(Reuter.)

It was a thankless task to tell the truth to the country from which the truth had been with.leid for ten years, in order not to offend its susceptibilities. “We must,” he said, “have courage to insist ou the State reducing expenditure. The, hour has come when the nation must reduce its standard of- living in order to keep within its resouries. 1 mn sorry that 1 am obliged to ask for such efforts, not only from the werv rich, hut from all taxpayers, according to their means.” .
