The Daily News says the Budgat'ı application of the screw on taxation

GERMANY'S FINANCIAL

POSITION.

Dealing with Germany's financial position, bir. Bonar Law said Germany had admitted that her present daily Expenditure was £6,250,000, which is almost the same as ours, but it did not include separation allowancer, etc. The German Votes of Crodit to July quanħed £6,200,000,000.. A year hence 4hr German balance-sheet, rockoned on the same basis 'ne ours, would show a }; Jeficit of £386,000,000 on her national Jiabilities, of £720,000,000,

The German taxes' are not. baitg ispoed upon the wealthier classre, on whom the Goverment is afraid to pat extra taxation,

include resumption of the eand and gravel trafic from Germany through Holland to Belgium.

The threats by Germany to Helland are nothing new, hat on this occasion they are more violent than usual. The British Foreign Office is unEWATS of the ultimatum actually int, but undoubtedly the German Minister ot The Hagus used the most threatening terme.

The latest zewa indicates that the situation to-day is less trained.
