Expenditure Called Reckless
Mr.. McKenna told the Unionist bank

expenditure had been carried on in sc
reckless and unjustifable manner
that foreign trade, on which the coun-
try is dependent, was thoroughly dis
organised and that the remedy must
be found in "strct economy in admin
istration and the maintenance of COR
dial international relations" He paid
high tribute to Mr.. Bonar Law AL
though, he said, Great Britain is in no
danger from Bolshevism he could not
regard the Labor party with equanim-
isy, as capital levy would be ruinous
ID the state. Under the Labor plan for q
capital levy capital of $4,000 (nor-
NAL exchangel would be required to
pay s2,750 and one of $50,000,Q00 would
be taxed 29,5oo,o0 or 80 per cent
