Britain's Credit Pride and satisfaction. have been. caused throughout Great 13ritain, by the etate,merst made in the Hue of Conur.o.ns last week by the Right Hon. Reginald McKenna, Chancellor of the Exchequer, regardir.g the financial condition of the country, and his decl,artation that no matter how lortg the war may last, Ecgland will be able to maintain her credit to the end. The importar.ce of such a ataten-ent. at the end of two years (of a giganale struggle, in whicn money ploys not the least impoetant part, cannet be over- estimated, it is felt here, and special value, therefore, attaches .to the fol- lowing interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer who enlarges and completes the survey which he pre- serted be Paxliament. Chancellor McKenna began by rs- callirg the facts of Great Britain's financial mobilization. He said: 'It is by comparison .with -the pat thag we car, best realize the magni- tude of the problem wath. which Great Ratan., is faced today, as you know our present ,expenditure is ,ait the raet of about $2,5,000,000 a day, or about $9,126,000,000 a year. All that was spent by us during the many year of reVaIutionia,ry and Napoleonic wars would rapt suffice forsixrnonthe of the .present struggle. "Our la,st war ir, the South African: eampaigr, cost us $1,250,000,000 and laisted two and one-half years. Today Ma awn would be ased up t1r. lee - than two motets. The 'Arenerlears Civil War was para ticeittrly costly, but the $3,330,000,000 which historians eay was epent by .the Northern States during those four years is equal to little more than four months of our present expenditure. yet these enormous figures are not oat of pro(porktilon. to our teak. "We have kept the seasorthe world Olavh for ourselves and our allies. We closed them to our enemies.

To arrive at WI. estimate of an after the war expend- iture on the assraMption that it Le. over, by next March, We must add V..nistber 590,000,0000 for interest seed the sink- thg fund on the new debt, together with a further - u. -n of about $104,- 000,000 for per.slone, making a total yearly expenditure of about $1,690.- 000,000. The surplus on the exieting taxation is. as you 1i -see, U55,000,- 000, leaving, after the withdrawal of $430,000,000 received from the excess profits tax. a margin of $425,000,000. "The taxes are the finan-cial contri- bution toward .the war which every citizen is forced to make, and our re- venue Oulu these sources is equal to bet ween one-quarter k ad on eithir our total expenditure. For the rest we must rely on the voluntaryoeffort individanals on loans, and we have not been disappointesd.
