were taxed at shilling in the pound
before the war, they would require to
be taxed at over ten shillings in the
pound on the same earnings today in
order to meet the new debt charges.
And not only are we burdened with
the past cost of the war in the shape
of the national debt of s7,5O0,000, 900;
we are still spending at the rate of
94,5OO,O0O day, or s1,642,5OO,O0O a
year, and that sum must also be paid
by the citizens, or added to their debt.
To-day the British nation is living
on its capital and its credit, for though
we have not gone out of business, we
are spending more than we are earn.
Ing. In our business, too, we are ac-
tually buying more than we are SELL
Ing, and consuming the surplus.
To-day, based on averages, esti-
mate our total exports for 1919 at
e790, 100000, and total imports at s1,-
0O,OOO,O0O. Hence the excess of i'm
ports over exports is now e61O,OOO,.
OOO per annum as compared with
9134 100000 before the war. We are
no longer trading at a national profit,
for we are buying in excess of our
sales.
1T must be borne in mind that prac-
tically all State expenditure must be
paid for by taxation. AS IT. is, the
Chancellor is afraid to tax us to the
extent which would permit taxation to
pay for current expenditure.
A Black Outlook.
Goal, one of our most valuable ex.
ports, is short, and is so high-priced
that it no longer commands world
wide sale. Our other exports will be
subject to fierce rivalry from America
and Japan in the open market. Our
high prices, due to debt, taxation, slow
methods, shorter hours and restric-
tions so limit trade that there is no
employment for the many workers
still returning from the fighting forces
and from war contract work.

food, fuel and clothing will be very
scarce and dear; taxation will be
heavier than ever; unemployment will

trade may have passed away from us,

worth of journalistic notoriety), has
given the following statement on the
aspect of financial affairs in Britain.
1--WE have accumulated an addition
al debt of at least $75O,00O,O in the
past three months.
What does that mean?
"Obviously it means that the Gov
ernment is spending at the rate of not
less than $3,0o0,00O,O0O a year more
than it receives. 1t means that, with
every day that passes, the dead
weight interest on this debt of ours
increases by nearly $750,000. 1t means
that we are drifting toward catas-
trophe.
''Thus Lloyd George will be con-
fronted with position which will tax
to the utmost all his ingenuity and
resource. He can hardly address him
self to single one of the vast prob
lens now facing him-whether it be
Russia, Ireland, housing, education,
pensions or ionalization-without
first considering the financial and eco

which some people talk with an airy
