THE PRIME MINISTER'S SALANY, “

It will probably surprise saine to learn that the Erime Ministers of England are not able to manke ends meet on their official salary. Mr. Ramsay McDonald raises this important point in un article published a few days ago on The Prime Minister of England, when he calls at tention to the insufficiency of the Pre mier's pay. The salary of the post is now £5,000, and not a half-penny more, and of that the State deducts about £1,500 in taxes. while, according to the ex-Labour Premier, 10 Downing Street, makes a beavy inroad upon and is tot an addition to the salary, and "Che- quers, that gracious gift of peace and refreshment, though it may properly be ndled to the enjoyment of the office, must be regarded as n minus quantity in its cash emolumente,"

No Prime Minister but leaves No. 10 apoorer man than when he entered it, and, contrary to popular misconception, there is no pension attaching the post. It would not be unreasonable if the salary were made free of income-tax. DOMINION LOANS.

I hear that the raising of the ban in London on loans for the Dominions, an aounced this week by Mr. Churchill, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, was chiefly the result of pressure by Australia. The fact that in a list of forthcoming issues six loans are from the Australian Com monwealth bas naturally had some in- fluence. These six loans amount to gether to £20,000,000, and, the greater part of this vast sum will be devoted to the

purchase

of British goods. It is said in the City that the Australian Agents General put it up to Mr. Amery, the Dominions Minister, that of the money borrowed in the London market in the last 18 months by Australian States, than Ices amounting to 215,000,000, £1,000,000 left Britain in the form of Fold

Tics AND THE PUMP.

A temperance campaign on a national scale is in full swing in the Provinces under the auspices of certain bishops of the Church of England and leading people - In chú Free Churches. The organisers are hard at work ostensibly to bring about Local Option but in reality to rngineer a measure of Prohibition. You learn that Prohibition is the ultimate aim of the apostles of cold water be cause they cuñast keep the tell-tale word out of their platformi sperches. It slips out at every meeting. The constant FF- petition of the word reminds one of poor Mr. Dick and King Charles's head.

The tactics are different from thos adopted a few years ago when Mr.

Pussy foot Johnson tame to London, dashed with the victory of the Prohibi tienists in America, and started a raging, tearing teetotal campaign to make old England go dry. All Mr. Johnson did, however, was to give a new word to the language to denote a "kill-joy" where other people are concerned. The country would have nothing to do with Prohibition then, nor will it now, I be lieve, although the National Temperance Campaign of the Churches," as the present campaigners style themselves,

appealing to John Buli to turn from patent beverages and patronise the pump.

WHAT WILL THE LIBERħa Dot

The generally interesting question at the moment is what the attitude of the Liberal Party will be to this teetotal

stunt." The religious zealots who are beating the drum for Prohibition which they have camouflaged as Local. Option want to get the Liberala to make the question a pluck in their platform, and Mr. Lloyd George is half-disposed to oblige them. But the Liberal party managers are against it.

i

I believe if the Liberals are foolish enough to adopt the Local Option" slogan it will mean the end of them, as a political party. After the last General Election they went back to the House of Cormous so reduced in numbers that charabane could have accomodated them; but as champions of teetotalism in,

in the the present and Prohibition future, I think a motor-car would be quite big enough to carry the party after the next election!
