Six Bob in Pound
Tax Stirs Britain

By DAVID n. CHURCH.

London. May iJ,-"Sis bob in the
pound"
That Is the answer TO political un,
rest IN Great Britain,
"Sis bob in the pound" q phrase
which has almos, achieved the status
OF an epiihet with the average Eng
lishman, means that every British
subject Is taxed on . basis whereby
he pays o shillines TO the government
in taxes Tor every 20 shillings he
makes IN income.
Whether Lloyd George resigns or
not. whether new national party is
formed or whether there be a new
government formed by the old
parties, Il Is virtually certain that
future lie Tor British statesmen Is
going to be unpleasant as long as
British subjects can continue 10
storm about their taxation OF six
bob in the pound"
Bfiiishers are surieiied with taxa
ton. There is little or no prospect
OF relief IN sight for them. There
have been promises Of reductions OF
taxes. but while the war debts arc
heavy there seems little prospect OF
lessening OF the tax burden. The
Washington conference will mean a
reduction OF approximately 100000
pounds a year in British expendi-
tures. and the Geddes economy com.
mi,tee recommendations promised
even greater reductions. but neither
OF these tentative reductions have
brought definite promises OF rcdue-
tions in taxation.
The workingman in England pro-
tests against the tax upon his beer
and his tobacco. The middle class
business man protests against the
income tax. and the wealthy man
literally howls with rage every time
the subject OF taxation IS men
toned. Everyone wants a govern
ment that can reduce taxes. There
is no statesmen who feels capable OF
making any rash promise in this di-
rection. Hence il seems certain that
for some time to come the path OF
the British politician is to be a
thorny one.
When six bob in the pound IS no
longer a British epithet. then there
may come period when politics in
Great Britain will not be in constant
turmoil.

London Corners
Diamond Market
Astute Business Methods Of
Syndicate Eliminates
All Competition.

London, May l3.-London has
completely cornered the diamond
market Of the world.
By an astutc financial move the
last vestige of competition for the
rough diamond market has been elim-
mated, so that it is absolutely i'm
possible for a single rough diamond
to be purchased direct anywhere in
the world outside two blocks of
buildings-one on either side OF Ho-
born Viaduct, London.
For a long time the output OF the
worlds diamond mines has been
falling more and more into fewer
hands. but there remained, up to a
few days ago, at least two big chan
nels OF disposal, and there was COM
petition between the markets Of Lon
don and Antwerp
South Africa's output passed
through English channels and was
handled by the South African dia-
mond syndicate in London. The
Congo output was handled by an
other syndicate, which was outside
the trust" .......
The Anglo-American syndicate, in
which the Morgans are largely inter-
ested, recently bought the German
Southwest African mines and now
has taken over the Congo group,
which has its center at Antwerp. 1t
also has just purchased Congo dia-
monds to the value of 100000
francs.
By the agreement just reached the
Anglo-American syndicate and the
South African syndicate have de-
cided to work entirely together.
In future London will be the only
channel through which the rough
diamond can reach the lapidary. This
means that the market will always
be held up, strongly and destroy any
chance of q slump in the prices OF
diamonds.

The women oi the South Sea

dress than the American girl"
IL was an American man who said
those words. a sunburncd young
man with obseryant gray eyes
James Norman Hall. author OF
"Faery Lands OF the South Seas
the same Mr.. Hall who has lived in
his faery isles for several years, and
who has declared he is through with
civilization forever. Listen 10 what
he said;
Since returning to the United
States ! have had chance to see the
American girl only on the street.
Even there | was struck by her lack
OF modesty. No girl OF the South
Sea islands would dress like that.
j, is a mistaken idea that the women
go about as the photographs which
reach American would indicate. As
a matter OF fact. the clothes OF the
island girl are much more modes,
than the girls up here.
Always Barelegged.
"Of course, the island girls are
always baretooted and barelcgged,
but that is so natural and simple.
You look at il as ii at q tree-it is
not meant TO be suggestive"
do you think" l asked him. shat
il would be more modest and-er
simplc-if the modern girl were to
go about without any shoes or stock
ings"
well, evaded Mr.. Hall, "tbc mod.
ern girl docs dress to attract the
eye III a suggestive manner, now
doesn't she?"
"You made a statement" ! said,
"that the women OF the South Seas
are more modest than the girls you
have seen here"

"They are," he declared.
''How about these pictures show
ing an island beauty wearing a
string of beads and flower in her
"As matter of fact" he answered,
1--WE don't see half as much OF the
women there as you do up here. The
pictures you see are taken by photo
graphers who get some street girl
in Papette to pose for them. The
island women wear soft, white |
dresses OF q conservative length
added this young man who has
written a romance which would fit
the title, "Thc Truth About the

"What else strikes you about the
American girl?" Il asked. "How
else has she ehanged!"
Coffee and Cream.
II am struck by the number Of
mems jobs that women are holding
in politics, the professions, etc.
Personally, after living in the South
Seas, I don't think it good thing
that is, for, the women themselves.
1t seems to me they lose good deal
of charm-certainly they lose a good
deal of romantic interest"
mo doubt the island women have
great deal of romantic interest,""
I suggested.
They have very beautiful hair,
fine teeth and lovely skin," he an
swercd vaguely.
Frederick O'Brient said that they
are about the color of coffee and
cream. Is that a good description
OF them?"
That's all right-only don't put
In TOO much cream"
