SWEDEN'S ECONOMIC DEPRESSION
PERIOD IS NOW SAFELY PASSED
Mustapha Kemiil Pasha and tho Na
tionalist Turks upon their recent vie
tories over the Greeks, and approved
of the establishment, of an Angora
Legion in India. The governments
of France and Italy were thanked
for the aid which they had given'
to Turkey. Appreciation was also
expressed to the King of Afghanistan
for granting equal rights to Hindus, j
in the interest of Hindu-Moslem
unity.
With regard to the anti-Turkish
policy recently displayed by Groat1
Britain, the Khalifat Committee was j
outspoken in its 'condemnation.:
Resolutions passed on this subject |
were as follows:
Pass Resolution
“This meeting of the Central
Khalifat Committee accepts the
challenge thrown by Mr. Lloyd
George, the British Premier, in his
speech at Manchester, to Asia on the
one hand and Islam on the other,
and assures him and other persons
of his way of thinking that so far
as Islam Is concerned, this chal
lenge to the Mtjsletns of the world,
alive to their responsibility, arp
ever ready to meet in every possible
manner.
"This meeting of the Central Khal
ifa1 Committee considers the Brit
ish activities, in their attempts to
Internationalize the Turkish Straits,
as unjust and coercive, and in the
opinion of this committee such in
ternationalization could only be
justifiable in case other powers, es
pecially Britain, internationalize the
sene under their respective influ
ences. and, further, in the opinion of
this meeting, such attempts are de
trimental to the freedom of the
Khalifa of Islam anil the seat of the
Khalifat.”

STOCKHOLM, Jan. 15.—Sweden
expects ai income of $147,000,000 dur-j
ing the budget year 1923-24, of which j
73 per cent will consist of taxes, ac- '|
cording to the report just, published
by the Exchequer. The economic
depression is now past, it is believed
here, and a general financial. Im
provement is accepted as an actual
fact by the government statisticians
In calculating the national revenue
a year and a half in advance.
Among the items which appear on !
the bill of Income for the next ;
budget year is one of 76,000,000 |
kronor, or a.bout $20,000,000, which i
will come from profits of the state’s:
industries or utilities. These include !
the postal service, the state tele-1
graphs, the state railways, the state,!
canals, the state power stations, the;
stat£ mines, the tobacco monopoly, |
and the state lands and real estate i
Taxes on the manufacture, sale and
distribution of liquor and malt will!
bring about $24,000,000 Into the na
tional treasury, and the taxes on
tobacco will yield about half that
sum.,
In connection with the report on
revenue the Exchequer calls atten
tion to the changes in the economic
situation since last year. Thus the
index number for retail prices on
raw materials fell from 177 in 1921
to 149 in 1922. Similarly the index
for manufactured goods fell from
209 to 1S6, while the index for work
men's wages changed from 167-440 to
200-260. This indicates that there
is a steady movement in the direc
tion or pre-war stability.
A study of the Swedish national
Indebtedness made by a leading
Stockholm daily shows that, although
the Swedish national debt per capita
had doubled during the last 10 years,
it is still considerably smaller than
that of Norway and Denmark. The
present figure for Swollen is about
$69, which is a favorable showing!
compared with the rational debt perl
capita of the United States, now
about $208. according to the same
paper.
If it's advertised it’s of TIMELY
INTEREST. That's something to re
member—to your profit.
