C 0 G E NEEDED. 1fl 1£1 N" Ii L oya George on National Expenditure. F) 8' "Ie. I F ace Res&oasibiiities" 1; & A stirring speech was made by the j Primo Minister in the House of Com- ]' Jnons yesterday when the debate was re- turned on the Government rcsolut 101, moved the previous day, "That this ifouse, realising the serious effect.s upon] the trade and industry of tbe nation of the enormous financial burdens resulting from the war, promises its hearty support to the Government in all reasonable pro- posals, however drastic, for the reduction of. "expenditure and the diminution of debt." Mr. Clynes (Lab., Platting) declares that th-e present national expendithre on war services is unjustifiable in view of the period which has elapsed since the signing of the armistice, and is of opinioll that steps should be taken at once to effect MORE DRASTIC ECONOMIES: .further, measures should be adopted to meet the present financial burdens and assist in liquidating the National Debt, f such measures to include the imposition ot a levy on capital and the reversion to the State of fortunes made as a result of the national emergency. The Labour Party cunsidered the finan- ced situation so extraordinary as to ciill f,ir extraordinary methods. Drastic pu t ion was required. (Hear, hear.) He ,11arl never regarded the policy nf subsi with favour He vrarneci the Govern- ment as to the consequences of any 'm- jnodiale cessation of the unemployment benefit "without some effective alternative in the shape or work He sugjoiteel an enquiry ;nto the capital levy, a levy on war profits, and the question of produc- tion. There AMS no argument against: the capital levy that had not been used against any form of taxation ever pro- posed. Th's «• >.s a time for t hose pos- sessed of wealth to come forward and cave *hc nation financially. (Cheers.) NOT BOLSHEVIK PROPOSAL.

It would be madness, however, to r?;u?c to enquire into 'h? question of a I capital levy, as well as the taxation of war fortunes. The proposal was put for- v. ard. no* by Bolshevist." or but by sober economic thinkers. Uoveriuuont department-, should be I allowed to spend up to a certain amount, and no moie. That was the best way to tiicourage fconoiiiy Mr. Bottomley (Ind., Hackney, S.) urged the adoption of a system of prize bunds, hy winch, be said, a ihi.¡u<;anù million.. ¡ to; Id be wiped off the debt. THE PREMIERS REPLY. I I.- I the i rune Minister, WHO was teceiveu i with cheers, in reply, said that he had in- vited discussion in that House because he I icw they bad an excellent case. He thought the discussion had been fully jus- tified, for never had there been a widely 'advertised case which had so completely 'cullop?d. The kind d epileptic scream I they heard dmnød ijito their J "i,i?l n? xeail.v and an echo in thø Housb of Com- mon?. But let them assume the wastrels had been thrown out and tl""C w.m another Ccahtion in power pledged t? ?'et.r?nch- ment. HOW? 1 I Tlioy would all agree they »mw»t have I rt-trt,nchni,iit-but how One section said the unemployment dole would hkvq to dis- appear. but the Labour party resisted that violently. As soon as it was suggested the bread subsidy should disappear there was opposition, and it was suggested wages Btiomd he increased by a shilling weekly. One section of the opposition said they should abandon housing s"hcm«s, but another section said they must build. So v flier ewas not very much agreement abotf reduction. When they came to education ?ome (Tjts said let u? ??ii??rend exndi'l ture on education, but that also wag ob- jected to. There was no agreement upon any su??cstion which had been made in course of the debate amongst those who vveie in favour of economy. ? The Government had taken steps to abolish the railway subsidy. Expenditure on the Army and Navv was being reduced. "flit, Russian expedition had been wound iip.Was that nothing? At the time of the truce the Army. Navy, and Air Force I numbered 4,400,000. Twelve months later there would lie 720,000. At the end of I March next the numbers would be under l 300,000. Next year there would lie a sub- stantial realisation of assets, which he hoped would go to the, reduction lof debt. