BRITAIN'S FINANCIAL STRENGTHI
BRITAIN'S FINANCIAL STRENGTH I No part of Mr Bonar Law's statement in regard to the great War Loan was at onoe more interceting and eloquent of the national resources than the revelation" of what passed between the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the financial magnates when t,ie Loan was first brought on the tapis. "How much do you want?" was the question which was bound to crop up, and the Chancellor had his figures ready. Like a canny Scot, he asked for more than he expected to get, but really not more than he hoped for. The figure mentioned was six hundred millions Beyond that, nis optimism did not venture to soar. Well, we don't know how far the reality will exceed Mr Bonar Law's wildest hopes; we shall not know with certainty for several days yet; because the applications poured in in overwhelming volumes up to tlioe-Iast moment, and still they come. But the six hundred millions have been exceeded; seven hundred millions are well 'n sight; and it would almost look as if the total will be higher even than that, only the Chan- cellor will not allow his anticipations any such expresdol1 as may, in tfie event, lead to dis- appointment. It is the very refinement of our unparalleled success and achieved, be it re- membered, without touching the large reserves wtuch are t,he final resort of the Treasury. There are many obvious reflections on this manifestation of Britain's financial strength, but the best of all is the demeanour of men who are "in the know." Not cince the out- break of war has greater optimism prevailed in tho circles where big money talks; and com- parative case with which this operation has been carried through disposes, so they say, of any need for further talk of a forced loan. Wihen the time comes for another Government appeal for money to prosecute the war, the country will again respond; for there s now no fear in any quarter that the large subscription to the present loan has in any way embarassed the business community. There is a great deal being said abo,i;t Mr Bonar Law's firmness in resisting suggestions to offer more remunerative terms as an inducement to subscribers. It is said that this has been the means of saving- mil- lions to the taxpayer. In due time we sha 1 probably know the whole facts which will re- flect credit on ilie Chancellor's practical vin- dication of British credit.
AFTER MONEY-MEN. I
AFTER MONEY-MEN. I There is no danger that the Government will fail to appreiate that part of the significance of the Lean that touches the readiness of the British people to take their part in prosecut- ing the war. It was one of the fatal weak- nesses of the Coalition that it never tackled big undertakings until it was driven to them oy the force of public opinion. It seemed either to distrust the capacity of the nation to rise to a great occasion or it.3 courage to face the demands of a g-reat sacrifice. We expect bet- ter things from the new National Government which enjoys tihe people's confidence chief of all because it is be-ieved that it will not hesi- tate to take the nation entirely into its con- fidence. Of course, we know, in a general way what is expected of us in the present state of the war. It is understood tÙat the army :s still crying out for men and that the most drastic steps will have to be tab:>u to comb out certain trades and withdraw badges and ex- emptions from all kinds cf people. Alien the array has got a'l the eligibles procurable, it may well be that the Government will Lave to extend the military age and that hundreds of thousands of" men still in business will have to join up. The withdrawal of men not mere- ly from their own private affairs, but even from essential Government work compels the- attention of the authorities to the recruitment cf men and women for the purpose of filling the gaps. TViere are not, in fact, enough men and women for essential work, so that it be- comes every individual's duty to enquire what services he or she can do for the country. It is Mr Neville Chamberlain's particular pro- vince to bring the whole manhood and won-ian, hood of the nation to national service, but it is every patriot's duty to come forward to vol un- teer service, The appeal is now being made for volunteers, and in no better way can we back up the Loan than by offering ourselves to the country. It will be corroborative evidence .f our determination to carry our cause to vic- tory. Moreover, there is the ofiliet duty in- cumbent upon us to practise tie most rigid economy in food and more particularly in those commodities of meat, bread, and sugar -which have been the subject of the Food Controller's appeal to Vic honour of the nation, It is under- stood that the Government may go the full length of placing an embargo on the importa- tion of all articles of luxury from abroad so j, that the available tonnage may be entirely at the disposal of the country for essential ser- vices in peace and war.. It will be our duty not merely to bear uncomplainingly but even to encourage and support the Government in going to the utmost length, in compelling per- sonal service and personal sacrifice in order that our safety and future prosperity may be placed above jeopardy. There is, humanly speaking, no doubt about our ability to destroy the German menace for all time; but the task will demand all our resources, all our service, and the utmost sacrifice.
