LONDON, Oct. 25.-Under the caption
Half a Year Nearer Bankruptcy" The
Weekly Times and Echo of this city, il
the leading editorial of its current
issue, declares that Great Britain is on
the verge of national bankruptcy. Start
ing out with the statement that the
country is on the edge of such a winter
as its agricultural, industrial and work
ing classes have not known since the
fearful times of 1S49, it makes an extra
ordinary revelation concerning the ma
tional finances. Last spring, lin pre-
senting his budget. Sir William Ver-
non Harcourt, the chancellor of the ex-
chequer, admitted that be expected a
decline of $500, 600 in the revenue for
'S3 "a as compared with the revenue
for the year ending in March. This at
the time wal regarded as q conserva-
tive estimate, but the figures now re-
vealed show that the decrease during
the first quarter only, or up to the
end Of June. was e750, 600, and that
the quarter just ended shows q de-
crease OF another $500. 900. In other
words, with the winter yet to come, the
country is already 81, CSC, 900, or some
thing In the neighborhood OF $1,000, 600
to the bad. The receipts Of the Gus
toms show q decline Of nearly $500, 600
and Q stamps q third Of q mil
lion more. The Times figures it up
that the total deficit by next March
cannot be less than $40. OO0. 600 to $12,-
O00, 700, and that in the face Of the ter
rible and increasing depression oil over
the country these figures and the pros
pects are absolutely appalling.
