(Special to the Guardian.),' LONDON, Dec. _14.--The Chancel-
lor said the total amount of votes of credit since the cubreak of the war was' 3,952,000,000 pounds including $l2,000,000"pounds for extra adminis- tration ex’pens_es. Continuing the-` Chancellor said: “In moving the last vote o fcredit '19/ir. Asquith used the words, ‘they, the Allies, require that there 'shall be adequate security for the future! That is still the poli- oy. still the determination of His Ma- Jesty’s ` government." The state- ment' was received with prolonged ge- neral cheering. . _
In "moving the vote of credit, Mr.
Bonar- Law said that, assuming the rate of expenditure was the same as ‘lt had been, the present vote would carry them until February 24. The totals for the dnanclal year would he 1,950,000,000 pounds. The budget estimate of the financial year he said was exceeded by 350,000,000 pounds Loans to the Allied governments am- ounted to 400,000 pounds daily. .
In discussing the vote of credit Mr.
Bonar Law said an additional 200,- 000,000 would be required from Feb- ruary 24 to which time todays vote is expected to suffice, until the- end of the financial year which would bring up the total votes for the year to 1,950,000,000 pounds or 350,000,000 pounds in excess of the estimate made,
some months ago by the then Chancel- lor Reginald McKenna. The enor- mous increase: in the output of muni tions was emphasized by the Chan- cellor who said that if he could givf the figures of June, 1915, and those ol today, the difference would be almost incredible. "Something has happen ed on which I think it necessary that I should say a word," Mr. Bonar Lan continued, “naturally the papers arf full of the peace proposals from Ber- lin. Until now no proposals have reached His Majesty's government. It is obvious that under these circum stances no members of- the govern ment can make any statement on the subject. Considering the nature of this country and how entirely its ener- gies had been devoted to peace," Mr. Bonar Law went on, “It is mervellour to consider how she has been organiz ed for war. No more striking proof of the ability of the Council from al industrial point of view was founf that in the enormous extent by whicl the output of munitions had increase( during the last year.