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had prepared a scheme for the liquidation of the war debt IN FIFTY YEARS. I Was that nothing: It was testimony to I British courage and foresight. (Bear, hear). The first fact everybody had to I gi t into his mind was that there had been the.costliest war that the world had ever I seen. It was inevitable there should be an enormous debt. The eight thousand millions we had risked to save our lives, every )?nny of it was well spent. On I that d??t they must pay interest. There were certain special and exceptional (haryes whieb had fallen on this year'l because the first year after the cessation of hostilities was an abnormal year. DemobiHsation took time. August was ) the first time they were assured by those j in command of the Army that .t was j safe to begin to retrench. I NO DORROWING NEXT YEAR. I Next year there would be no borrow- ing, and tuere would be a balance on the right side. He did not think the use of paper money was responsible for high prices, and the pcsition here was better than in other countries. Was it a crime to take a hopeful view of the prospects of their own country? Why should patriotism and pessimism be identified." It be a crime to deceive or distort, to conceal, to suppress, or to colour in ord er to destroy the credit of their j native land. (Cheers). The nation's industry, trade, and commerce depended on its good crodit. They had to create confidence that Britain could weather ttip storm. Don't let them sav that the ship was rocking and w'nkincr. That was why he was glad the Chancellor j of the Exchequer's speech gave them new I hope and confidence, lor economy, as ?, t-ifcty, the price was eternal v i?,. w,L, l l d, hmce. and he iuvi?d the House to wa?h. (Applause). But don't let them mistake I economy for refusal to spend money on j objects esapntial h; national liftl j BLIND FEAR. reai- had no no cliscriniiiiafion. It was blind, and struck without concern for what it wss hitting down. Doo't let iierii cut down education or hou-sing. .i,h,L,y siioulcl ao all they could for the Health and education of the people. In- ireasecl production was the :alk, the truest of all economies. Tho heaviest tax cin the nation was the depreciation of the I sovereign, and the only way ço remedy was by increasing production. Don't lot I i hem make the mistake in the hour of i .'rror at the magnitude of their respon- sibilities lOf. saying tl)ey would spend no j more. Ho appealed to them to face their responsibilities, to pay their liabilities, to discharge their debts, and, above all, to discharge their debts to those who were prepared to sacrifice for the country i they loved. I MR. BONAR LAW. Mr. Bonar Law The Chancellor in his Budget had a smaller percentage of errors th-n any other Chancellor since the war. All the clatter outside was due to forget- fulness "f the fact that there had been war and to an assumption that in this year of peace we should meet all expendi- ture out of revenue. Never in the history of the country had there been such great efforts made by the Government to cut down expenditure. The matter of a capital levy was one which he approached with some delicacy. It gave him great trouble while he was Chancellor. If the war had continued it was an expedient he might have beer. bound to contemplate, but it it was pos- sible to get over our difficulties by the old methods without adopting it he would in- finitely prefer it. What was ly re im- portant than to pay off a thousand mil- lions of debt was to restore confidence, so that no one should feel their capital was unsafe. The House divided. Mr. Clynes's amend- ment was defeated by 50a to -ri0. The figures were received with loud checrs and laughter. The Government resolution was agreed to without a division.
