RUT BRITAIN PAYS IT ALL.

Great Britain pays, three hundred million pounds, or a billion and a half dollars, to her own subjects as interest on her war bonds, and a good measure of this she takes back in taxes. But her total debt service is not one-half her government ex- penditure. She has a budget of eight hundred million pounds, or nearly four billion dollars.. This is much greater than that of the United States.

But she collects it all, and if she has a deficit this year it will be only because she has elected to pay twenty million pounds, or a hundred million dollars, to subsidise her coal interests while she takes time to solve the problem of her fuel supply and throw the Bolsheviks out of the country.

England was the great war sufferer. She had most to lose in trade, shipping, coal, and manufacturing. But in seven years after the war, she has balanced her bufet, advanced the pound sterling by fifty per cent. to its parity with the U.S. gold dollar, settled Ireland, and thrown over free trade.

American motors are not in. evidence on English highways as they were a few years ago. Her mctor companies, under a thirty-three per cent. protective tariff have sprung to the front and are putting two thousand.. motors upon the English high- ways every week.
