WHAT 1922 MAY BRING.
SIGNS OF RETURNING PROSPERITY,
The most heartening New Year message in the home papers was that of Mr. Felix J. Blakemore, the President of the Na tional Chamber of Trade, who wrote:-
To the people of England. I send this as a message of goodwill-the New Year 1999 will see the advent of a prosperity it has not probably hitherto axperienced.
Mr. Blakemore's prophecies for the coming year include; ---
A landslide in the cost of living. A, sixpenny 4b, loaf."
Signa and portents are not lacking that 1999 is going to carry on the good work of 1021 in the slaying of the cost of living dragon which has shadowed so many homes for so long..
First comes the suggested reduction in the income tax, nex; Áprily being given as a tentative data for the now scale.
Ordinary railway pasanger fares, will probably join the downward rush early In the New Year, and the problem of their readjustment is now being inquired into.
HOUSES CHEAPER.
The price of houses has already fallen in many districts, a figure as low as £096 being quoted recently for building houses at the Old Oak Estate, Hammersmith. The 1980 price for the same thing was £988; there is every hops in the coming year of the £600' house!
Furniture, already much reduced, is still falling in price, as a result" of the 140 per cedi. to 50 per cont. drop in the
pries of timber.
The coming year will be a furnishing | + year for many who have denied themselves everything but the bare essentials ever since the war.
A reduction of 20 per cent, to 30 per cent. in the price of linoleuma is definitely promised for early in the year, and its imminence is foreshadowed by linoleum sales in many shops..
Bus and tube fares will in all prob- ability follow the trams, on which there has been a real reduction already.
The price of bread-an important item, in BO many homes has already fallen, in spite of the withdrawal of the subsidy, to Sd, while the ̧sd. loaf is a distinct possi- bility in 192
COAL AT 49/-.
The fall in the price of coal, though not jet appreciable, has begun.
It is now possible to buy good house coal for 488, per ton, and though this com. pares very badly with the 1. of pre-war days, there is every prospect" of "further roductions.
The effects of the recent reductions of] * the railway goods rates have
not yet! begun to be felt.
The reductions will affect the whole of industry, especially the steel smelting districts, and the consequent economies will be reflected throughout the whole of the manufactiring centres of Great Bri- tain.
The cost of living is bound to fall. It would seem as though the corner had been turned.
This time last year it stood at 160 per cent, above pre-war. Now it stands at 69 per cent., & reduction of 70 points!"
NOT ALL SUNSHINE ›
The picture of 1992 is not all sunshine, however, Rents are still grievously up, and so are rates, and there seems little prospect of either being reduced.
School fees are also still much above pre-war figures, and can only apparently be reduced at the cost of efficiency. As Lord Burnham pointed out in the Daily News a few days ago, economy at the expense of education, is not economy at all, but waste in its worst form.
Most important of all as a corrective to over-optimism, there is the great pro blem of the unemployed.
The first effect of reviving industry will probably be to re-absorb large nurabers of these at present without work, and the reality of our future prosperity de peads largely on the extent to which this is done.
Mr. W L Hichens, the chairman of Cammell's and one of Mr. Lloyd George's committee of business exports, thinks that the prevalent optimism is justified.
Lastly, there is the evidence of our export trade; although still sadly behind previous years both in value and quantity, the figures do show a marked improve ment over the last six months,, T
The total exports in June 1921 fell to £45,225,002. In November they had risen to £72,718,041, др increase of over £27,000,000!
Thus, with falling prices, revived trade, increase of exports, and cheaper living there is every chance that 1997 will really be happy New Year"-the happiest, for the man in the street since 1913- Daily News.
