THE MONEY FOR THE WAR
liow Great Britain will meet the cost of the war is ai-
reaily being discussed by economists, says the Montreal
Gazette, and tlte lessons of history are being advanced
as rt basis for calculations as to the action the (‘hancellor
of the Exclieqiier will luke. Tliere are dit`t`erenccs in
conditions. liowt-ver, that may make ntost ot' the experi-
ence of the past inapplicable for the present. in 18:34-Eiti,
when befori- Great Britain eitti-red upon a Eiiropeiin wnr
ni-ithi-r the population nor thi- wealth appruaclteil tho
tigures ot' today. and then, also, war operations were i:ar»
ricil hy smaller armies and at lower general cost than
is now the rule. According to ligurcs iisi-ii by \\'. M. J.
Williams, iti the British Review for Octolier. the t`ritiii-ati
war increased thc British national di-bt by ,£:l9,000,0t)(l..
Gladstone, whose financial iiii-tis. all coiiceile to inivo
been sound, anil who was then in iiilicc, stood out for
inet-ting the expenses ot' the war out ot' taxation. and
pcrsuadcii Parliament to double the war tax. making
it is 2d in the pound. and to iucri-asc the duties on spirits.
malt. and sugar. thc taxes on i-ot't`ee and tea bcing also
later made heavier. Again in lS9il, when thi- South
African \var broke out, costing the country in all some
.L'2tl0.000,000. resort was hail to the old means. Again
the inconic tax wus raised to ls :ld in the pound; again
heavier itnposts were put on beer. spirits, tea. sugar and
tniiriciro; a duty was put on corti and tioiir and an ex-
port ciittrgc oi' a shilling a ton was levied on coal. (‘on-
ditions cliangeil between tiie time ot' the close of the
war in South Africa and the opening ot' that now going
on. It was a Gladstone idea, favored by others, that the
income tux should be reserved for war services, it being
tairlv easv to collect and falling iipoti those who coulil
bi-st bear the burden. it is tiow ttuestloncii. however, il'
the old resource is avaliable as it used to be. Gladstoni-'s
war figures of ls 2d in the pound is now the ordiitar_v
cliarge, ami for large incomes thi-.re is a super-tax ut'
tid, which brings the total up to ls 8d. or practically il
por cent a somewhat high figure, that it is not thought
is one of the few things, however. that it is deemed can
bc touched for the purpose of augmenting the national
income. nnd with n little on drittk and tobacco, Mr.
Williams is inclined to think lt will be what the Govern-
ment will fall back upon. The main cost of thc war, how-
ever, he holds, will have to be spread over many years,
the money being borrowed for the present and the debt
incri-ascii. The burilcn of the struggle will last for a
long time.

This sort of thing is the legitimate end of certain public
movements that have been going on ln the United States
for years. lt may he doubted if even the most determined
friend of the people will feel elation over the event. People
