Thoughts For The Times
Staggering Figures. “An analysis of the total expenditure of the United Kingdom from 1688 to 1920 discloses the amazing fact that for the siv fiscal years, beginning March 31, 1914, and ending March 31, 1920, the expenditure of the Government actually exceeded the total expenditure for the two and a quarter centuries preceding 1914. The exact figures are: for the 226 years, £10,914 million; for tlie six years, £11,268 million.”—From English Public Finance.