MISSION TO SEAMEN.I
MISSION TO SEAMEN. To Erect New Institute in Swansea. The Missions to Seamen are endeavour- ing very shortly to erect a new institute at Swansea. The annual meeting of the Lad) ps* Guild of the Swansea Briiiiuli Wti,' held at the Institute, New Cut Bridge, Swansea, on Thursday. Mrs. Arthur Eden presided, supported by the hun. secretary and treasurer, Mrs. W. J. Bees, and amongst those present were the Vicar of Swansea (the Rev. Harrington Lees) and the Vicar of Sketty itiie Rev. J. H. Stowart). The Chairman said they regretted very much the loss of Lady Lyons as their president, and on the motion of Mrs. Nelson Jones, seconded by Mrs. Charles Eden, Miss Dillwyn Llewelyn was elected president: tor the ensuing year. TWO ladies. Hon. Mrs. Daniels and Xircl. Edwards Mills, were elected vicc-pre&i- (¡ets in addition to those already elected, and it was decided to invite Mrs. Algernon Lyons to become a vice-president. Mrs. Livingstone and Mrs. Richard Lewis were lectftd on the coram it lee. and Mrs. W. J. Rces was re-elected hon. secretary and treasurer, with the heartiest thanks of the meeting for her excellent work. In the course of her address from the chair, Mrs. Eden caused laughter hy re- counting how one man left S20 in the charge of the chaplain while ho was at soa, as lie was going to h" married, and he was afraid he would k? it, and thereby have to postpone the happy day. He returned from sea, and, in his own words, safely got the money to Cardiff and got tied up." The Rev. — Nash, of Poplar, gave a humorpu* address on his experiences with the eailors interned during the "ar itl Holland. The Rev. J. A. Bishop, of St. Nicholas Sailors' Church, said he had every hope of crecting in a very short, time a fine new institution to meet the ever increasing need. Tea was afterwards provided by the Ladies' Committee. -4 j

On alighting on the Cambrian Railway- platform Mr. Asquitli was presented by Alderman Howell to several prominent Lib-orals. S00.11 after a large body of col- j lege students rushed the platform, and, shouMering Mr. Asquith, carried him with eolat to Lis motor-car. The youth of the University had Mr. Asquith to itself for the evening at the Parish ILill, where, as the guest of the University, he addressed a thousand of the etudents, for whom no accommoda- tion could be found at to-day'i gather- ing. A boisterous company amused itself during the waitiing by singing" Here's to Good Old Deer" and other comic songs, j and a bloater suspended gracefully from the chairman's table throughout the evening. In the volume of cheering which greeted Mr. Asquith there was a suggestion of booing, while more voices delicately re- called the shell controversy with the query,' Where did that one go to j Herbertr" Professor Marshall presided, and was supported on the platiorn, by the collego j teaching staff. Lady Bon ham-Carter was presented with a bouquet of .flowers on behalf of t>he lady students. Alderman J. M. Hov.^il and Mr. Vivian Phillips occupied seats on the platform. Professor Marshall gave a brief address and alluded to the last visit of Mr. Asquith to the college some years ago, í when he urged upon them the need of .securing for the college the great pos- I nihilities that a aitcd Tt in the future. me cnairman nonea that a uerysiwytn j College would be able to show to Mr i Asq-uith that f."itv had made some pro greaj in that direction. (Cheers.) TRIBUTE TO TOM ELLIS. Mr.As?uith, who was received with? musimi h-n urrs, opened his speech with i a reference to the late Tom Ellis, M.P.. whose son had just sung a solo. Of thr deceased patriot, Mr Asquith said he was> • cor years a most valued and treasured associate in politics and in every otllpr svalk of liie. (Applause) Mr. Tom Ellis was a typical Welsh man. He sprang from the soil. He had | no advantages of birth or of station; hut by sheer force not only of brilliant in j telligence, but. what was more important the gracof character and strength of personality, he was, when lie died, not only on the threshold, hut inside the door of the highest political office." (Hear, hear ). There was no man whom he had known whom he would more gladly or more sin corely commend as an example to tile young men of Wales than Tom Ellis (Applause). Continuing, Mr. Asquith referred to tne establishment nt the college of \0 chans, to the operation of which h f-, looked forward with the greatest in- tarest-the chairs of Colonial History j find of International Politics. He con- gratulated Aberystwyth, the University, the Principality, and the United King- dom on having secured for the incum- bency of that chair one of the most, dis- tinguished scholars in Europe, Professor Zimmerman. WALES TO THE FOREFRONT. Wales, continued Mr. Asquith, had been conscious, almost in his lifetime, of its own separate and individual nation- ality. (Cheers.) It was in the forefront of that great movement which, as t.f'Y had been before, and still nioi., as the result of, the war, was going to re-create the map of Europe and of the world. lhat was all to the good but, all ini- portant as it was to keep alive and to nourish the flame of national indepen- j dence and identity, it was no less im- portant in the world of intellect, of nil- ture, of science, to remember that there were no geographical boundaries hat. ever—science, literature, hilosophy. learning, art, Were a world-wide posses- sion, and anybody who sought to estab- lish lines of demarcation within that great and all-embracing world was doing the greatest dis-service to the buipan mind and the human race, Learning, culture, fc-cience, were all the stream ) which ought to flow unimpeded into the common reservoir. LESSON FROM UNIVERSITY. I The host lesson you cap take from ] your college or university life here," con | tinned Mr. Asquith, is to remember tlu.t every student in every field, be it literary, be it scientific, be it artistic, whatever it may be, is a private in the great army which knows no distinction of raco 0V country, and which is marching forward to enlarge the domain of intellectual free- dom for the world as a whole. (Cheers., That does not involve any abnegation or disloyalty to national and ioeal patriotism But the more one sees after, as I have had, a long experience of public life, the more one sees the conditions that we have to envisage in the development of man- kind—the more one realises that, as in th" international sphere, the League ot Nations is going to supersede all the petty and particular ambitions of the past as between different countries, so in the world of knowledge there must be some- thing which corresponds to the League of Nation.s-aRaint. corporate, harmonious, fellowship of combined research and eon- tributative knowledge which will build up for the future an even larger and more magnificent structure than has ever beer, obtained by those who have gone before us. Keplying to a vote of thanks, illi- Asquith referred to the magnificent edu- cational work being done at tho college, and spoke of his interest in its carper which he had fallowed almost from its beginii ing.

