You are de- liberately preparing for war.” There was a sudden clatter of hoofs and a scurry of mounted po- lice and Naval Guards and the man was thrown to the ground, then quickly carried back through the crowd away from the King's Guard. The King stood motionless throughout the brief disturbance. The demonsrator was identified the Home Office as Stanley Storey, who escaped on September 21 from the Canehill Asylum at Surrey. Several subdued boos from the crowd added to the disturbance when the Horse Guards' guns boomed at the end of the two- minute silent period and there were | cries of “Kill Him! Kill Him!” The thousands massed at the| cenotaph were impressed with the composure of the King and his brothers during the unprecedented outbreak.

A primary reason is the complaint |reaching Treasury ears with in-| creasing force that the man of large |means cannot operate in the mar- ket because he is fenced in so ef- l | [ fectively by taxes that he prefers to sit tight. It has been called a |“capital strike.’ | When the rich man stays out of| |the market, does little speculating to earn fat profits and otherwise |pulls his neck under his shell, his outlay for taxes is less. And fur-| ther, his capital is idle, or partly| 50. The result is that the long chain! jof new business that fresh capital !starts when invested in industry is| absent.
