That amounts to 40 ceuls of every dollar its citlsens earn. On a population basis, It would equal a $27,000,000,000 annual budget for the (Juited States, more than double that or auy of the high spending depression years. Britons figure the cost will go up a third for the secoud year and will double by the third year if war goes on. The third year would reaoh a point which, if the budget were met out of pocket, would take 80 cehts of every dollar earned in Britain?if the eai nluga came up to those of 1930. The French costs are a little lower than those of Britaiu. but still sre high enough to wreuch the souls of thrifty French taxpayers. France is spending at the rate of $7,400,000,000 a year, which would bo equivalent to $23,000,000,000 for the Uulted States. Compared to French earnings, however. the spending works out to more than 40 cents of 4?very dollar the Fi enchmen earn. [ German costs are largely a mutter of conjecture. The best estimates at which experts can arrive, however, produce the rounded conclusion that 60 cents of every dollar earned in Germany Is being spent by the state. Three-fourths of this is being raised by taxes, contributions and profits from state enterprises. Figures from Russia and Finland are hard to get. Nor is any over-all figure available for neutral spending. Belgium and The Netherlands, each with less than one-fourteenth of the population of the United States, are spending $300,000,000 to maintain their regular governmental operating expenses. Sweden, with a population half a million loss than that of Ohio, Is spending $476,000,000 this year, half of it to keep from being swept into the maelstrom. Recalling their 'financial troubles of the last war, the nations involved are turning promptly to heavy taxes to finance the shooting. Private savings are being drafted, too, through forced loan subscriptions. Already the Individual Income tax in Britain has been hoisted to 37 1-2 per cent. ENGLAND'8 RICHE8T MAN GIVE8 NAVY $160,000 TORPEDO BOAT When the British admiralty opened its mail the other daylt almost lost its cherished reputation for never being surprised. For among the letters was a brief note announcing the gift of a $160,000 torpedo boat from Sir John Reevea Ellerman. A* The admiralty hasn't thanked the lean, 30-year-old peer, who is Britain's richest young man,- because it can't. It doesn't know where Sir John is living. .... . Sir John has made a fetish of secrecy ever since 1933, when he inherited the bulk of his father's estates? estimated as worth $171,709,771.92 in that year. He and his wife live on a farm in Berkshire, England, surrounded by an 1 e!?htlfoot ^ topped with broken glass, fu thls privacy Lord Ellerman indulges his hobbies, amateur theatricals and zoology. His wife is reputed tq be a talented painter. She directs the work on the farm, produce from which is given to the military hospital at Camberly. But Ixindon society does not know if she ever visits a theatre, restaurant, or concert. No one gets a chance to ask her. Sir John seldom appears at any of his many offices or at the board meetings of any of the 50 companies of which he owns a large share of stock. The Ellerman holdings Include six major steamship companies, interest in half a dozen of Britain's biggest breweries and a group of English illustrated newspapers. Battleships Still King of The Seven Seas Washington, April 16.?The European war has convinced the navy more than ever before, that the battleship rules the sea, despite the advances in air power. This was the gist of testimony given by Hear Admiral S. M. Robinson, chief of the navy's construction | bureau, before a senate appropriations sub-committee considering the naval appropriations bill and made public by the committee. The bill carries funds to start construction of two new 45,000-ton dreadnaughts. In response to questions as to the efficacy of the large battleships, Admiral Robinson told the committee that it was the navy's opinion that . Great Britain controls the seas because of her preponderance over Germany in such craft. * "You have one country today that has a preponderance of battleships, That country controls the sea," Admiral Robinson testified. "You have anothef country which has a preponderance of submarines and aircraft, and it is a totally blockaded country. > "Now the point is that the United States wants to be in the position of England, on the. seas and not in the position of Germany ? that is the whole story.'!? 1. As for aircraft, he indicated, that if only one side had planes, they, might play a decisive role in a conflict. "However," he added, "the other follow has alrcraff, too, and the result la that when the smoke of battle clears away most of the aircraft are destroyed and you have left your cap* ltal ships In control of the flea." Admiral Harold R. Stark, chief of # naval operations, testified that mpst United States harbors are vulnerable to attack by submarines or torpedocarrying motorboats because the navy has no funds to purchase and lay the latest type of defense nets, ROTARY QUESTS Coker students who are daughters of Rotarlans will be guests of the local club at the regular Tuesday 'luncheon of the club, April-id. The iRotarian daughters Included Sophia Creed of Camden, Kathertne Ferguson and Bernita Fowler, both of Spartanburg and Margaret Greyard of Greenville. ?Hartsvllle Messenger.
