If France could only see her way clearly for an assured national revenue, or a reactive fold of taxation, there would not be any great difficuity in arranging pensions for the aged soldiers of industry on their attaining the age of 65. As it is, the constructive calculations are not as clear as neonday. The annual dadnations made from the salaries of work people agricultural as well as industrial-with tho proportionate contributions of employers, are estimated at 350 millions of frases. An additional 150 millions of franca would be re quired to be provided by the Government in order to secure a pension of one fraie per day. Now where is the State to get that 150 millions of franes a year? It cannot think of

imposing new taxes; the tendency of the 1ato of interest is to come dern in every country: it is only 2 per cent. on public funds in Amerion. It is proposed gradually to increase the State contribution every year, until the maximum figure required be reached. But the trend of the grants to the army, nary, and commerce is also to augment. Ef a workman prematurely dies, and has paid his anewal four to the possžon fund, and if he has a wife and family, they must be assisted for a transitory period. The Govern ment is willing to start the Pension Fund with yearly contribution of 15 millions of franes, to be increased by 7 millions of francs yearly, until 165 millions of frames be attained, as its permanent annual donation. But from what quarter, or how, is the sum of nearly seven millions pounds sterling to come? That is the whole solene, put in ita dificulties No importance is attached to the aid from insur- ranos,
