BURDEN OF WAR DEBT. LABOR ADVOCATES LEVY. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Nov. 2, 11.20 p.m. London, Nov. 1. Mr. J. R. Clynes (Leader of the Parliamentary Labor Party), speaking at Hemelhampstead, said no plan of economy, ordinary taxation and sinking funds would avail to rid the country of the intolerable burden of the war debt, which was the chief cause of the dislocation of trade. The debt could only be paid by means of transferring private possessions to the State. Opponents of a levy ought frankly to acknowledge that without it the country would be saddled with ruinous taxation permanently. Payers of the levy would soon reap the reward in the shape of reduced taxation and improved trade. MR. LLOYD GEORGE INDISPOSED. Received November 2, 7.45 p.m. London, Nov. 1. Mr. C. B. Fry, the cricketer, is contesting Brighton as an Independent Liberal. Mr. Lloyd George, owing to a bad throat, will be confined to his house for the next few days.
