A BAMS JA r) REVIEW; ,i\r\ ,1 Q a &1 w Ui SIR EDWAiD HOLOE N'S ANNUAL 81 AI tMENL Sir Ed vara Holden has again given the financial and j:>oliticatl peopio of th43 nation another of his annual statements, in the course of hi", address to the ehare- holders of the great Hank over which he prosidos with such conspicuous ability, h.' iurrejed the iiaaiiciai position, of trie greater part of the world, and, as usual, J showed not only a complete mastery over the details of the subject, but also a keen appreciation of the meaning of de-- tails. Those who know him, and they are many, a?ways look to Sir Edward for wise guidance and for sage deductions ftoiu the data at his disposal, and not the ieast of the charms of 11;5 addresses is the faculty h-e haw of sotting forth what lie has to gay iu language that is at once vigorous in its grasp on his subject and plain to the understanding of even the uninitiated. There is, aiso, his remark- able faculty of adapting himself to the particular phase.? as governed by the l?ricd, l1d thoM who re?d the &peoch reported in another column ox this j-suc will find that he is fully up to date m 1 his tummary of the international position ns affcded by the great war now in pro giess. 'That is why v,e venture to çœn- mend the speech to the attention of. everyone who can spare time to read it. Sir Edward Iloldeu commenced his re- marks with a note of certainty, end ended with a llot, of optimism. London is still the eeatre of the world's tin,-tuce. and -he believes that it will remain "0. But beiweeji the tvjo assertions there are sonous factors and grave warnings. AI. though he does not go into details upon! this particular point, he is quite piain in the warning that our exports are Dot fcnliicient to meet the cost of the import, and also in his indication that people of tlie nation at large rill be obliged sooner or later—and the tooner the better—to j practice far greater economy than is the j case at present, particularly m the ex-! tent to which they are consumers of articles produced abroad that come under the head of luxuries. It was no part of Sir Edward's task to enter upon the poll-1 tici*l aspect of the case. Had it been, lipi might have referred to the fact that for the past year our imports were worth about 450 millions sterling more than our exports in kind. This mean6 that the Government will be justi-l iied, if tome improvement IS not effected by other means, in taking steps to curtail the amount of luxuries brought into the country. Unfortun- ately, people do not realise that every El of burden tiiey throw upon the bankers who nave to arrange the necessary inter- national transactions means an increase oi dead weight in the side of the scale that tends to higher exchange rates. To illustrate the point, vte emphasise a fnw figures, some drawn from Sir Edward Holden's speech, some from spec cues by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and (yme from the Board of fiade returns, M:. MeKenna has tcld us that the cost 01 the war is already about £ 1,625,000,000. That renre.-futs the commitments that! the Government lias entered upon for the j year. To that must be added the balance to the bad ci' ??('JCC.MO on the import Rnd export account, for, no matter what casuistry is applied to the problem, the- fact remains that we are not a self-con- I taire's! nation to the extent of that sum on last year's figures. That, means a total of considerably over £ 2.(KM),OM.000 to toe bad for the one year just ended. I'o that mu.? be added the Ios of home produced wealth caused by the adverse rates ci cxeh^nge. That is to say, a man who h"ld a 'overe?gn in 1013 could buy goods in America to the value of a ?maU fraetiou below 5 dollars, but in 1015 could j buy only 4 A dollars worth. Tbe influence of such depreciation cannot be traced to '.ts ultimate stage. All sorts of losses | jollew upon it; but one thing certain is the higher the exchanges against trie £ r«g!i:h sicrling the higher he the cos I of everything necessary tn trade, industry and human existence in the British Isles Aof this part of the subject to which Sir Edward devoted lus at tention I is significant. British credit amongst our Allies is good. us hope that it rill remain so. not so much be se k) "he amount of business done as for its effect as a reminder to the people and Governments of those nations of tbcv extent to which England i6 bear- ing n., helping them i to bear theirs through the war. The significance of this phase is political, and can become commercial only when the