EMPIRE DAY..
London, May 23.
Empire Day celebrations were held yesterday in many parts of the country. The chief London function was a gathering of a thousand school children at the Guild Hall, where they were addressed by the Lord Mayor and the President of the Board of Education. The celebrations are being continued over the week-end, culminating on Sunday in a thanksgiving service at Wembley Stadium, at which their Majesties the King and Queen will be present.
The Rt. Hon. L. C. M. S.

FRENCH FINANCES.
Paris, May 23.
As regarde M. Caillaux's new fuaneial schemes, the newspapers. state that the farther revenues required will be obtained by an increase. of postal and telegraphic charges on increase of tobacco revenue, the establishment of an apprenticeship tax, and an increase of all schedule taxes on a unified system of game permits and an increase in their cost, which will replace the sugar tax. It is estimated that these will produce in 1926 the four thousand million francs required to balance" the Budget. Supplementary measures include stricter supervision of
income tax,
The newspapers say that the inland letter rate may be increased to thirty centimes from June 1 An increase of the telegraphic rate is described as under consideration. Apparently there is no question 2 of increasing the postal and telegraphic charges for abroad-Reuter.

THE MOROCCAN "CAMPAIGN..
Parie, May.23.
The newspapers continue preoccupied with the position in Morocco. Le Matin's Madrid correspondent says that the Malyy mission has resulted in an agreement, not providing for Franco-Spanish military collaboration, but authorising France to pursue the rebels into the Spanish zone.
Le Journal says that a close Franco-Spanish blockade by land and sea alone will bring the Riffs to their senses.
On the other hand, Oeuvre Homme Libra hope that there will be no such collaboration, and opine that France is strong enough to act alone. Telegrams from Rabat state that new enemy movements Northwards are reported.-Reuter,
