BRITISH FACING. # GRKAT PROBLEM Outlook for New Year Not So Bright. ?Unemployment and Ireland Furnish Food For Thought For Lloyd George London, Jan. 1.?Britain's outlook for 1921 je pictured in rather sombre colors by the politicians, economists, financiers and labor leaders. A1 home two outstanding problems?un employment and Ireland?have baf fled the government, while it is alsc besieged by many results of the war including a vigorous newspaper can paign against socalled governmenl extravagance. In the foreign field looking east waru, mere is me pwu lem of settling the Palestine boun daries, promising some pointed ex 1 changes of opinion with France Mesopotamia with its huge expense and its oil, the ever present Persiar difficulties which the last agreemenl has not allayed, India which is in a " greater state of unrest than foi 1 years, requiring an exceptional^ large garrison; Russia with hei trade proposals which have caused a split in the British cabinet, and the uncertain Greek situation. Officials here believe that withir | the next 12 months important deal ings between Great Britain and the United States will necessitate mosl I careful handling. Negotiations between the twe , countries have been almost dormanl . since the political conventions in the , United States. There is a desire here . to clear up the oil question whicl . has been the subject of a long series of communications on the questior I rtvfnnf + /"? M/VllnVl tVlf I OS IU U1C tAVtn w VV .

Officials hert have not desired to push these ques tions to a settlement until advenl of the new American administrator but hope to get them under way soor after March 4. While the government is beinf seriously pressed on one side to ceas< enormous expenditure, it is besiegec on the other tfith demands for un employment funds, cash for housinf schemes and other post-war expen ditures with a result that there ii little likelihoed of reduction in th< burdensome taxation. Cost of Living. Some relief is promised in reduce) cost of living except in the price o: food which rose steadily durinj 1920. With industry hard hit an* a million jobless, merchants who hai been holding commodities for hig] prices are expected to continue fc dump their goods at a loss. This ha caused slight reductions during th latter weeks of the old year.
