This, possibly the most radical financial innovation that has resulted rrom tne war, is due to the conviction that It Is, if not ths only way out. at least the best way out. from under the terrific financial burden the war will leave. At the end-of ths war Great Britain will face the necessity of providing $2,500,000,000 or more annual revenue. It will cost half that to- meet the run nlng expenses of the government, and the -greater part of the other half to meet the interest on war loans.