NOTES OF THE WEEK. I
NOTES OF THE WEEK. I Mr Bonar Law succeeded on Tuesday (says The Times) in disposing handsomely not only of the HOUSE* of Commons pacifists, but also of the rather petty criticism which has fastened on Sir Douglas Haig's talk with the French journalists. It was not an "interview" in the sense in which public men are sometimes accus- tomed to give interviews"—that is to say, the actual word3 of it were neither written down, nor revised for publication, by Sir Douglas Haig himself. So much, indeed, was always obvious from the fact that a variety of versions appeared. The version which was printed in these columns —that of the Havas Agency-ooritained., as it hapjpens,' not one of the-sentences which have since been palled in question, and we now learn that Sir Douglas Haig's imprimatur was lacking in every version through the omission of a sub- ordinate. But the genera-I effect of them all waa to reoond quite faithfully the Field-Marsha J's well-known confidence in the capac-ity of his tioops. It was not only legitimate, but wise, that he should express this confidence frankly in conversation wi th his eminent visitors, and the House of Commons cordially applauded its Leader's view that further discussion of the matter was merely mischievous. An important announcement has been made in a written answer by Mr George Roberts on be- half of the Board of Trade to a question by Sir Thomas Esmonde. It affects not only Ireland but the rest of the United Kingdom. Mr Roberts says that arrangements have been made under which licences authorising the full amount of petrol required for tractors and motor vehicles used for agricultural purposes will be issued by the Petrol Cortihiittee, provided such applica- tions are supported by the War Agricultural Com- mittee concerned or the Department, of Agricul- ture. In this week's Goleuad the Rev. Evan Price, of ELbw Vale, tells a pleasant story of the late Lord Salisbury and the late Rev. John Davies, moderator of the Geitei-al Assembly. A new vicar came to Mr Davies' neighbourhood, and as the latter was a great Liberationist they were not at first on very friendly terms. A bit later, party passion having cooled down, the pair happened to meet, and the clergyman complained to Mr Davies of the trouble he had in getting funds for the repair of the church. "Do you know, Vicar, that Allt-yr-Ynys, in your parish, is the cradle of the great Cecil family?" No, I did not," was the reply. It is quite true. Why not try Lord Salisbury for a subscription?" The Vicar took the hint, looked up the historical facts, and approached the great statesman, who in a letter acknowledged the family connection and enclosed a handsome cheque. Needless to say, the Vicar and his Nonconformist neighbour were bosom friends ever afterwards. Meatless days have been instituted at the Con- stitutional Club, Arthur's, the Marlborough, the Turf, St. James's, the Guards', and the Tra- vellers'. The Constitutional Club has decided on one meatless day, Friday, on which meat will not be served in the club at all, and Arthur's Club has gone further and arranged for two meatless days a week. The Constitutional has also decided to put a limit on the amount of bread allowed to members lunching or dining. The example is a good one, and probably most of the clube will follow It it easy for a club to make a restriction of this kind, because it has its regular lunch era and diners, who come not because it is a restaurant, but because it is the club, and for the most part would come any- how whatever fare the club set out. Twelve months ago yesterday War Savings Certificates were first sold to the public, the actual number sold on that day being 2204. By June the average daily issue had reached 126,196; the total issue for the month was 3,281,105; and the aggregate issue to the month's close 7,000,000. In July "War Savings Week" was observed. In that week of special effort 2,926,035 Certific- cates were sold, while ill the following week the number rose to 3,039,363. Since then it may be said that the number of Certificates taken up in normal weeks has averaged one and a half million. During the War Loan campaign, how- ever, the sale has greatly increased, and during the week ending February 19th no fewer than 4,028,087 were bought, bringing the aggregate to 66,638,275. The figures for the final War Loan week, which are not available, will greatly in- crease the aggregate. In view of an impression, current in some quarters, that the issue of War Savings Certificates terminated with the closing of the loan lists, it should be emphatically stated that they are, and will be, procurable as hereto- fore. There is a possibility- (saye the London cor- respondent of the Daily Post) that among the restrictions shortly to be announced will be. a-: prohibition of hoardings advertisements in order to save paper. We shall have to submit as cheerfully as may be to this foim of economy, but London particularly will be perceptibly duller. Tils hoarding has been revolutionised by art, and it now gives us a series of pictures, many charming, some dull, and very few blatant. The quantity of paper used for this purpose is large, and serious objection cannot be taken to such a restriction, but the hoardings with weather- worn, antiquated posters flapping in the wind will be a* dismal sight. It is to be presumed that the ban, if imposed, will extend to the placards of Government Departments, and what will then become of the exhortations to economy which the War Savings Committee issued in letters the length' of a man, and of