the Reich and the other public authorities still have it in their power to prevent a crisis. The economic situation, though it is already showing signs of tension, does not seem as yet to have developed points of immediate danger. Moreover, some of the new expenditures that threaten the most far-reaching consequences aro stiil only in the stage of discussion, and have not yeo bpen authorized by law. The present financial settlement between the Reich and the States acid communes cannot be considered a provident arrangement for the Reich, and it is epen, as pointed out in my last report, to fundamental objections of principle. These criticisms are fully confirmed by recent events.

The States and communes are now drawing larger payments from the Reich than ever before, and will get tho principal bonefi's front any increased revenues that tie Erich may collect from the income, corporation turnover taxes in excess of the amount required to fulfil tbo guaranfy already given. At the same time, the responsibility for awl public expenditure seems to become more and moro confused. Notwithstanding their increased transfers from the Reich, the States end communes are pressing new demands for still larger payments to meet their constantly increasing expenditures, the Reich itself lias added to the confivs.on by bringing forward new proposals for expenditure which Stall further burden the Budgets of the States and communes. The consequences of the present policy may be 1. The Reich, by failing lo exercise proper restraint in its expenditure, endanger the stability of its Budget.

2. With its own expenditures constantly rising, the Reich naturally finds it difficult to induce the States and communes to bring their Budgets into ptopex crder. 3. The result is a general lack of effective control over public spending and public borrowing. Tn unsound public finance is increasingly prevalent.

4. Still more broadly, in (heir effects on economic life, the measures taken by the Reich and otlier public authorities are tending strongly toward increased costs of production, increased prices, and increased cc6t of living. SEVERE REACTION. I have attempted to bring together the accumulating evidences of over-spendino- and over-borrowing on the part of the German public authorities and some of the indications of artificial stimulation and over-expansion that arc already manifesting themselves. These tendencies, if allowed to continue unchecked, are almost certain, on the one hand to lead to severe economic reaction and depression, and are likely, on the other to encourage the impression that Germany is not acting with due regard to her reparation obligations.

Internally, it evident that an economic crisis would have the most discouraging consequences for the German people and that it would mean a serious setback to the reconstruction of German economic life. The German Government's repjv to the memorandum is a long document, "and very thoroughly into the problems of Germany financial position and Referring to the dangers to which Germany's economic kfe and the execution of the Dawes scheme are exposed by excess of expenditure and external borrowings by German authorities, the reply says that the German Government reaiizes these dangers, and will do its utmost to counteract them. The Government cannot agree with Mr. Gilbert that the present condition of Germany's economic lifo is due mainly to the reasons given by- the Agent-Geneml. The Government declares r.iat the aim of its economic policy i 3 to develop the productive forces of the country in order to improve the standard of living of the German people and at the same time to enable them to fulfil their reparations obligations.

Germany's total war burdens, the statement adds, amount this year to more than three and a half miiliard marks, and absorb more than half the entire ordinary and extraordinary revenue. It is therefore clear that no Budget could be drawn up without talcing into consideration the reparations obligations. BROADCASTING. SAVILL ON MUSIC FOR THE UNMUSICAL. One of the most remarkable and interesting conversions from igmran'c a state of boredom to a love of music is that of Dr.

Agues SavUl, who will broadcast from 2LO to-night on the subject Music for the Unmusical." When she was studying for medicine Dr. Savili -was invited to hear a recital by Taderewski, but after the first piece cf musio bed been loudly applauded by a largo, audience she pulled out an anatomy book, and for the rest of the evening kept ber eyes glued to its pages without the slightest temptation to be distracted by the music. Tt was a just before the war awakened in ber a love of music, starting with Chopin. The power of the orchestra was not revealed to her until after the war. and now Dr.

comes from her consulting-room to tbe studio to tell listeners about her discovery of music and to add some footnotes to the book which published two or three years ago on Muric, Health, and Character." The main big features from London and Da vent ry to-night are a one-act playlet by Harold Chapin, the brilliant young dramatist, who was billed in France, and a farewell recital by Miss Jelly D'Aranyi, the worldfamous violinist.

BAKERS' PENSIONS LN RAL SEC ETA RY ADD RESS ES WESTCOUNTRY SOCIETY You have to look to your master bakers and the allied trades to get money together. Ir, is not through your subscriptions that you get your pensions, but it is through "the generosity of your industry," said E. C.

H. Itadley (general secretary) at a smoking concert at Plymouth on Saturday in connection with the West and South 'of England Journeymen Confectioners, Bread and Biscuit Bakers' Pension Society. Mr. M. Bkckmorc (local secretary) presided.

