EXTREME PESSIMISM
IS FELT IN ENGLAND
OVER UNEMPL0YM
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Dec Extreme anx.
iety is felt by the British people over
conditions of unemployment, and in
some quarters the opinion is held that
the crisis is more serious than any
of it's predecessors.
This pessimism is reflected in edi-
torial comment relative to government
proposals to relieve distress, and there
is fretful tone in some comment
which further emphasizes forebodings
over the prospects of the coming win
ter. 1t is predicted that in spite of all
aids that may be devised, the next
few months may bring privations to
many thousands.
Premier Lloyd George outlined his
plan for relieving the unemployed in
the houseSof~ commons yesterday, and
newspapers give him credit for doing
whatever is possible by resorting to
makeshifts which are admittedly pal
liatives. Some newspapers apologize
for the governments plan, contending
that it is better than the efforts of all
previous governments to meet critical
conditions in the labor world.
Attack Cabinet.
On the other hand, many newspa-
pers attack the cabinet for doing too
little, too much, or the wrong thing.
The country, some of these critics
insist, is already overtaxed to an intol-
cradle extent and cannot afford such
relief measures as were outlined by
the premier. They assert the govern
ment is merely buying off trouble for
the present by mortgaging the future,
hoping when the crash comes that the
present minister will not be there"
The labor press declares that what
the government offers is merely a
drop in the ocean" and almost
farcical

MAY CLEAR WAY FOR
RACING AT BOWIE

The Prince Georges Racing Com
mission bill, which has passed the
House. was favorably reported in the
Senate yesterday and passed 70 a
third reading without objections.
The bill would create a racing COM
mission for Prince Georges county
which would legalize racing at Bowie,
but as this bill carries no emergency
clause and thus viii not 90 into eff
feet until June /, and as the Court
OF Appeals decided that there was no
legal excuse for any racing at Bowie
now, the spring meeting at Bowie will
have to he called of unless some sup
Elementary legislation be ENACTED.
II is doubted that any effort will
be made to add an emergency clause
TO the Bowie bill, but if it be passed
finally and signed by the Governor the
Bowie people are expected TO attempt
some legislation legalizing the spring
meet which is scheduled next month.
There are indications that when the
Bowie bill comes up on third reading
in the Senate an effort will be made
by the opponents of all racing TO de-
lay it until the general question of
racing in the State is decided.

AFTER W|NTERING AT
BENNING HORSES ARE
READY FOR BOWIE co

Probably as many as one hundred
and twenty-five of the horses that have
wintered at Benning track in the Dis
trict of Columbia some fourteen miles
from Bowie will be ready to take part
in the spring racing OF the Southern
Maryland Agricultural Association,
providing the legal situation does not
interfere. The Benning horses are not
as backward as it was feared they
might be month ago.
For three weeks the going Of the old
Washington course has been in good
condition and racers of all sorts have
been galloping swiftly these twelve or
fourteen days. Very few of the Ben
ming stables will transfer to Bowie,
however. Such horses as are entered
in the Southern Maryland races from
day to day viii travel too and from the
track in express cars that will be fur
nished by the interurban electric serv-
ice between Washington and Balti-
more.
Among the Benning horsemen who
are preparing to race at Bowie are:
John f. Schorr, Elmer Truman, Will
liam Brooks, Max Smart, William p.
Burch. j. s. Tyree. J. w. Bean, Michael
Kelly, William Shields, Matt Brady,
Jere Murphy and James Healey. Beside
the horses of the Bean stable, Kelly is

effort to race any of Captain Joseph E.

though some fiat racing would promote

got ready. There is plenty of activity
in the steeplechase field at Benning
and there are many promising fencers
in the Lumsden string.
