Paying for the War.

Christopher Turnor, an English CON
omist. writing in the London Chron-
icle Of recent date, say the agricul-
tural resources Of Britain can be so
developed as to practically pay the
cost of the present war. Turner notes
that in normal times the as. 900
people of Britain yearly eSpend So
100000 900 for food supplies. of which
amount only half is produced at home.
the balance consisting Of importations.
Meanwhile more than 100000 acres
Of arabic British land is unproductive
of food supplies and thousands of pos
sible land workers are crowded into
cities, insufficiently employed and fed.
Only a few British farms produce the
maximum Of possibility, owing to tax
methods of cultivation. Turnor argues
for some form of agricultural reor-
ganization and estimates that produc-
ton can be far more than doubled,
making it possible to realize 100000
100000 from this source to be applied
to the war debt.
