CURTAIL OR QUIT,
SAYS LLOYD GEORGE
Wrote Forcible Letter Il
Ministerial Colleagues.

LONDON, Aug. 26.-After his recent
speech in the House of Commons, in
which he insisted upon economy, Pre-
mier Lloyd George wrote to his Min
isterlal colleagues calling attention to
the huge national expenditure and i'm
pressing upon them the need OF imme-
diately curtailing. The letter as quoted
by the Daily Mou says among other
things:
THE time has come when each Min
lster ought to make clear to those under
his control that IL they cannot reduce
expenditure they must make room for
somebody who can. That Is the public
temper. and it is right"
The Premier declares 1t is indefensible
that the STATS of the public services
have hardly been reduced perceptibly
since the ending of the war and says
that those responsible must be compelled
to perform their duty. however unpleas-
ant, with regard 10 ruthless cutting and
must content ourselves with the second
best where the best is too costly"
The Premier concludes by telling the
Ministers that they must find THE dur
ing vacation to consider the best method
of dealing with the question and report
to him by mid September what steps
they have taken or propose to take.

SAYING CAMPAIGN
Government, Stirred by Criti-

Budgets.
Special Gable Despatch 10 THE sUS.
CopyriOht. 1919. oil rf0hfs reseyped.

LONDON. Aug 26.-Alarmed by the
rapid decline in the value of the pound
sterling and goaded by an irate press,
the British Government to-day began n
widespread campaign OF retrenchment.
Aroused by the serious conditions due to
national extravaganza John Bull, in a
TRUE British rage, has set himself to cut
down costs with grim determination.
The first steps in the campaign were
made by Premier Lloyd George and Sir
Auckland Geddes, the latter declaring in
a speech last night that money spent by
the Government in the future would be
reviewed cent by cent while the Premier
has addressed a strongly worded letter
to all departments of state pointing out
the urgent need of effecting all possible
economies in order TO bring the nation
back to normal strength.
The Admiralty, War Office and Air
Ministry are instructed to present re-
vised estimates when Parliament re-
assemblies October %. These services,
the Government believes, must effect the
gratest economies, but the whole build
ing programme OF the navy also is under
review. Where 1t is cheaper to stop work
on ships than to complete them work
will be halted. Much building on the
Clyde alrea dy has been stopped and ex-
tensive construction at Chepstow, Beach
ley and Portbury has been halted. while
all unnecessary work ends to-day.
The production of explosives in Eng
and has been brought TO a sudden end
because already It has sufficient for its
needs. The famous explosives city
which sprang up like magic in 1917 and
spread itself over the fertile valley Of
Gretna Green will be evacuated soon by
the munitionettes It's miles of huts. its
stores and social centres and its bar
racks will be womanless. a grim monu-
ment to Englands effort during the war.
Control OF the town has passed from
the Ministry of Munitions to the local
county authorities. but the Ministry re-
mains as permanent landlord and will
resume manufacture in the future when
the present stocks Of munitions have
been used up
Never in the history of England has
the nation been so deeply stirred to re-
trenchment. DR.. T. j. Mcnamara, finan-
cial secretary of the Admiralty. con-
ferred to-day with experts from the
Clyde district and other shipyards and
decided to halt work on every warship
OF every class not actually ready for or
nearing readiness for launching, Ex-
perts Will decide In each case whether
1t Will be more economical to break I'D
the vessel on the slips or to complete
her.
The main intention is to get the slips
cleared for the construction OF merchant
| shipping battleship hulls are useless
for commercial purposes. but the hulls
OF the smaller vessels will be used
as basis for merchant ships. The men
working on warships will be put on COM
mercial shipbuilding, and every means
will be employed to avoid dislocating
labor and causing unemployment. Word
has been sent to the yards at Newcastle
Barrow and Belfast to begin immediate
l pruning.

The Price of Cotton.

We have said it before and say It
again: In order TO pay the labor
that produces it and the capital in
vested in it anything like the same
returns that labor and capital else
where get, this years disastrously
short crop of cotton should bring
40 cents a pound. We wish we
could say it ~ill bring 40 cents, but
we can at least say that there are
Just four reasons why prices are not
now mounting toward that figure :
First, the reduced consumption o.
American mills. owing, it is said
to labor troubles.
Second, the delay in ratifying the
Peace Treaty. and getting work bach
on q peace basis.
Third, the unsettled conditions il
the financial world, resulting in tn,
English pound, ncrmally wortl
S4.86 2-3 in America now being
worth $4.35. This means that an!
purchase in America now costs al
English buyer 1917 per cent premi
um for exchange on money. TIL,
Peace Treaty matter. however, wi
soon be settled labor troubles seen
in process of adjustment and W,
must believe that the abnormal sit
uation with re gard to English mt I
ey will soon adjust itself.
The fourth reason why cottol
prices are not climbing toward Al
cents, however. is most importan
of all. The reason is simply tn,
belief that the farmers will let tn,
crop go for less. No we'll organized
union of town laborers would sub
NIT to any less remunerative price
for their labor, however and VIII
should the farmer? If he goes o.
a strike, he can hold out longc
than the city wage Garner. and VIII
should he not in peaceful and Il
gal way refuse to take less than
fir price for the prodl ct of his toll
In view of the reduced acreag
this year, a good crop Of cotto
should have brought 33 to 35 cent
q pound. With a disastrously poe
crop such as we have, a 40cer
price means only a living wage f.
the producer; and he, like the cit
laborer, owes it to his family an,
those dependant on him to dem nj
this living wage. The Progrsssiv
