1t is a tough Job enforcing the prohibition laws
of the country when the citizens render no aid in
the matter and at the same time seek new ways
to supply liquor. Down along the Texas coast
four miles without the Galveston harbor, an en-
t~erprising mariner has anchored his ship which he
has remodeled into a floating club house. Here
he offers at pre-war prices Pilsener beer from Ger.

known in pre.Volstead days.
Will he make a go of it? Sure. Just because
men are forbidden these things, they will have
them. What will the United States do about it?
Nothing. There is nothing that can be done

London. April 10TH Mr.. S'ani y
Baldwin, Ch4ncel o of the E~xchequel,
4 ,livered his first budget speech today
to a crowded and intensely interested
honse. which included four former Chan
cellors of tn. Exc g uer, Messr As
ouith. Chamberlain. Lloyd George and
Horne. with a crowd of diStinguis he'd
in the galleries. On the

istic. diagnosis of the nations financial
and commercial health, delivered in a
vigorous concise style and eliciting con-
gratulations for Mr.. j. Ramsay Nc Don
aid, leader of the opposition, for its man
ner but not entirely for its substance.
The Chancellor was able to tell of steady
Improvement in trade and industry and
of hope for the future. He believed that
the country was experiencing a series of
transition years, but had passed the peak
If depression. At the same time he add
ed a warning that its hope might yet be
frustrated b. untoward events on the
continent. or at home. In contrast with
former times, when budget plans were
kent a strict secret until the speech was

ais had become public. the removal of

sugar and similar comm )ditie5, the lib
eral and labour parties beng very keen
for the free breakfast table. The Chan
cellor held out the hope cf some reduc-
ton in the sugar duty in the near future.
He also announced a nu nher of small
reductions in post; charges, telephone
rentals AMI telephOn calls and confirmed
that the government. is considering a
tax on betting. The latter however, is
mostly regarded as too contentious a
matter to be lightly undertaken. The
Chancellor laid marked stress on the
Importance of the utmost possible debt
reduction. There would be, he said,
plen : Of debt for our grandchildren
When they m He concended further
that nothing ea3ed the finding of capital
for industry so much as the recognized
policy of ~redeeming the public debt. Re-
marking that last years surplus cams
from the best of all possible causes,
namely, reduced expenditures, Mr.. Bald
win declares his determination to bring
about further economies in the coming
wear and announced that practically the
hole estimated yield from ID atl duti' IS
in the next three years would be applied
to sinking fund purposes. The Chan.
cellOr pointed out that under ~" revised
proposals the country would al be rals-
ing the enormous amount OF 700, OOO, 900
mounds in taxation yearly. Dealing with
90. .revenue, he doubted whether there
had been ans rise in the purchasing pow
er of the population. He said the con-
sumption of beer and spirits and to a less
extent, tobacco, had been touched. He
argued that it was useless further to
reduce taxation at the cost of debt re-
demption, sayi Ig to postpone debt re-
demption year after year means lnSol-
vency. Abiding to foreign Indebtedness
with the exce ption of the American debt
particularly. all othnrs had been extin-
guished, as they nj ght regard che Cana
dian debt as virtually settled. With re-
gard to the United States debt, ne said
the sinking fund on this was 70 OOO, OOO
dollars and the amount agreed upon to re-
pay this year in respect to the United
States loan for the purchase Of silver IN
der the Pittman act. 304 million dollars.
Explaining the decision not to touch the
sugar tax, the Chancellor thought 1t high
" improbable that the consumer would
be the gamer by any reduction for more
than a very short time, a reduction In
the tax would lead to an increased de-
mand and the money sacrificed by the

pockets of producers and retailers. Re,
garding the reduction in the price of
beer, he said the trade would contribute
four shiIlings per barrel, while the State
would contribute twenty shillings to the
reduction. He dilated on the disappO.nt-
ing results of the excess profits, annOunc
ing that the gross collection for the year
was only 81 million pounds. instead of
the estimated rs m lions, while the re-
funding of overpaid duty for the year
amounted to So million pounds. He in
timated, that in his opinion, little further
relief for the taxpayer could be hoped

were discovered, His speech was a mass

highly businesshke manner. Mr.. j.

strongly conden ned his omission to re-
duce taxes on sugar, tea and other COM
modities. He declared that this was
much more nel ded than a reduction in
the income tax which, mainly relieved
wealthy people. He especially condemned
failure to reduce the sugag tax which
bore heavily on the poor. Mr.. Nc Don
aid warned the Chancellor that the labOuT
party WCu'd Cffer hostile amendments
to his proposals. On the whole, the re-
ception of the budget was distinctly ia
vourable. The strongest opposition came
from the Iatour benches, where two lines
of att; ok will be made for further reduc-
tions of indifcI taxation and in favour
of some fo'm of action on caTitaI and

LARGEST AIRPLANE

Dayton, June is.-The largest air plane the world has known, vith a wing spread of l20 feet-half again as wide as the great Martin BomheFs Of the Army air serViee-will take ta the air for the first time here some time this month

 With it's great width and other measurements in proportion, the plane will dwarf the largest shins now used The height of the new plane will hf ss feet, while its length from nose 10 tail will be sh feet
 Driven hy six Liberty engines, the new shin will require minimum crew of four men and contain pro- visions for working force of eight men ta he used when the occasion requires, Exclusive of the crew, |, will weigh more than 40,0H0 pounds

Mir Rarling designed the shln as q fri plane of modified type, The upper and neither wings will he of practically the same dimensions. while that in the center will be narrower, Along its length will run the control devices giving them protection and adding a feature of safety.
 Describing the value Of the new plane as a machine of war, Mir. Bar ling, who during the war did much ex- perimental work for the British Royal Flying corps. says that its maximum load of several tons of explosives could do untold damage. One bomb of the size which the ship can carry would be capable of sinking the largest and newest type of naval vessel, he be- lieves.
 Likewise. a single bomb from the machine, he declares. could demoral- ize an entire community. Shonlh such rrojectile be dropped in the center of city. ile says. fifty-foot crater would be dug. all buildings in the vicinity completely destroyed and structures for a half mile or more around would be greatly damaged.
 The piaxe will have no passenger carrying facilities and it's value would rest entirely ir it's ability to transport large proiectiles great distances.
