not seem possible to a considerable ex-

Despite these adverse financial fea-

that the Bank of London discount rate
will be reduced in the near future. per-

These expectations, although proba-

that reduction in the London bank

LONDON, Jan. 16.-Public opinion and
business circles here are deeply stirred
by the governments announcement of
increased telephone rates, and repre-
sent the higher rates as an especially
Irritating form Of taxation on business.
which is necessitated only by official
acknowledgement and wastefulness. The
government defense issued by the Post
master shows that telephone rates have
not increased as much as railroad
charges and the prices of everything
else that the public buys and that the
increase is necessitated by higher wages.
enhanced cost of materials and the
necessity Of making government serv-
ices solvent. This logic appears in
vincible, and unquestionably telephone
services have been very wastefully used
by business men here.
The whole agitation is int resting
burden imposed on the public by heavy
official expenditures, which thus finds
Illogical expression.
The solution Of the problem of unem-
ployment is complicated by the refusal
of labor leaders to take part in the
proposed commission of inquiry into
measures to relieve the causes of the
evil. The attitude of labor is difficult
to understand. 1t originally refused to
cooperate because the terms referred
to the commission were too narrow.
The government promptly widened the
terms, but labor still refused to Join
the commission and insists on holding
an inquiry on its own account which
will report to the National Labor Con-
ference on January 27. 1t looks as if
the labor leaders are quite unprepared
to suggest any workable scheme and
want time to devise measures for the
crisis, which is of urgent Importance.
1t is regrettable that such tactics on
their part are likely to weaken still
further their authority with their fol-
lowers, who are already divided and
unruly. Meantime, it seems that the
government is really taking vigorous
measures to reduce expenditure.
Fresh exhortation for a drastic re-
strictlon of spending has been issued
to all government departments, es,
pecially the army and navy The Labor
Ministry has been advised to cease
spending on labor exchanges and the
Ministry of Health has been asked to
curtail further OUTLAWS. These meas
ures were evidently necessitated, since
the public will not stand for further
taxation and as the yield on present
taxes will certainly be cut in the future
by dwindling trade and lower prices.
Some financial critics suggest that

Suggestions made in some English

DEBT TO America by handing over to the
United States government the obliga-
lies are heartily condemned by the best
lions Of Great Britain's Continental al
financial opinion here.
There is slight glimmer of improve
ment in the trade outlook. Manchester
reports better demand for cotton
goods, but it is believed here that
America should lead the way to re-
covery. Retail trade here cannot reach
really healthy condition until there
has been more drastic liquidation Of
goods. There have been price reduc
tons in goods OF inferior quality. bu,
the best grades still hold up to prepos
ferrous levels compared with the drop in
wholesale quotations in December.
Foreign trade returns have been dis
appointing. with decrease in exports
and an expansion of the adverse trade
balance. Nevertheless the years figures
will make highly satisfactory show
ing compared with the previous inter
national outlook.
The political outlook is uncomfort-
able, but the field of finance has be-
come so accustomed to this discomfort
that 1t almost ignores it. The fall Of

good sportsmanship by insisting on
continuing the game last Wednesday

partners were caught far out on the
course in a downpour.
Saturday afternoon the President