appeals of the National Service directorate? I11 almost all districts where the local authori- ties have taken steps to provide small allotments there has been a good demand for plots of land for the cultivation of potatoes and other vege- tables. It is a very gratifying indication that the public are realising, the importance of in- creasing ou.r food production in every possible way. On a larger scale farmers are also plough- ing up more land. The Secretary of the Car- narvonshire War Agriculttiial Committee, speak- ing at Pwllheli tire week, intimated that there were prospects of about six thousand acres more being cultivated this year in the county. It appears that 10,000 acres lees land is now cul- tivated in Carnarvonshire than was the case forty- three years ago. The magistrates at Llangefni and Penrhyn- deudiraeth were called upon this week to deal with serious breaches of the Defence of the Realm Act, the defendants being charged with setting fire to gars". Surely it has by this time been sufficiently dinned into the earn of the public that the. lighting regulations are enforced for the general safety of the community. Yet the cases we refer to show that there are still some persons who are apparently oblivious 13 the necessity for the fullest- precautionary measures in war time. Evidently sharp penah ties must be imposed in order to make such people sensible of the fact that. they must not jeopardise the lives of others even if they are unmindful of their own. In offences of this nature it is sometimes offered as a palliation that the military regulations are published in English, and consequently incom- prehensible to Welsh people. Ignorance of the law, we know, is no excuse; and on the other hand1—apart from sentiment-there is hardly any excuse nowadays for ignorance of the English language, when we think of the large sums of money spent upon education and the numerous to t, ?-nie that cou?iity complaints heard from time to time that county authorities are incurring unnecessary expendi- ture on "palatial school buildings." But assum- ing that a good many people in rural districts are monoglot AYelshmen, there are in every com- munity some who understand English, and there- fore it is natural to assume that the purport of the military regulations becomes known in general conversation, and that should suffice to put the ignorant upon their guard. Indeed not very long ago a prominent official made the remark that when notices were issued in English some people pleaded that they could not under- stand them, but w hen notice^ wea-e issued in Welsh the excuse often waa that they had not seen them. < Mr Lloyd George on one occasion (says the National News) declared that there was on", part of the House of Col-nniom which he re- garded as %F and away the most important place in the House. The Press took no notice of it because it was not admitted, but it was a place where members of all sections and parties are accustomed to meet in the most absolute comradeship Any stranger who was allowed to enter its precincts, and who did not happen to know the personalities therein, could not guess their political predilections, for, continued Mr Lloyd George, in that sac- red enclosure Members are wont to criticise their own parties and leaders in the freest manner. That enclosure, he added, after thus whetting the curiosity of his audience, is Members' Smoking- Room. < Let it be said that in those far-off days. t)e fore he had become saddled with the heavy responsibilities of office, there was no more faithful habitue of this Smoking Room than he. He was always to be found there in the interval between lunah time and the medinz of the House, and if during the sitting of the House, when the bores droned and there waa nothing doingf, his corner seat would be found vacant, and he would invariably be found 10. the Smoking Room, the, centre of a little coterie in comfortable brown-leathered chairs, ready alike for the pleasantries of badinage or for the more serious consideration of the, 1 a test turn in the political situation. t" < Even during the past eleven cars of (fficial life and heavy administrative responsibilities -he has found manifest delight in slipping away from the seclusion of his own private room for the free and cas,- room for the free and easy atmosphere of the familiar haunts of the Smoking Room. Soine of my associates in the Smoke Room will re- call the frequency of his visits in those anxious times in the Session of 1909, when the fate of his great Budget hung in the balance. Would the Lords dare to reiect it? That was the all-absorbing question in those times, and the uiter uncertainty of the developments of the situation was reflected in the haraasinsr conflict of views and of predictions as pre- sented in the newspapers day after dav. It was some months afterwards when Mr Lloyd Georgo revealed the secret of his fre- quent visits to the Smoking Room in those eventful and critical days. At that .time the attendant in charge of the Members' Smoking Room was a genial soul of the name of Collins. Everybody liked him. He said little, but he was very quick of hearing. It was to him that Mr Lloyd George turned for information. For some days he had only one reply to give; "It is too soon yet, sir, to say what will happen. But one day he confided to Mr Lloyd George the news that it had been decided that the Lords should throw cut the Budget. The Chancellor of the Exchequer—as he then was —required no further intimation. He kneTV that Collins' tip was "a tip from the stables,' and he prepared accordingly.
