Drambuie

Prince Charlie's Liqueur

The origin of "DRAMBUIE" and the basis of ita production give it a charactor distinct from other Liqueure.

Brought to Scotland by a follower of Prince Charlie in 1745, the recipe was given to a MacKinnon of Skye, and the secret bas 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 value 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.

British opinion generally welcomes the friendly tone of the U.S. Reply. though it is recognised that unless Mr. Roosevelt agrees to co-operate with President Hoover, very little effective work is possible before March,

The Timer regards the Note a significant for what it accepts and says the uffer to negotiate is an inqortant enutribution.

The Morning Port remarks that if ilie. Note represcuta America's con sidered attitude, a reasonable settlement of the debt question is disop

The Daily Telegraph says Britain will pay, but not again on these

terms,

The Daily Herald saya the Note contains strong hope for revision. The News Chronicle romarks that the whole controversy has narrowed down to the necessity of eonvincing Congress of the need for, war debt revision with the least loss to all countries concerned.

The inity Express still urges default.

Proceeding, the reply says the United States Government cannot accept the implications in the British Note that the loans made by the United States represent, in' their interest, expenditure on des- truction, that the payments hereto- fore made to the Lanited States have been largely responsible for the existing world depression and the concentration of a large amount of gold in the United States and that the complete cancellation of war debts is essential to world recovery,

NANKING, Dec. 9. THE Chinees Press and public

are most indignant following the publication of M. Boncour's and Sir John Simon's speecher on December 7, boing especially in-. dignant at Sir John Simon's state-

The official newspaper, the Gen- tral Daily News, calls Sir John Simon's speech "a most regrettable inéident in Sinn-British relations, which love so far beco of a mont friendly nature," and questions Sir John Simon's motive for at- tacking China, ignoring the find ings of the Lytton Commission and keeping silent on Japan's sole of violation of the Pact and Covenant. The paper concludes, "Sir John Bimon's speech will undoubtedly cause a strong reaction, possibly with deplorable consequence

Government in that regard, the American Government is not in accord, but does not desire to enter into a detailed discussion in view of the larger immediate inues.

In general, it is their view that the causes of depression lay in much more potent forces than these deble transactious and that in the total of receipts and outgo arising from the international transactions of the debtor countries and the United States, the debt payments had been a relatively minor item,

Gold "Drainage." -

The argument that the payment of these debta bad drained the gold reserves of other countries to the United States did not, the Note saya, soom borne out by actual experience.

The main fault in the distriba. tion of gold, supplies seemed to have occurred as between the dif ferent countries of Europe and could not be attributed to forces originating in the United Staten

Regarding the statement that the. initiative in devising the Lausando saltlement of reparation was taken with the cognisance and approval of the United States Government, it says the facts were more accur ately set out by the Chancellor of Exchequer's statement in July: proceedings there were: throughout on the basis, that the right course was to seek a Euro pean solution without involving the United States-in-discussion.2
