Resume of World’s Important
Events Told in Brief.
Ixmdon—David Lloyd George, chan­
cellor of the «xchaquer In the bouse of
commons, Wednesday estimated that
the coat of the war for one year for
thia country would be £450,000,000
(«,<60,000,000), the largest amount
England has ever spent on a war, and
more than twice what was s|>enl in the
four yeara* conflict in South Africa.
To pay this enormous bill the gov­
ernment had decided, he said, to raise
a loan of £360,000,000 (<1,750,000,-
000), which would be issued at 96,
bear interest at the rate of 3) per
cent, and tie redeemable at par March
I. It
The chancellor proposed and the
house unanimously supported him, that
the income tax should lie doubled, but
only collected on one-third of the In­
come this year; that an extra half
penny (one cent) [x-r half pint should
be levied on beer, and an extra three
l>enco (six cents) per pound on tea.
He explained that the expenditure
on the British troops would be higher
in pro|>ortion than that of any other
country in the world, aa the pay and
the coat of the army and navy were
greater; there were ae|>arate allow­
ances to the men and their families,
and pensions were on a larger scale.
Already 2,000,000 were serving and
another 1,000,000 were in the course
of enlistment.
Mr. Lloyd George said the govern-
ment also had decided for the present
not to tax the wages of classes not
paying the income tax.
He said it scarcely was realized that
2,000,000 mon now were serving the
country under arms, and he confidently
expected this number would be In­
creased in the next few months to 3,-
000,000 men. which, he added, would
entail the |>ayment of separation al­
lowances amounting to £76,000,000 a
year.
Incidentally the chancellor of
the exchequer estimated that a full
year of the war would coat at least
£450.000,000. This is infinitely great­
er than the coat of any war In which
Great Britain ever has been engaged.
The largest amount ever before spent
on war in a single year was £71,000,-
000.
