Nothing approaching it has ever been witnessed or even concelved Chancellor McKenna recently id war was costing Britain $30,000,000 daily, which at the rate of over ten billions a year. Such figures stagger the mind; and vet, as just said, the end of these resources are not yet in i , and the strain though terrific is borne with relative ease. Britain's fi- nancial skill and strength has been chiefly displayed in her control of foreign exchange and the ability to upendous war bills. It is r since the British govern- ment issued any permanent loan, hav- ing pald expenses out of current taxes, treasury bills and short term obliga- tions. The chief sources of British financial strength have heen huge forsign investment, unexampled b ing resources and control of a supply of gold and high grade securi- ties. Great Rritain has sent about $200,000,000 of gold towards payment for her purchases in this country. She has also sent over American securities estimated at about $1,500,000,000; so that hor share of pavment for the | $2.165,000,000 excess exports in the fiscal year just closed must be closely settled. Tt is, of well known known that Brit: borrowed 1 > sums in th for- eign owned Ame £ col- lateral; thus preventing any unnece ry liquidation of such holdings.

The British government, however, is financing the war as far possible upon the pay-as-you-go plan, and in this she is receiving material assist- ance at home from the economy campaign which has largely increased the savings of the working classes and so added to her financial strength.
