In the House of Commons, Sir Robert Horne, Chancellor of the Ecote, Chan Nai Pan, Chan Pun Kow, chequer drew a gloomy picture of the antional finances. He said the estimat ed surplus of 197,000,000 had entirely disappeared owing to the coal stoppage and the railway agreement. The revenue had been surprisingly good. the income tax, estate duties, customs and excise duties, having exceeded, ex- pectations, thus showing that people had greater reserves of wealth than saspected. The Commons would require to harden its heart and cut its coat according to its cloth. It was not yet fully realised that there must be additional expenditure us the American debt was still owing and the interest had been postponed for the last three years according to an arrangement under which the interest will begin next year payable at £80,000,000 a year. The British nititude must be "what we have owed we havo always been pre- pared to pay. We should meet our obligations however hard and difficult the circumstances." (Cheers.) He concluded that the horizon was distinctly brighter and expressed assurance that Britain's traditional tenacity and resourcefulness would carry her through hard tines.
