(Cheers) He declared that necessity for further recruiting to maintain the British front mi that waste to day by individuals or classes was cotblog short of a national Framsimán strength danger. Ha polated on the impossibility of selling investmrats or property, or of harrowing abroad, to mest the anprecedented draft on our retourues," Consequently the only course for Britons was to diminish their expenditure. and increase their savings. It was not merely a question of self-preservation, but a question aven, beyond the confines of our world spread empire" namely, one of the whole fatura of HumanityWar Right or Force to dominata mankind. We should fight to the end-(chears)—to the last farthing in. money, the last ounce of strengths and the lab drop of blood. (Great chearing.)
Mr. Bonar Law, who had a magnificent reception, emphasised that every shilling saved and lent to the country was a national asset.

The salient point of Mr. Asquith's Guildhall speech was that the expendi ture for the year would approach a thousand million, Britain's normal ännual Having was 300 to 400 millions. How could "this unprecedented drain be met? The answer was national economy. The conditions of the balance of trade also afforded ground not for anxiety but, for serious thought. Ia the first five months of the year our importe increased by 334 millions and the exports decreased 733 millions. That meant that for the twelve months our indebtedness to other countries would amonat to 260 milions. This could be counteracted, however, by reducing all precessary personal expenditure on imparsed articles like ten, sagar, wine, patrol, also on goods manufactured is Britain which could be exported..
