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. Our army
so nall iatatobe thought negligible at
the beginning of the war has been ex-
perrded ha leas than. 'two years into a
force competing in size ,andequipirent
with those vast contineatal a,rmies
which has talon, generations to build
up.
"We converted industrial Eagland
into, one great naval and 'military
workshop. It is 4ve to eay that with -

thuelaism could have accomplished lit-

ed ir history by ,any country. It has
been a British tradition to 'meet tne
cost of war aa ,far as. possible by taxa-
tior., and—we mad:retained that poliey
even in this. ur.preeedersted atraggi
Out of a total expenditure for the
currenf year en $9,125,000.000 no less
then $2,500,000,000 being net by taxa -
tier. ,we have inereased certain. intli-
reet taxes or. tebacco, tea, sugar, etc.,
and we have introluced new, ones on
tna.tehes, table waters, entertainments,
,etc., but our heaviezt demarsd.s have
been made through direct taxes, oar

wher. their incoMes are very small, up
to over 41 1-2 per ceat. when their in

they paid two-fifths of 1 per :cent. on
very small incomes to 13 per (cent. on
very large intomes. Finally, we have
accomplished that from any increase
in profits e,arrsed duriag the war 00
per cent. shall be surrendered to toe
State.
"Our-poeition is so sound that if we
were to ered the War at the end. of the
current financial year, that is to say
or.. March 31, 1917t our present iscale of
taxation would Provide not only for
the whole of tout peace rexper_ditare

sI may perhape be allowed to ex -
plait, this more Oreeisely::'i Our total
rever.ue for the current year is esti-
mated at •a2,545„500,000. Our expend:-
ture in, the laet fi11 year of peace was
about $1,000,000,000. 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. We have ap-

each occastoc we have been eno-re

“Our first war loan in November,
1914, did not appeal further than to
the moderately large investor. With
the second war a02.1a, In July, 191E,
.we decieled on a more general =ob.
tlization, of savings, sa,d. In order to
bring title about we introduced. a com-
plete innovation lb our financial his-
tory. It was arranged that subscrip-
tions to the new lean could IA made
through the post office far tamoucts
as low as $25. and furthee that even
these 'small eubscriptiona could- be
paid in fve &alining inataiments. For
the first time the working roan 'was
invited to take a tdirect share in fine
ancing the country other than through
taxation. In the past the Briton had
s'hown no !strong inclination toward
thrift, and there were many who
doubted the posSibility of ,tiny eud-
den change, but the last twelvemonths
have proved we were right.
