ENGLAND MAY YET
 TAX BACHELORS
Last Haven Of Unmarried Men
 Threatened

London, March II Rl-Europc has cea ased to be a bachelors para = disc. Governments of England and the continental countries are seeing 10 if that the phrase single blessed ness" become but d memory of the past.
 A move in England 10 tax bache- lors, which Winston Churchill, chancellor of the exchequer, is now considering. is the climax to gen. eral offensive which Europe has been conducting against the pock ethooks Of the girl shy.
 Great Britain is expectantly awaiting the presentation of the chancollor's next bud get, which will probably contain the bachelor tax. There arc some c,650,7i6 bachelors of full age in England.
 If England passes the bachelor tax many famous mon will come bishop of York. Lord Baltour, Jus flee McCardie, Sir Philip Sasson. under secretary of the air; Lord Re- vels'oke, director of the Bank Of England, and the Bishop of Lon don are all bachelors.
 Some Of the English bachelors have great wealth and beautiful homes and estates. which make them all the more eligible in the feminine eye. The young Duke Of Norfolk. who owns 5o,0on acres; Sir Robert Horne, who occupies a do7- en directorships, and Lord Valen- tia, the premier baronet Of Ireland. are among them.
 Great Britain is thus far behind other nations of Europe in entrap- ping the bachelor. In Germany Arnold IIirtsiefer minister of pub lie welfare, has advocated a bache- Tor tax to make up 3 deficiency in the budget.
 Spain has made arrangements for an immediate imposition or such q tax. British and other for eign residents in Spain have made a protest. but tho protest is nor deemed likely to bear fruit.
 Italy believes that q man of 6 is still an eligible bachelor. She be- gan last year 10 tax bachelors be- tween 25 and 65. Premier Musso- lini estimates that Italy will re- ceive $e.5o0,oo0 year from this tax.
 France has taxed bachelors since 1920. Unmarried men Of 90 years and more pay q super income tax of c5 per cent. This number of extra taxpayers reached 260,000 last year. France. however. believes in butter ing the bread on two sides. for she also taxes unmarried women of 90 and over. and even married couples who have been married more than two years and have no children are taxed 10 per cent over the normal rate.
 France. 10 repair the drain of the World war on her manhood and 10 recover from her present low birth rate. is offering many privi- leges to large families.
