{ by The Associated Press.

London. Dec 29.-India today is fac
ed with what is generally characterize
ed as one of the gravest crises in its
history owing to the deep and wide
spread unrest which has developed
since the end of the war While this
discomfort is the product of numcr-
Gus causes. in the main it is the result

The unrest has recently manifested
itself in various and serious ways.
There have been many great strikes iu
the large industrial centers. in some
cases accompanied by rioting aud

ILLEGAL PAWN
BROKERS OPER-
ATING IN SPAIN
(By The Associated Press. }

Madrid, Dec 27.-The poor of this
city have been greatly distressed by an
order of the government against the
operations of illegal pawn brokers'
Thousands Of workers rely upon pawn
shops to tide them over period of un.
employment. Heretofore. they have
had recourse to the Mont de piete, the
official pawn shop, which was estab-
lished to loan small amounts to the
needy poor at low rate of interest on
security of pledged articles. Now,
however, it has been turned into a
haven of refuge for eXtravagant folk
who pawn their jewels at high rates
of interest.
The poorer people were thus driven
away and compelled to resort to num-
crous small shops where they could
borrow under the preense Of selling
their valuables but with the tacit I'M
that the shOpkeeper would
allow them to redeem their goods at Il
heavy rate of interest
The minister of the interior has
stopped this by issuing royal order
forbidding such transactions. In con
sequence, the poor people are unable
to recover their goods from the shop
keepers. Public spirited Spaniards are
taking steps to induce the government
to restore the Monte de piete to its
original purpose and make it cater to
the poor.

Arriving at Cost.

He said it would be impossible to
compute accurately the exact amount
of appropriations under the bill, due to
the four options it carries. He believed
however, that the estimate he had made
was substantially correct. Any land
settlement means that the cost can only
be guessed at. Assuming that all men
would select one of the four optional
plans, Secretary Houston estimated that
the expense of each plan would he as
follows:
Adjusted service pay, $1,342. .OOO, 900.
Insurance provision, 81, 534 100000.

Farm and home development, $780,

Assuming that each man would make
some selection from one of the four
plans offered, and allowing for the var
iatiOns in selections, the secretary said
he estimated that this bill would cost

The secretary of the treasury pro-
fessed that the treasury is against the

this was merely by way Of information
