COOPERATE
WITH BRITAIN
Declares That This is The
Only Salvation For
The World
Editor's Note: David Lloyd George
former prem'er of England and the
world's most spectacular figure. In
an exclusive interview with the In
ternational News Service the first
since his resignation declared that
the good will and co-operation of
America and Great Britain Is the
only salvation for the- world. The
statement was a message to "Lin
coln's common people." The form
er premier appealed for American
participation In ths League of Na
tions, saying- that changes would be
made if the United States could be
Induced to enter. The famous Welsh
statesman, while pursuing the
strenuous campaign tactics of the
late Theodore Roosevelt, intimated
that his Ideal Is Abraham Lincoln.
With the eyes of the world upon the
British political campaign a war
between liberalism and toryism
this Interview takes on the Import
ance of a historic document.
By F. A. WRAT
(Copyright 1923 by International
News Service.)
GLASGOW, Scotland, Oct. 2S "My
message to Lincoln's 'common peo
ple,' who are now in the wilderness
at' this juncture of the world's his
tory, is: Work on, hope on, unfalter
ingly, unswervingly, and we shall
win through to the promised land."
This statement was made to In
ternational News Service exclusively
by former Premier David Lloyd
George In the private salon car of
hia campaign train as it was rush
ing towards Glasgow, where he wi'4
carry on his flgbt to rc-wln his lost
laurels.
(Mr. Lloyd George's opponent, A.
Bonar Law, was nominated for par
liament on the Tory ticket at Glas
gow two days ago.)
The former premier's car was be
decked with Hewers which had been
showered upon him by admirers as
the train was speeding northward
through the rolling hills in trium
phal progress.
Mr. Lloyd George has constantly
been making speeches to enthusias
tic crowds at every station. He has
appeared upon the platform Jovial
and smiling to wave greetings to
the villagers as the train passed
through villages and hamlets.
The former premier seemed tired
when he received the correspondent
after a short but nergatic speech.
He still seemed tired as he began
the Interview, but his eye lighted
up and he seemed to be revitalised
at the mention of Lincoln's name.
After an introductory word or two
Mr. Lloyd George exclaimed emphat
ically: "To secure the best happiness of
the world and a happy Issue out of
our afflictions, co-operation between
Great Britain and America is essen
tial to insure the world's peace.
"I am reluctant to say anything
regarding the best specific for Pr
rnanent maintenance of Anglo
American good will, fearing that my
words might possibly be misunder
stood or misinterpreted.
"But I insist that th closest good
win between the two nations Is the
only salvation for the world If we
are going to be spared awful calam
ities like those of the past eight
years.
"Great Britain and America are
the only two countries that are able
to gaze at the outside world from
an outside viewpoint. They are both
detached; both are able to take an
International view, perhaps America
better than ourselves.
"In ideals, in permanent trend of
thoueht they (Great Britain and the
United States) walk the same path.
Their Joint action alone can preserve
the world's eternal peace. Both na
tions hate war equally.
"Because of this common aim and
common understanding, I would give
almost anything to induce America
to enter the League of Nations. Un
til this convs to pass the league can
never attain its real strength and
function at the highest or exercise
Its proper authority.
"Because oi this, I would say to
America with all sincerity and all
the earnestness I pos-sess: If you
have any doubts or suspicions re
garding the League of Nations, tell
us eo we will try to dispel them. If
you desire information or have miss
conceptions we will to satisfy you.'
"If you would prefer the term
'Association of Nations' instead of
'League of Nations' thejj let us
change the name.
"I beg America to throw the great
weight of her moral influence side
by side with the league. Only there
by can the v.-orld be made safe."
Asked when he was going to the
United States, the former premier
replied:
"It has always been one of the
ambitions of my life, but I cannot
look ahead. One reason why 1 want
to go Is because I am a democrat
not in the party sense but in the
literal meaning of the word.
"I have always thought that I
understood Americans. When meet
ing them I gt their viewpoint na
turally and they seem to set mine.
It would be a joy for me to pay a
long visit to the United States.'"

Slunip in Revenues Disclosed
Today by Estimates of '
Budget Officers j
By, W. H. ATKINS ;

WASHINGTON. Oct. 28 A gov- ;
emment deficit of nearly $1,000,000.-
000 next fiscal year confronts th ,
administration, it was disclosed to- j
day by estimates of budget officers. '
The president and his advisers art '
said to be considering recommend- ;
ing new tax proposals to congress
When the sppropriation bills fo,
the next year go to congress in
December, a wide gulf between re
ceipts of the treasury will bp fa
less than was shown by earlier csi
mates. This is due to the slump !'
revenues from all principal sources :
Income and profits taxes show tho
argest decrease. Taxes from this '
source now are running $300,000,100 '
behind last year. Miscelaneous rev. j
enues are running 5120, 000. COO be- I
low last year's figures. Expected i
revenues from government security j
sales and from disposition of sur- !
plus war property have fallen bclo-.v '
estimates. I
Although no agreement upon new :
tax legislation has been definitely
reached, it is understood the ad
ministration is weighing the ques
tion of deriving more revenue from
sales of luxuries There &s no
thought of urging any increase in
the present scale of income tax-s. ;
Treasury tax experts are to be call
ed together early next month to
help solve the problem. 1
From the reports of departmeni

pehsonnel is back near peace time
strength, and operating expenses for
the various bureaus have been cut
to the bone. It is not thought pos
sible to reduce them much more
without crippling efficiency, and
warning against this has been given
the budget bureau. In some in
stances, department chiefs assert,
economy has been enforced at the
expense of real efficiency.
Treasury officials already were
disturbed by the certainty 01 a

ending June CO next. Their prob
lem now is aggravated by the pros
pect of a still larger gap between
income and outgo the twelve months
following.
This year's deficit may be greatly
reduced by the internal revenue bu
reau's war on tax dodgers. Treas-
officials are confident it will
bring an enormous volume of hid
den tax money into the treasury
vaults. The sweeping measures
adopted to force evaaers of taxes
into line, warrant prediction $500.

such alienation was the price he had
to pay for upholding what he be

gladly, with Etout heart and smile."

all his might their destructive and
absurd notions. After his death
