Present War Will Be
Costliest In History
The coat sheets of Kuropp's war.
forming a scenic backdrop for America's
political drama, are convincing
hankers and federal officials ' that it
will be the most expensive conflict In
history. ?*
Great Britain already is spending ut
the rate of $#.600,000,000 a year. 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
