LEAGUE EXPENDITURE
CAUSING CONCERN. ‘T am interested to observe that Great Britain has raised the auestion of tho League of Nations expenditure,” said the Commonwealth Attorney-Gen-eral, Mr Latham, in a statement in London. He points out that the matter is causing concern in Australia. The exliange added to the depreciation in sterling meant that Australia, in order to provide some £35,000 in gold annually, had to provide £43,000 English, or about £55,000 Australian. All Governments and practically all individuals’ had been forced to economise in recent years, and ho had little doubt that those interested in the League would recognise the desirability, in order to,, maintain and promote its influence, of exercising every economy that tho changed circumstances of the world rendered reasonable.
