In the interim the Taxation Committee of the association have carefully considered this proponition, and the result of their deliberations, is the form of a report, was approved and adopted by the executive douncil of the association last month and a copy has been forwarded to thọ, Chan- cellor of the Exchequer. The sum and' substances of the conclusions arrived et by♬ the committee is that the Excess Profits Duty can be discontinued if expenditures kept within reasonable bounda

The abolition of the tax, the committee aver, would do much to encourage entan prise and energy in industry, one result of which would-be that profts would be m'aim tained, so that there would be a propor tional increase in Income Tax and an i creased yield in Super Tax and Corpora tion Duty. As a result of ji examination of the position the committee is convinced that the policy of national expenditure must be governed not by what in other circumstances might be desirable, but by the ability of the community to bear the taxation to meet the expenditure,

£100,000,000 WASTED IN

PERSIA.

DERELICT CAMPS WITH SWEM KING BATHS.

*NO LUXURY SPARED

An enlightening article on the enormous waste of money in East Persia appears if the Times of India over the signature "Enfr Libro" (free, at last). Ma

The writer, who appears to have been at officer of atanding during the campaign, gives many examples of criminal waste; the cost of which he says, cannot have been: Jess than £100,000,000. He contrasts the discomfort of camps on the Indian frontier with the luxury of the encampments in

Persia

"We have left," he says, a 600-mile chain of derdict barracks and caravan. serais, messes, "ee-bouses; and, swimming batha, to tity to the wealth of Great Britain and the dimensions of its taxes for many years. The road is clearly marked with scrapped Ford vans and thousands of dead camels".

£100,000 CAMP

The writer mention, a juxurious onespp. ment created at Turbat i-Haidari, eighty miles south-south west of Meshed. It was afterwards discovered that it was built on private land, and the owner was paid a preposterous sum as compensation. This cantonment-cost £100,000, and in eleven months it was scrapped.

-The

hole aspect of the country was changed manifcently at a magnificent cost. "What some of the road or building or camek contisstors made out of the British Government would," he says, 45-KIRKO @ multi-millionaire green with envy.

The writer declares that the force w the most expensive of ita size in history, My sojaim is the East as a soldier he conclude, **has not taught me mach in the way of business.”

The fores mentioned in this telegram on- sisted of British detachments brought from India two years ago to guard against dangers triung from the state of anarchy prevalent in Turkestan. The troops were brought round the southern and western sido of Afganistan and through Seistan, and were based on Meshed, working up the Trans-Caspian railway-ExpTEAL.

A telegram. from Lyons announces that the top of the Calcairo Pyramid, which is the culminating point of the mountain, became detached causing a formidable avalanche Sweeping down the Breava Glacier, huge masses of rock and show carried away the forests of fir trees, and plunged into the Dare Valley, stopping miraculously at Oreoda Pouriced, an Italian township. Without further information it is difficult to viell whother, any "appreciable permanent differ- enoo has been made.
