntrallfd
dbt question has been thrust titlll ;
further to the fore by ihn receipt!
from London of a new inmonin-1
flHffl suggesting that. Fiance make I
an offer for r,"t'lrment of hr debt,
to F.nglnnd, even If only a provis
ional one.
The memorandum, signed by
foreign (secretary Chamberlain,
tnk cognisance of France's plans
In connection with her American
debt by stating that flrent Britain
has no desire to Interfere with ne
gotiations whlrh France might Initio
ate with other credllors power.
Mr. Chamberlain seiies the oc
casion, however, to state the princi
ple that England feels that she Is
entitled to treatment en an equal
footing that Is, should France sign
an agreement for payment of part
of her debt to the United States,
the British would expect a propor
tionate reimbursement of the sums
due them. .
The British memorandum Is being
studied by Foreign Minister Brland
ana Finance Minister Caillaux, who
not long ago were given authority
by the cabinet to Initiate negotia
tions for settlement of the Inter
allied debts.
Pending the dispatch ef addi
tional Instructions to M. Daeschner,
the French ambassador at Wash
ington, the government has asked
him to inform the American au
thorities that France Is disposed to
send a commission to the United
States to discuss the question,
The Echo De Paris thinks the
British memorandum means that,
while any agreement, reached by
France with America, will entail a
similar agreement with England,
the British government recognizes
the entire freedom ef the United
States to grant easier conditions to
France, Italy and her other debtors
than were given to England.

It is well worth the difference in price
Perhaps when von first hear your friends say that Best Foods
Shortniiig is absolutely odorless you are a little skeptical.
We can hardly blame you. It has seemed that odor was just
one of the things that have to be put up with in a shortening.
All we can say isTry Best Foods Shortniiig for yourself and see."
Odorless, Tasteless
and Neutral
The New Idea in
Shortening
What we mean
when we say
Compare with any
other shortening'
Bet Fonda Shortniog is not only odorless it
is taste'ens and really neutral 88 well.
Ah a practical housekeeper, you can see what
this means In reaulta
h means that the food you prepare with Bet
Foods Shortning never tastes of the shortening.
The food develops its own flavor to the full. It
is more delirious.
It meana, also, that Best Foods jhortning has
many uses besides just shortening, With it you
can prepare delicious Cake Icings, Cream Fill
ings, Candies.
It means that when you fry there is no odor
through the io?e.
Best Foods Shortning is a new type of shortening.
It is the fat rry'o shortening non-greasy,
appetizing, and palatable -good to eat just as it
comes fro ji the container.
Best Foods Shortning. being the fat crystal
shortening, keeps three or four times as long as
other shortenings and need not be kept on ice
even after it is opened.
You can get Best Foods Shortning from any
grocer who carries first-quality food products
When we say ''Compare with any other shorten- ,
ir?g." we mean exactly what, we say. Buy a can.
Tnte it. Compare it on any point you wish.
rd if you are not pleased with Best Foods
Shortning as sgainst any other shortening,
return the can to your grocer and get your
, money back.
