BRITISH FACING,
GREAT PROBLEM
Outlook for New Year Not So Bright
Unemployment and Ireland
Furnish Food for Thought
For Lloyd George


London, Jan. 1.--Britain's outlook
for 1921 is pictured in rather sombre
colors by the politicians, economists,
financiers and labor leaders. At
home two outstanding problems-un-
employment and Ireland-have baf-
fled the government, while it is also
besieged by many results Of the war,
including a vigorous newspaper cam
paign against socalled government
extravaganza.
In the foreign field looking east
ward, there is the perplexing prob
lem of settling the Palestine boun-
daries, promising some pointed ex-
changes of opinion with France,
Mesopotamia with it's huge expense
and its oil, the ever present Persian
difficulties which the last agreement
has not allayed, India which is in a
greater state of unrest than for
years, requiring an exceptionally
large garrison; Russia with her
trade proposals which have caused
split in the British cabinet, and
the uncertain Greek situation.
Officials here believe that within
the next IL months important deal
ings between Great Britain and the
United States will necessitate most
careful handling.
Negotiations between the two
countries have been almost dormant
since the political conventions in the
United States. There is a desire here
to clear up the oil question which
has been the subject of long series
of communications on the question
as to the extent to which the
United States shall participate in the
world petroleum supply, much of
which is under British mandate. 1t
is believed, however, that consider
able more negotiating is necessary
before an agreement is reached.
Cable Control Question.
Settlement of cable control also
offers many perplexing things, par
ticularly in that the United States is
continually reaching forth for world
trade. Shipping experts and, officials
are of the opinion that the new mer-
camille marine of the United States
is likely to bring up a question OF
adroit diplomacy and point to Secre-.
| tary Daniels announcement Of a big
naval program as the forerunner for
shipping differences. Officials here
have not desired to push these ques-
tons to a settlement until advent
of the new American administration
but hope to get them under way soon
after March a.
While the government is being
| seriously pressed on one side to cease
enormous expenditure, it is besieged
on the other With demands for un-
employment funds, cash for housing
schemes and other postwar expen-
ditures with result that there is
little likelihood of reduction in the
burdensome taxation.
Cost of Living.
Some relief is promised in reduced
cost of living except in the price Of
food which rose steadily during
1920. With industry hard hit and
million jobless, merchants who had
been holding commodities for high
prices are expected to continue to
dump their goods at loss. This has
caused slight reductions during the
latter weeks of the old year.
AS the year opens the Lloyd George
government apparently in maintain
ing a firm hold and there is little
evidence that any of the many small

INCOME TAX RELIEF
I. FOR WORKERS IS URGED
Equalization of Burdens on Bust
=, ness Also Asked by Dry
Goods Committee.

relief OF the workers of the coun-
try from income taxes. and equaliZa-
ton of the tax burden upon business
through a detailed plan which would
provide $4.000.000,00O required for the
ANNUAL budget, was proposed to the
ways and means committee today by
the tax revision committee of the Ma
tional Retail Dry Goods Association.
The plan proposes that distinc-
ton be made between income from
manual or mental effort and income
from business investment. In this
would fix the exemption from income
$4,000 for heads of families. instead
of the $1,000 and $4,000 exemptions
that now prevail.
graduated scale on income taxes
also would be established under the
plan, income from salaries, wages
and commissions being taxed at the
lowest rate; income derived from
business at a higher rate, and all
other income, including profits from
sales as capital assets, to a still
greater degree.
The committee was informed in a
statement accompanying the brief
that the associations proposal had
been concurred in through a referen-
dunn among it's 1000 members.
The committee, Chairman Fordney
said. would take up the suggestions
of the association when it resumes
of revenue legislation,
which will not be until after revision
of the tariff has been completed.

10000 TONS INCREASE
IN SUGAR IMPORTATION
Nearly Complete Cessation Of Corn
Importations From Argentina :
Is Noted.

Nearly 10000, 900 pounds more Of
sugar were imported into the United
States last November than during the
corresponding week of 1919. accord
ing to report of the bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce made
public last night. A departure from
the usual trend of the cane sugar
traffic was noted in that Cuba con-
tributed considerably less than half
the months total, the figures being
1S3.576.147 out of a total of 433,143.-
7SS.959 out of a total of 414,709,94S
pounds in November, 1919
Another reversal of usual condi-
tons in the foreign market noted in
the report was the. nearly complete
Argentina for the month. In Novem-
Der. 1919, 1.307,S79 bushels were i'm
ported from the South American re-
public, while in the same month last
year the United States took but
40.10o bushels of the crop. leaving
her record Of imports from Argentina
in November of the previous year.
In the importation of wool both
from Argentina and. Uruguay the
total was far below the 1919 figure.
Wool brought in from the two coun-
947.306 and 1.241,105 pounds. re-
spectively, against the 1919 November
totals Of 12.7ss,3oa and .4.75s,373.
Total imports from South America
of all commodities during November
suffer almost equally by comparison
with those Of the same month OF
1919. Totals computed in money
were: November. 1919. Ss1.s15.6sS
November. 1920. $4O.1o5.91o.
In exports. however, wheat took a
squirt, mounting to a total of 26,e35,-
lat bushels shipped to all countries
against the November, 1919. figure OF

Santa Claus" paid a belated visit

Joy beamed from the faces of
