THE POOR.

extreme HONGKONG, #3rd FEBRUARY 1980.
OFFICIAL QUOTATIONA,
M. Dauzat finds that
poverty (10 misere has disappeared With us, unfortunate- from France. ly, there is a great deal of real dis- tress, amounting, almost to starvation. among the middle class, who are ground herween the upper and nether! millstones of the profiteers and the trade unions. This class, believing. that its sufferiors are incurred for the good of the country, has borne them. with exemplary patience and self- sacrifice; but distress is extreme.
**Large numbers of the parochiali clergy are almost in rags, and have not enough to war. Refined gentle- men and ladies are reduced to accept- ing presents of Cast-of clothing and old toets. The richer professionali men, though they have enough left to keep the wolf from: the door, have lost about Steen shillings in the pound of | their incomes before the war. Afty! per cent. being taken from them by taxation and fifty per cent. of the re-i mainder by increase in the cost of living. This enormous transference? of wealth, caused chiefly by the threats of organised Labour, which. while the country was fighting for its life, it was impossible to resist, con- dietes a social revolution such as this country has never seen before.
THE RICH.
**Our Government had no policy! except to buy # revolution by gigan- į tic bribes to the mantal labourers. These Joles, needless to say, have only whetted the appetite of those who receive them. They are acceptedi without gratitude and squandered ; without consideration, Very little, comparatively, has been saved by the working-clars and invested in the war leans. A manufacturer of munitions who paid £15.000 a week in wages told me that the average weekly sav-| ings of his men amounted to only £250.
The favourite objects of expen-.. diture are costly foods and drinks. in- cluding such luxuries as pine-apples. | which have disappeared from the tables of the upper class; pianos which, though they are seldom open-i ed, are regarded as a cachet of pro- Hats sperity; and fine clothes. priced at eighteen and a half guineas are now being bought at Cardiff by the wives of the miners who are hold- ing up the nation's coal supply. have all seen the munition giri. sweating under a thirty-guinea Fur! coat on a summer afternoon, with her feet tortured, like those of a Chinese woman. in pointed shoes with heels three inches high. Il faut souffrir pour etre belle but unfortunately the results, in this case, are not worth the sacrifice."-DEAN INGE, in the Anglo-French Review,
