Prince Charlie's Liquenr
The origin of "DRAMBUIE"
and the basis of its production give it a character distinct from other. Liqueurs.
Brought to Bcotland by a follower of Prince Charlie in 1745, the recipe was given to a MacKinnon of Skye, and the secret has ever since remained in one family. The MacKinnon of that day employed the materials which were available, and in place of Brandy a fine old Whisky was used. This, along with heather honey and herbal ingredients of recognised valué as aids to digestion produced a Liqueur which soon gained the post of honour on the tables of Highland. Aristocracy, and is now known world-wide.

LONDON, December 10. EVENTS to the British-American debt question moved with
dramatic celerity during Britain's Sabbath, srening
The public in any casa had been surprised at breakfast to find that Britain had already told America she would pay with re vision as a proviso, but Mr. Stimson's unprecedently quick reply. at 7 a.m. expanded “America Rejects" to headings of thres column width and evoked special editions.
Political writers in their notes describe how loading Ministeri were brought from their beds and Informed of the change in the situation, and how Mr. MecDonald, who is arriving from Paris this morning, will en route to London, receive a telephoned summary of America's objection and forecast an emergency meet. ing of the Cabinet.

· BRITAIN'S PROCEDURE JUSTIFIED
The Morning Post in a political observation says it is probable that dissatisfaction in the House of Commons at the immediate dispatch of the British Note is indicative that a quantity of the Commons support default,
In this connection the Baily Herald political view on the latest development sees a likelihood of a awing over of members of Parlin ment to the viewpoint that Britala now should not make any payment until a final settlement of the debts problem, and gives the opinion that! America's rejection throws on the United States full responsibility of any chaos that might follow.
France-is-pleased with the Britísh decision as it is backing up Lau- sanne, giving M. Herriot a trump card to play at the Assembly. It is regarded as a most striking demon- stration, yet in reality Franco- British co-operation, the forming Past says, thus far has gone no further and there can be no return to the arrangement obtained before! the Hoover Moratorium.
The Daily Telegraph Britain's resort to exceptional and abnor- inal procedure" is justified by the need to save Europe from now chaos. Congress must require Europe to actually be overwhelmed with volcanic ashes before admitting the volcano is smoking.