authorities have to. settle terms in conntctiou with the huge loans and other financial commitments that we have undertaken on behalf of the Allies, But in neutral countries the exchange is against us, to varying degrees. Sir Edward i Iloldeu devotes considerable attention to j the point, and makes a really invaluable; comparison between the financial position of England with the outside nations and of Germain with the nations outside her ambit. His summary and analysis shows 11 thai England holds by far the better posi- tion. which is satisfactory. But. it does not. belp us when we come to consider the effect upon our domestic positiou. What-! ever may be said about the seriousness of Germany's financial position, we have to face the fact that our own might be belter—and ought to be better if the! necessary improvement can be achieved by any means. One of the best hits made by jihe present Bishop of St. David's kit a great London meeting of church work- I ers was, If you can do better in the future, it is evidence that you have done badly in the past. In any work, von must always do your best The prin- j cinle of the Lord Bishop's utterance ap-, plies to the financial position of the nation to-day. Within the limits of a speech to a meet- ing of bank shareholders, Sir Edward j U olden could not enter all the by-ways 01 his subject. He, very wisely and Vf"i,V &My. took a leading theme and followed ?t with infinite patience to its logical Conclusion. One line of thought that may be added here is of extreme importance, VI7. that in dealing with the trade of the country We are (to use a somewhat siangy phrase) "up against a very tall proposltlQn." The maintenance of a øound filancial position is necessary to the we are of ?? man, woman and C?Id in the 1?. There is, alas too n,?h d(,in(:v to r?ard finane as a mat- V.r ior Ih?dn?.dl?treet. and Down- ing-ci.reet. r unately( it is just as impo!-?< to the {'ildrl1 who play in th" st?t? o ??? '??? ? -?? the bv-Ianes the qtuee of Lr Undilo 4ud the bv-lanes oi the citv o? f Loa? do? n. r?h?t merchant in the city of Ivn o. Wh?rev?r a loaf of bread or a P°U of eUgar j, Mid, tbH(" the pinch a?d pressure ? adverse terhanges in New "Vore and Hong Kong, ou, a and Tokio are felt severely. And the accumulation of 6uen iterns is eUor- naous. To sum out a total of the value of one year's trade in the British Isles would be an almost imp03si™e task. The nearest idea we can get is from the ('.Ienrng R-ouse-retui-iLs, and these for last :.ar .were stupendous enough for any one raan to think over. They support Sir Edward Holden's contentions so much Wiafc we-make no apology for aildiJJg them to a comment on his admirable address. Bankers' clearings in the year just ended 84rgregated £ 13,407,725,00<V, or a de- crease of £ 1.257.323,000 as compared with 1911. A reduction following that shown in the previous year was inevitable, but the total exceeded the turnover for the years 1905 to 1908. The contraction, it is j note hie. was entirely in financial, as dis- tinguished from commercial, clearings, and was attributable to the absence of Stock Exchange settlements and new; isstitis of the ordinary type. It is also' of interest to nottee that the decrease was j wholly J.J1. town clearings, tMøe of the j

I BOOSES ON GOWER COAST
I BOOSES ON GOWER COAST Two bodies were picked uo on 'Saturday morning on the Gower coast, evidently the One was found on tho Oxwich beach, and was that of a man apparently 50 years of age and dressed as a seaman. The other, a younger man, was simi- larly attired. There is nothing about cither to assist identification. On Saturday afternoon another body was washed up at S?de. near Porteynon. This body was also evid?HHy that of a sea- man which had be?n in the water a Cl()U: sid?rah:? time, but there wcrf no means of identification. On SaturcVay afternoon inquests were, held at Oxwich and Pcnmaen on the bodies. Th?rc were no means of idf'ntifi-j cation, and 'enlids of Found Drowned'? w?rc returned. Within a wo?k four bod?s ha? been l di?covfr?d on th" Gower cca?t, and the IveLief prevails they may be four of the men who, lat Boxing Day. took to a boat I off Lundy after their steamer was sunk and had not been heard of since. A keen search is being made along the Gower coast by the residents, with the object of finding the body of Coxswain William Gibbs, who waf drowned from the Porteynon lifehoat some weeks ago, but so far no signs of it have been dis- covered. A cask containing 80 gallons of port wine has been picked up at Porteynon.

