ENGLAND TURNING
EAGERLY TO 1927
Expiring Year Worst in Eco
nomic History, But Upturn
Is Now Expected.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

BY Cable to The star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright, 1926.
LONDON, December 3l.-With
nearly 100000 living on unemploy'
ment doles and 10000 600 receiving
poor relief, that is. more than 10 per
cent of the entire population subsist-
ing on public charity. and with a
budgetary deficit estimated at APP
proximately 500, 900, England to-
day is glad to see 1926 go and is look
ing forward with great expectations
toward a better new year.
Bankers, industrialists and politi-
clans all agree that it is impossible
that 1927 should not be better than
the past year, which was one of the
worst known in England's economic
history. Nineteen twenty-siX, which
began under suspicious circum.
stances with q budgetary excess of
$50, 900 900, became England's black
year. The general strike created big
holes in the treasury, while the coal
lockout paralyzed England's industrial
life

Tax Increase Likely.

The income tax from the big in
dustries did not yield amounts esti-
mated by the treasury. Postal, tele-
graph and telephone revenues drop
ped some % per cent. At the end of
the financial year the chancellor of
the exchequer will be forced to find
new sources of income to fill the
deficit
There is no doubt that the tax of
6 pence of the pound on small in
comes, which was taken off last year.
will be restored. And it is a bare
possibility that another pence will
be added, although the government
realizes how unpopular this measure
would be.
The treasury is at present study
ing the tariffs with view to finding
what imported articles could be taxed
successfully. Although England still
claims to be on a free trade basis,
silks, motor cars, tobacco, spirits,
gloves, cameras, films. perfume, must
cal instruments and fruits already
are heavily taxed, and the treasury
undoubtedly will find it hard to dis
cover what other imported articles
could yield profitable income.
Turns to War Debtors.
lnufcnllI Is turning tOWdTu the WI
debtors, intending to press them for
payment. Premier Poincare of France,
whom he approached in the course of
the month, gave only a vague and
non-committal reply. The Greeks.
Serbs and Portuguese have promised
ito give their sympathetic attention
to the question" But little can be
expected from these countries to help
cover the huge deficit.
According to trustworthy reports.
the question of a short term internal
loan in addition to the conversion
loan issued December q, is now being
seriously considered. In spite of these
adverse circumstances the British
bankers and industrialists are opti-
mistic. They point out that despite the
heavy handicap of the coal strike, the
British motor car industry progressed
so much in 1926 that today it chal-
lenges the supremacy of American
cars in world markets. BY adopting
the mass production system, operat-
ing equipment, reducing prices, and
profiting by certain tariff advantages
in foreign countries, the British
take Americas place. In October
alone British firms sold $3.50, 900, 900
worth of cars.
The same kind of effort is being
made in aviation, where close cooper
alton between the government and
the factories enables Great Britain to
look forward to ruling the air as she
rules the seas.

Outlines Coming Address.

The prime minister expects to make
an address while in Canada on the
question of Australian defense. A
member Of his staff gave out several
pertinent figures on the Australian
naval program this morning. Since
July. 1924, the Australian Parliament
has appropriated f5,500,000 for a five
year program of naval construction,
which includes two 10,000-ton cruis-
ers, to be commissioned in 1928. one
of which will probably be named the
Australia, after the battleship which
was scrapped in fulfillment of the
Washington treaty: two ocean.going
submarines, to be commissioned in
1927, and one seaplane carrier of 5000
tons, to be commissioned in 1928.
Further Australian appropriations
include 100000 for the purchase of
arms and armament and survey OF
the Great Barrier Reef, and f250,OO0
for the purchase of aircraft equip
ment and provision for air forge &C
commodation. During the present
fiye-year program, of which this IS
the third, the Australian government
is spending f25,000,000 for the ordi-
nary maintenance of defense. fo,-

things are necessary:
1. Proper permits and license

These will not include the right to

2. A knowledge of the country

World travellers, American Con-

that one may search the world

But Honey Lou was not at all

her desk seemed to stand still.

sweet about asking her to drive
