(CP)
Is
J24
($116.64)
a
head
an
excessive'
national
debt
figure
for
Eire?
The
Irish
Commission
on
Banking,
Currency
and
Credit
believes
it
is
and
has
warned
the
government
that
it
would
be
rash
to
look
lightly
upon
causes
tending
to
!p-:rease
it
in
the
future
"Our
considered
view,"
states
the
commission
report,
"is
that
no
Increase,
beyond
the
existing
volume
of
net
deadweight
debt'
should
be
permitted
and
that
that
volume
should
be
reduced
from
year
to
year
at
such
a
rate
as
general
financial
circumstances
permit."
Although
the
Free
State
started
with
a
clean
slate
in
1922,
budget
itificits
arising
out
of
the
Civil
War
in
the
early
days,
brought
the
national
debt
to
10,300,000
($50,-C58.000)
in
1924.
At
March
31,
1937,
the
deadweight
debt
had
grown
to
37,300,000
($181,278,000).
Of
thb
total,
14,500,000
($70,470,000)
is
at
tributed
to
the
cost
of
the
Anglo-!
Irish
tariff
war
which
followed
the
land
annuities
dispute.
The
Banking
Commission
considers
It
would
serve
no
useful
purpose
to
compare
the
debt
burden
in
Eire
with
that
of
the
United
Kingdom
with
its
vast
national
wealth
or
with
that
of
Australia
with
Its
great
natural
resources.
Instead,
it
compares
the
Irish
burden
or
24
Der
head
with
that
of
Denmark
(16),
Norway
(27),
Sweden
(20)
and
draws
attention
to
the
higher1
rates
of
taxation
In
Eire.
The
Eire
government
Is
warned
about
heavy
loan
expenditure
of
an
unoroductive'
character.
This
is
stated
to
have
a
tendency,
while
it
is
being
Incurred,
to
weaken
thej
financial
and
economic
stability
of
the
country
and
especially
to
place,
a
strain
on
the
balance
of
payments.
The
investigation
showed
that
Eire
was
"not
in
a
position
to
take
any
Increased
risk
in
this
matter."
Assets
Increased
Since
presentation
of
the
report,
the
government
has
issued
a
statement
showing
that
as
a
result
of
the
agreement
with
Britain
the
.productive
asscst
of
the
country
have
increased
from
30,000,000
($145,800,000)
in
1937
to
68,000,000
($330,480,000)
in
1938,
bringing
the
dead

down
from

to

LONDON,
September
9.
The
British
government
may
try
new
tactics
to
prevent
war
in
Central
Europe--
a
blunt
plain
approach
to
Germany,
leaving
no
doubt
as
to
what
may
be
expected
should
Hitler
order
troops
into
Czechoslovakia.
What
form
the
warning
would
take
is
a
matter
of
conjecture
but
informed
sources
say
the
whole
purpose
would
be
to
acquaint
Germany
of
the
British'
atti
tude
before
any
military
moves
are
taken.
There
are
indications
that
Prime
Minister
Neville
Chamberlain
does
not
wish
to
repeat
the
policy
of
indecision
which
the
British
ministers
of
the
day
showed
before
the
commencement
of
the
Great
War.
It
was
officially
announced
today
that
Mr.
Chamber
lain
will
receive
Clement
Atlee,
the
leader
of
the
Labor
opposition
tomorrow
and
will
discuss
with
him
the
international
situation
and
the
policy
of
the
government
with
a
view
to
if
possible
getting
unanimity
of
Parliamentary
policy
and
showing
a
united
front
on
the
Lzechoslovakian
situation.
