situation outlined by Lord North
cliffe is causing profound uneasiness
In Great Britain to the class repre-
sented by Lord Davenport. The idea
of permanently parting with this
wealth to far greater extent after
the war than before the conflict be-
gan. is abhorrent to the reactionary
millionaires.
Under the spur OF this disquietude.
1t is not difficult to understand that
there should prevail an exaggerated
sense Of financial alarm among the
reluctant millionaires. To couple url-
easiness over large permanent In
crease in taxation, which must be
borne, for the most part BY men OF
wealth, with warning about national
bankruptcy, is but millionaire's
method of self protection.
Lord Davenport speaks for the
moneyed class when he expresses
fear of bankruptcy. His plea, not di-
rectly expressed. but implied, in all
probability. is against piling up taxa
ton for the future. To emphasize
the seriousness of the situation, he
uses the word bankruptcy.
A certain class of British million
aires is thus beginning to revolt be-
cause of the costliness of the war.
These large tax payers reailze what
the permanent consequences OF the
war may be to their bank accounts
and they want TO lessen the effect as
much as possible. They may compel
the introduction OF goverrEs entail
economy: at the same time their dis
comfiture may prove to be an import
ant factor in the work Of bringing
about peace.
