BUTLER, Staff Correspondent, Cross-Atlantio Newspaper Service. London, Dec. 21. "British traders' complaints of cancellations of contracts involving millions of dollars are becoming numerous," said Robert Hkinner, American Consul General at London today. "I have instructed American consuls thruout the British Isles to inquire carefully into Individual cases, and where the alleged cancellations are substantiated, to assist in accomplishing amicable adjustment thru Washington.

There has been no definite settlement yet but I 'am hopeful of clearing up the majority of claims soon. "Most of the compli lnts are from Manchester and vicinity where the great textile concerns- have been hit hard by American cancellations and thousands thrown out of work. "American exiorter are by no means the only ones complained of. The consula in other countries are busy on similar work of settling disputes." Kir Charles Bykes said recently, In an address before the Hudders-fleld Chamber of Commerce, that he had been informed that Washington would centralize the United States consular offieea In Great Britain in the near future and that the inland offices, with the exception of London, would be closed and the work concentrated in the ports. Consul General Skinner said that while the present tendency of the government is to reduce staffs or eliminate entirely the minor consulates, hlr Charles' information was inaccurate and It was not the Intention of the United States to close all the Inland consulatea in Great Britain.
