Mr. Montagu in his speech dwelt upen the magnitude. of the burden cast upon the country by the | War. "We have had to keep, and con- | tinue to keep," said Mr. Montagu, 'an impregnable navy. We have into millions. We are financing by unable to follow | loans to our great dominions part, of | their expenditure on the contingéhts ! which are helping us to fight. We are paying, as regards India, the whole cost of the Indian contingents, «| except their nominal peace expendi- | tare. . "We have advanced to the Allies such a sum as it was estimated would # (equip and maintain in the field 3, 000,000 of their soldiers. We have a right to be proud of our share, and we ought to be proud of the way in which the proposals for meeting the war expenditure have been received by all classes." Mr. Montagu added that the coun- try had not yet bent itself to the task of meeting the obligations imposed by burdens which involved am ex- penditure amounting to not less than two-thirds of the entire estimated na- tional income. Therefore, it follow- ed, he said, that every citizen ought to be prepared to put no less than half of his current income at the dis posal of the state, either by tax or loan. To do this, Mr. Montagu continued, the civil population must stint itself | and rearrange its whole life with re- gard to the consumption of luxuries and foreign purchased goods. There would, however, be still more money {left in the pockets of the people that | {would have to be got later by loan | taxation, and this had caused a feel- ing of relief and given an assurance that the country could continue to finance the war.
