London.-The House of Commons
had before 1t at Tuesdays session the
introduction by Andrew Bonar Law,
chancellor of the exchequer Of the
vote of credit for f400. .000,0 900 and one
OF the Chancellor's periodic statements
regarding the finances of the war. The
Chancellor said that in the period from
July 22 to September 20 the daily aver
age expenditures OF the British gov
ernment was e6,414,O00. The expendi-
lures of the army and navy exceeded
the budget estimate by G500,000 daily.
The average daily expenditure since
the beginning Of the financial year was
f6.64S.O0o, or a1.237.00o above the
budget estimate.
The Chancellor said that as far as
he could judge the position in the sec
ond half Of the year would not be quite
as favorable as In the first half. partly
on account OF the increased pay for
the navy and army. The increased
pay Of sailors and soldiers and the sub.
sidizing Of the loaf would amount to
between e40.000.00O and a5o.00o, 900
In the second part Of the financial
year.
German taxation had been increased
by more than 1S5,000,000. but that
sum fell short by a55,000,0O0 OF the
interest on the war debt.
The Chancellor said the German
Relchstag had passed votes OF credit
which amounted to f4,700, 900 900, eI.
elusive OF advances TO allies. There
were indications, he said, that Ger
man would be hopelessly bankrupt at
the end Of the war. The Allies could
bear the financial burden longer than
Germany and It would not be lack of
money that would prevent them from
winning.
II the war ended as the Allies meant
II should, the financial burden would
be one which could be borne.
II am glad to be able TO take this
opportunity Of saying how much rea.
son not only the British, but all the
Allied governments have for appre-
ciating the very generous way in
which the United States government
has come to their assistance in financ.
ing purchases in America" said the
Chancellor. 1T is an open secret that
until America came into the war the
method OF financing our purchases
there and the question Of exchange
were not only serious problems. but,
In my opinion, almost insoluble prob.
lens.
"The fact that America has given
generous assistance at times when she
was incurring expenditures at q
heavier rate than any Of the Allies
believe It my duty publicly to
acknowledge"

The purposes Of the licensing sys-
