FREE STATE ASKS
STRICT ECONOMY
Government, Facing Financial
Crisis, Prepares Policy Of
Retrenchment.
Ry the Associated prass

By the Associated Press.
DUBLIN, December 29.-The Free
State government is confronted with
serious financial problems, and the
finance minister has announced that
the balancing of the budget can be
accomplished only by practicine strict
economy, as taxation has reached the
limit The dali has indorsed the
economies on salaries Of school teach
ers and old age pensions on the as
surance that cuts are to be enforced
in other departments
= Criticism has been directed at the
expenditure CAUSED by the change of
government and the consequence that
the Free State now is obliged to pay
pensions to displaced British officials
as we'll as the salaries OF those ap-
pointed to succeed them.
/. It Is hoped to effect q large saving
in the expense Of the army by re-
ducing the present cost of more than
$50, 100000 to about $20,000,000. 1t
has been urged that Ireland does not
need an army larger than that of
Canada, which costs $7,500,000. The
British government has allocated
100000 to provide houEes for the
ex-soldiers The fund Is to be ad-
ministered by board OF five men,
bers, three to be named by the Brit
isil government and one each by the
northern and southern governments

the conservatives. but ahey will owe
office to the liberals and will hold
Office only so long as the liberals ap-
prove.
There is much speculative. in these
circumstances, as to MacDonald's .
course. Will he choose to break with
the extremists and accept the po-
sition or capetaker for the liberals,
or will he plunge with extreme pro-
posalS, challenge the liberals to join
the conservatives against him. and
go to the country with predatory
policy?s:'
The writer's view is that he will go
cautiously and aim at creating a good
as it is clear that the right of dis
solving parliament and ordering a
new election in case OF defeat will
not be conceded. In that case, the
king would certainly send for Mr..
Asquith and invite him to form a
government. The latter unique estion-
ably would accept. without negotiat-
ing for the support of either con-
servatives or labor. leaving them
with the responsibility of supporting
or defeating him as they saw fit.
Will Give Labor Chance.
But the present disposition of Mr..
Asquith is to give labor a fair run
and, within well defined limits, sup
port.
If Macdonald drops the idea of
capital levy and the extreme pro-
posals Of socialism there Is no rea-
son why he should not have some
months in Office.
1t is generally assumed that Mr..
Macdonald will decide to be his own
foreign minister, and his close con-
nection with democratic forces in the
continental countries is expected to
give an important and far-reaching
impulse to the foreign policy.
Much interest has been excited by
the statement of the Archbishop Of
Canterbury with eregard to the con-
versations between representatives
of the Anglican and the Roman
churches on the subject of the re-
union of Christendom. The state
ment was remarkable as an evidence
of the changed attitude of Protes-
tantism toward Rome during the past
quarter of a century. Little evidence
is forthcoming Of a corresponding
change of attitude on the part of
Rome toward Professionalism. If any
one goes to Canossa it will be the
archbishop, not the Pope.

much on1cial interest in this aspect

tnat this Inauguration OF an annual
