~ Sir Donald Mac
Lean,
M. P.,
in a speech
last night
to his
constituents,
said that England’s present
financial position is most appalling.
The
deficit for the six
months
of the present
fiscal
year,
he
said,
is
281,000,000
pounds,
exeeeding
by 50,000,000
pounds
the deficit for the whole
yea:
as estima-
ted by the
Chancellor of tL.e Exchequer.
The latter,
Sir Donald
added,
would
have
to borrow
300,000,000
pounds
to
bal
nce
his accounts,
and
this situation,
he continued,
is serious
enough
to
war-
rant an ad interim budget.

In

broken

Bolshevik
according
to reports
and is pursuing
the
enemy
toward Oniega,
a village about
153
miles
west of Arcaangel.
Further
to the
south
it has
forced
its way
down
along
the
Dvina
river.
Polish