I I I — HEART OF THE CAR." I UnusuaJ Booklet on Motor Engines! We have recMved a copy of an interh-' ting booklet issued br Mosers. W. H. Dorman and Co., Stafford, entitled "The Heart of the Car is the Engine. In sub- mitting the booklet the firm emphasise; that probably tbis is the first lime in the history of automobilism that a firm has had sufficient courage and confidence in its own product to permit an independent- writer to produce such a publication this, expressing in his own way and manner his opinions thereon." I The writer is Mr. M. W. Bourdon, late joint editor of The Autocar," and he gives detailed descriptions of all the Dor. man. engines, and takes throughout the standpoint of the prospective purchaser, The booklet is certainly exhaustively I written, and itt; novel feature is found in the fact that Mr. Bourdon does not hesitate to criticise what he thinks calls for criticism; but he pays tribute to the undoubted worn. of the firm's produc- tions. and backs his praise with the prac- tical knowtedge of his subject.

A small amount of bar gold was taken in the open market for India and the Continent. OUR SILVER COINAGE. Moeitta's circular referring to the effect I of the "price of silver on the coinage, says: .1 .;k, it is some months since the Boyal Mint purchased silver for coinage, owing to the ample supply of coin now in the country, this fact will not materially affect the position, and the continuanco of these high prices depends entirely on Lill, China buying, which is the key to the whole situation. In the meantime, 'owing to the depletion of the supplies in London and the possible difficulty of shipping from New York owing to labour troubles, the market is very sensitive, and even comparatively small transactions have an immediate influence on the market Lather violent fluctuations consequently may be seen either way, though so long a:; China exchange remains at anything like its present very high level there ,5 not. likely to be much setback in the price of silver.

:DiAi NFRONTIER':SI-AT,ION. With reference to the threat of The I Governihent 'of India to oonsiqÙ the adojv tion of punitive rneasures against the Waziris and Mahsuds on the north-vrest frontier, the Press, Association lea-rns that the folloTrinp is the reason why such measures will he undertaken, provided the tribes do not answer the summons t:1 s?nd representatives to Simla. The Afghans, as far as can he seen, are observing the terms of peace quite cor- ietfly, and have been withdrawing their iegular forces from the, frontier to their regular ywaet, stations in ther own coun- try. Between the Indian and Afghan frontier lies the tribal region which, al- though under no definite rule, has in times of peace been occupied by military posts garrisoned bv tribal levies under the Indian Government. The northern part I of this territory is quiet, hit lc"r-(r down ',P. I ur i n?-, 'the w h ?)'? j there, has been trouble during the whole period of tj«e Afghan disturbances. There j was an attack on Thai, on the Kurram River, as the result of which we had to v; rflidraiv our posts in the Qpper Tochi I Valley. That again necessitated with- drawing the military, posts from Southern Wazirstan, and as a consequence the Ifalisads and the Waziris have been left alone, and are consequently giving much trouble. It is this area wfifieh the Government of 1 ndia now proposes to deal with.
