BRITAIN'S POLICY
V'One might, in regard to what might have been," writes "Scrutator" in the "Sunday Times," "think of Mr Chamberlain, even as he approaches the zenith of his career, as a disappointed man. No one feels more keenly than he the perilous folly of a financial policy at which the spectre of war is forever making hideous grimace. Every nation knows that it is walking along the edge of a precipice, and though we are further from the edge than most, we are the more conscious of the greater danger, because we are financially the most scrupulous, purest and delicately'poised. Spendthrifts may live up to and beyond their income without any qualms; but honest men who live dangerously up to the limit of their income and have no reserves to fall back upon if calamity came are not really happy even on a rising income."