i SWANSEA SOLDIER'S DEATH
i SWANSEA SOLDIER'S DEATH Mr. A. W. Body, painter and decorator,, of 26, Trafalgar-terrace, Swansea, has now received unofficial news of the manner in which his son, Private A. C. Body, of tha Royal Irish Regiment, met his death or* Gallipoli. Corpora l E. E. Hughes, of Itilk, i or.n H' ersIl, who- lives at Miskin, Moun- tain Ash, ha-s written telling his wife of t16 iucident. and she haa; forwarded his letter L 9 the b ere a v e <1 t,?-:Its. Cpl. Hugh i?ays: On the 6th 0f ?his month the Tur" mme, trying an air raid on us. They dropped a bomb and killed one of our men, ?rious4- wounding SLQ other by having hi? leg off, and the third was wounded in the fack. but only very slightlv. I was with the men watching the machine above us, and it is very interesting watching our j guns tiying to bring them down. We were together in a group watching it, and I was never touched. I had one advan- tage perhaps more than the other men— I happened to see the b.b coming dow-t, j besides hearing its buzzlrfg noise, so 1 lay -at and shouted to the other men to do the same, but it was too late they wero hit. The chap that was killed was cut in half. He was iroin Swansea, only 23 years of P. Ho had given me his address the day hefore he was killed, to call and see him when the war is over should I I,E, spared to return home. He said he livec'. only ten miles from Llanelly. Perhaps you would like to write to his parents* to let them know how nicely he was hllri, and what a good soldier he was. We got on very well together. He had a military funeral, and was buried with full honour* of a brave hero." Private Body answered the call in the early days of August, 1911, prior to which, time lie was engaged in the business of I painter and decorator with his fathr. HH was a fine specimen of manhood, and was popular aud respected everywhere ho I went.

t mTTWTl—■ifimrnmrr i i»nTrnmarfnn— nn HI iib ii 1—Irr—ii^Pf iiiT metropolitan and country c.beques showing increases of £ t)8.^02,0f>0 I respectively. The provincial ciearings j show an expansion for the j year, a contraction in the first quarter being followed by rising gains in the re- maining three. In the penultimate quarter of the fiaan-i cial year the revenue of the United King- I dom increased as compared with that of the corresponding period hy £ 21,0ti7,0i)0. To this glill Customs contributed i'7,768,000, or more than one-third oi the total, the expansion being due to the' heavier duties un tea, sugar, and other dutiable imports. Excise contributed £ 5,814,000 extra and income tax £ i,150,0(Kr additional, while there were .increases ot over each in estate duties and postal receipts. The latter gain shows that the heavier charges recently im- posed are yielding good fruit. While revenue rose hy ef-7,751,000 for the nine months, public expenditure for the same period increased by so that of the additional outlays entailed by the war only a small fraction—about 6 per cent., as a rnatwr of "fact—was pro- vitied f jr out of income. i it is evident that this last-named condition cannot go on indefinitely. There must Ix; a time when money must be j I withheld from investments for cominer- i cial purposes and thrown into Govern- men! loans, so that tha necessity of re- striding expenditure to essentials is all j the more apparent. Jusc at present, when so many peopla arc goading the Government to take cx- t treme measures with rega rd to contra- band, it is of interest to summarise some of Sir Edward Holden's figures, UP shows that Holland's trade in goods sent, to Germany increased from 55«.540,000 kilo- grams in 1913 to hilograms in 1915. On the contrary, the amount of goods sent 1c Holland by Germany decreased from !2,8i2.>7s,000 kilograms in to 143,OOi) kilograms in ?013. J 'I' ,htli Il\ pt.jMoui, and only thot« l;e]ii;ui the scenes, who have to maintain silence in spito of temptations to explain and defend, can realise hov: diffieult it is ior the Government to enter upon a policy that might please uninformed extremists but anger people, who might lie of use to us in many other ways. As to Germany's financial position, it would be unwise foV auyone to go a step further than Sir Edward JFolden set forth. That if is serious and difficult, no one can doubt. But we must; remember that in the eourso of time the difficulty may be remedied. What we in England have to do is to J)R in the best peMib!p posit ion when t))e first settling day arrives. The speech under notice end, with a summary of the business done last year hy the London City and Midland Bank to which it is only necessary to add that tho bank's report shows a great and satisfactory achievement.
