In a normal year the totul income of the country is £2,400,000,000, so looked at from that point of view, practically 90 per cent of the income will be needed for war purposes. Owing to the profits in many trades having enormously increased, however, the envinga of the nation singe the war began have practically doubled, and now amount to about £800,000,000. In other words, £2,000,000 a day, out of the £5,000,000 re- quired, can be found for the war out of savings. Another million a day can bo realised either by direct loan from foreign countries or by the sale of foreign securi- ties held in Great Britain. A further million a day has already been raised by taxation. The question now remaining is how to and the balance of a million a day.
