WAR’S AFTERMATH.

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. London, Oct. 20. Wednesday’s re-assembly of Parliament focuses attention upon the deplorable financial outlook, the first sis months of the financial year showing a deficit exceeding 312 millions. The Government will be bombarded with questions relating to retrenchment. A vast number have already been tabled. Mr Chamberlain’s reply to several questions, asking whether he intends to introduce a supplementary Budget, is awaited with keen interest, particularly in view of strong business and trading objections to such a course of action. It is understood Mr Lloyd George will readily respond to a demand of debate the whole question to economy, and also that he intends to promise a speedy return to a constitutional system of Cabinet control of expenditure.
