Wages of the British workmen were I cut more than 6,000,000 pounds a week ; in 1921, says the British board of trade. ; The reduction affected more than 7,1 000,000 workers and was almost equal to the Increases in pay which had been granted in 1919 and 1920. The severity of the British income tnv m.iv be iudtred bv the fact that in stallments now payable, including thei super-tax, amount to 400,000 pounds j sterling. This burden is borne by less than 2,500,000 persons. The sum now levied in income taxes is almost twice as much as the whole national revenue in 1914. The number of unemployed continued to increase during the past month. I A statement issued by the American chamber of commerce in London shows | the severe declines in British trade last J year. It gives British imports in 1921 j as only 74.3 per cent of their volume in j 1913, while exports were only 49.8 perl cent of those of 1913. In the last three months of 1921 howI ever, a steady Increase is noted in exI ports of.coal and manufactured goods.
