part in the World war. See what the
British consumer and taxpayer has to
bear. The figures just published by
the labor ministry show that the cost
of living in Great Britain at the he
ginning Of the present month was 100
per cent above the cost in the year
before the war. And year ago it
was 1879 per cent above. Our SO per
cent looks small beside these figures.
As to British taxation and debt, our
commercial attache at London reports
to the department of commerce that
the heaviness of the taxation is zee
greatest obs tacle to a revival OF busi-
ness. The revenue raised last year,
he says, was more than twice as much
as the "deaaweight national debt in
1914. Interest on the existing debt
exceeds the entire war revenue OF the
British government, and the per capita
debt has leaped from S75 in 1914 to
$50 in 1921. 1t is within the mark
to say that American conditions are
about four times better.-Boston Her

Chinese, Let's and Hungaxans, fully

is no. advised whether this mass
slaughter has yet been carried out.

that millions of the starving arc
doomed, because it will be impossible
to reach them in time to save their
lives. Many towns, he adds. are &C

Moscow, Petrograd, Mini Novgorod,
