The article presents information related to social and political issues of the world. No tax on food has long been a slogan of British housewives and as most British women now have a vote they may be expected to resent at polls any attempt to give the tax-gatherer access to their kitchens. The question is not so easy, however, now that protection sentiment is running strongly among British Conservatives and spreading dissension in the Labor Party. The U.S. Foreign Trade fell to the lowest point in nearly ten years during July. Exports amounted to only $269,000,000 and imports to $219,000,000, a decline in each case of about 30 per cent from 1929. There was an outflow of $42,500,000 in gold during the month, against an inflow of nearly $35,000,000 in July of last year.
