SPLENDID GENEROSITY
AMERICAN GIFTS TO BRITAIN. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, August 29. The splendid generosity of the American people, expressed in contributions to the Allied cause by way of medical stores, ambulances and aid in other forms, has been deeply appreciated in Britain. These gifts, which still continue, are most gratefully received. and there is no truth whatever in the report that the British Government discouraged the sentiments that prompt them in a communication made to the United States.
In recent months gifts, however, included large consignments of food, dispatched toEritain by American organisations interested in humanitarian work. It is felt here that it would be an unwarrantable imposition on American benevolence to permit such gifts to continue. There is no shortage of food in Britain, and the view taken by the authorities here is that any supplementing from lhe United States of America of food supplies that may be required should be obtained as a purely commencial transaction.
