BRITISH WAR COST' 310,500,000 DAILY Debt of Country Now, Said Lloyd George, Stands Over $5,000,000,000 Mark, HINT AT NEW TAX MEASURE Chancellor's Speech Taken to Indicate , at -Some Future .. Date He Would Propose Huge Loan to finance War for Period of Six or. Twelve -Months.' - " - ay a London, May 4. David Lloyd Oeorgs, chancellor of the exchequer, today gave tho British public further Insight Into what the war la costing the nation. The expenditure now, Mr. Uoyd George said, was IH.1Q0.004 dally, aad hs added thai if tha war contla ued for-a year Qreat Britain's bill would be upward of 11,400, 000.809. Tho debt of ths countir.-acoordlng to Mr. Lloyd Oeorgs, already -had been almost doubled 'and stood well over tha W.40M90.000 mark." f . The chancellor declined . to- predict the length of the war. He liitroduced no measures calling for new taxes, al though ho hinted thai such a -step likely would have to be taken. There was little discussion of the budget It self aad the usual Income tax reso lutions were passed before tha Houss adjourned. " . t Mr. Lloyd Oeorgs said he was able to report that the revenue of the country had exceeded the estimates and that the sur-tax and ineoma tax payers were sending Jin their money with unusual celerity. During tha evening Austen Cham berlln mentioned tbe proposals for in creasing the taxes on beer, wise and spirits, which tbs Unionists aad Na tionalists and several Liberal mem bers declared- their Intention to op pose. Mr. Uoyd Oeorgs said hs was open to consider proposals from dis tillers and brewers.

The chancellor's speech was taken to Indicate that at some' future data Mr. Lloyd George would propose a huge loan to finance the war for a further period of from six to twelve months. ' Comparing- the financial problems of Great Britain and Germany, Mr. Lloyd George In his speech remarked that while British Imports had In creased enormously and exports had decreased considerably, both the ex ports and Imports of Germany had been cut oS by the British navy. From the point of view of a war minister, Mr. Uoyd Oeorgu added, this made Great Britain better off. but from the point of, view of a finance minister her ' position was more difficult. In tha ordinary year, tbe chancellor continued, British Im ports ranged $&0.000.4 .above ex ports, but this year they would , he f 2.140.004.404 exclusive of govern ment purchases. ' - Refers To British Port. Referring to the question of dis crimination In recruiting the chancel lor said he thought the allies ought to determine the part Great Britain should play In the combination and the best service she could" rsnder. She could, he declared, keep command of the sea, which was essential to the allies' ultimata success, especially if the war were prolonged; she could maintain a. great army on a conti nental scale, and a third service, was one ahe bad rendered In the Napo leonic, days bearing the main burden of financing ths allies. ' Great Britain, said Mr. Lloyd George, could do the first and third of these things, but ths second she could do only within certain limits, fche had raised aft, enormous army, but tha time had come for discrimi nating in recruiting within auggested limits, However, there was a great boom for recruiting. The chancellor than caused a smile of relief by announcing that there would be no fresh taxation. He said he would confine himself at present to asking the House to renew the In come tax on the scale announced- In November, but with some modifica tion. ' If, however, the war was pro longed, the chancellor added, it would b the duty of the House to consider What other contribution the com munity could make and in what other form to enable Great Britain to "It Is vftal for the rurressful' con duct of the war, and te help finance the allies, that our national savings should Increase' the chancellor tald.