Mr. Iladley, referring to the progress of the society, said since four years ago the society had raised a capital of £1,000. The society, which was run on the oanie lines as the London organization, was founded because the operative bakers, and their wives in the seven counties it covered wanted something when old-age and infirmity crept upon them. The money for their pensions had to be obtained by the op era lives' subscriptions, which were 6s. ner year, and the same for the wife, for 10 years, for which they would get a pension of 10s.

6d. But it was not through their subscriptions alone that they were going lo find tbeir pensions. They had to look to the master bakers and the allied trades. The society wanted all operatives, whethej they belonged to the bakers' organization or not, to contribute to the pensions scheme, aud he would like to see the organization 6.CCO strong. This would bring in £1,800 per year, and they would be able to carry over 70 pensioners themselves.

Pensioners were not could work eight days a month if they so desired, and drawing the old-age pension would not interfere with the pension of their society. While 113 congratulated Ph mouth on it 3 membership of 40, he would "like to sec it 209. They were fortunate in Plymouth in having the support of their master bakers, and the following had contributed to their Ladd, Lock.

TEN MILLION MEN NOW UNDER ARMS. In a forceful article in yesterday's Sunday Pictorial Viscount Rothermero suggests that wo cannot better commemorate another Armistice-day than by turning to the consideration of the best method of securing a reduction of armaments throughout the worid. The present inflated cost of these, he declares, are an obstacle to the restoration of general prosperity and that spirit of good will which can 0 more than anything to prevent a recurrence of the last great Viscount Kothcrmcre says: A.niost nine years have passed since the cessation of hostilities id the Great War. Toward the end of the present week we shali once again be engaged in the solemn commemoration of Aimistice-day. It is natural at such a time to attempt to review the results of that great victory, which was regarded by responsible people in the lignt of a triumph for the arms of the Allies than the successful culmination of a war to cud war.

One only needs to look around to see how sadly our hopes of nine years ago have bceu disappointed. What most of all alarms the careful observer to-day is the recrudescence of the militarist spirit throughout the world. Europe is once again an armed camp. According to Mr. Lloyd George, there are now ten million men under arms, or one million more than in pre-war days.

There is no escape from the conclusion that we are once again drifting in the position of fourteen years ago, which made a conflagration inevitable whenever the spark was applied. POST-WAR CHANGE. Unfortunately, advocacy of reduced armaments lias hitherto been the prerogative of small-minded coteries and those antipatriotic minorities who would willingly laybare the bosom of their own country to the thrusts of alien enemies. These are the people who were, jn days gone past, referred to as Little Englanders." Their disarmament doctrines were intellectually bentath contempt. New factors have come into play which render feasible the rigid restriction of armaments by practically the whole of Europe.

The whoie science and art of warfare is undergoing such drastic transformations that the maintenance under arir.s of great masses of ineu is probably worse than useless. The nation which cripples bcr industries and resources by taxation necessary to defray the cost of elaborate armies and navies on" prewar lines may conceivably be delivering herself into the hands of ber enemies and when war should take place. Warfare of the future must almost necessarily depend upon the chemist and the trained u.cchanic. The foot soldier and the ordinary saiiior may prove of relatively Little value. The fact that a nation's safety in war will in future depend more closely upon that stability of finance which is tbe result of Go'vercanental economy and low taxation and upon the possession of progressive and prosperous industries opens up a new approach towards the ideal of disarmament upon a rational basis.

The great difficuLty, however, is that Europe is still under bondage to the old militaristic idea, an! that so-called experts insist upon regarding the problem of national defence in terms of man-power and gigantic Wembift. LESSONS UNHEEDED. In the first months of tlie war we could not have hoped success! ull)'' to combat an intensive sub.mar.ne campaign such as was developed against us latterly. Despite all this, our naval experts proceed with building programmes which take little, or no, account of the obvious lessons of the Great War. Where, one may ask, will the big ships hide during the next war 1 What is to be dove to put an end to this crazy competition in building costly ships of an obsolescent type? In my view, the first stc would be to summon another naval conference, preferably at Washington, and to try and complete the good work achieved there at the Conference of J.

Tho urgency of finding a solution of this problem of disarmament can hardly be exaggerated. Already wo have seen stirrings and unrest amongst the smaller nations Europe, which, bufc for the exhaustion of the last conflict, would almost certainly have precipitated us into a new war. Th resettlement of Europe is far from being accomplished, and unless tbe big nations will give a lead in this matter of disarmament we shall probably be embroiled in a second worid war of a more disastrous type than the. last. Our only rivals on the sea are great friendlynations, whose lie in the preservation of peace.

Consequently thero is every reason why we should try, in conjunction with them, to relieve Europe and the world at large from some portion of this Staggering burden of armaments, It will indeed be a lasting reproach to us if, after all these years, we aro not anxious and willing to render effectual the sacrifice of those who suffered and died for us in order to achieve the victory which we arc once again about to commemorate.
