BRITISH INVESTMENTS

ABROAD.

WHEN Mr. LLOYD GEORGE started. on his career as Chancellor of the Exchequer and began to outline the schemes he had in mind for raiding the pockets of the rich and well-to-do to enable him to provide funds for old age pensions and other commun- istic devices, it was freely declared that one effect of his policy would be"] to drive British capital out of the

This condition is expected to be reversed, however, as the effect of the new taxation proposals become more pronounced. Whether it will be as the croakers aver, time alone I can tell.

Meanwhile it is decidedly interest- ing to discover how much British capital is now invented abroad. The. most recent figures are to be found in a speech delivered by Mr GEORGE Pasu before a meeting of the Royal Statistical Society and they can, we imagine, be accepted without reserve. He began by stating that the amount REASONABLE. of capital invested by Great Britain in India, the Oversen States and for- eign countries, up to the end, of
