***FAMINE.
GOVERNMENT AND THE
MOTORISTS.
By reason of the heavy taxation of their cars motorists have a de- finite claim to good, and ample roads. Already in many districts roads are uncomfortably, even dangerously, crowded. If conges- tion outside urban districts in- creases (Bays the Autocar), ownership of a car might well become not worth while. Should such a state ever obtain, a most serious blow would be struck to British industry, employment, and finance.
Yet, at the very moment when moro and better roads were urgently needed, the Chancellor of the Exchequer "raided" the un- spent millions accrued to the Road Fund. Actually not a penny can be spared from the roads. The situation as it is at prosent, and as it may well be in future if money be taken annually from taxes levied under direct promise that every penny raised thereby would be spent on the roads, ie, and will be serious.
That the urgency of the solu- tion of the problem is not lost

All sensible people will agree with that utterance, and the words were a tacit rebuke to that mem- ber of the Government who is re- sponsible for the nation's finance. A road famine-by no means an impossibility in the near future in view of the Chancellor's recent actions would be nothing short of a national calamity.
