London, Dec. 31.—Britain's outlook
for 1921 is pictured in rather somber
colors by politicians, economists, fi-
nancers and labor leaders. At home
two outstanding problems—unemploy-
ment and Ireland—have baffled the
government while is is also concerned
with a vigorous newspaper' campaign
against so-called Government extrav-
agance.
In the foreign field looking eastward
there are the perplexing problems of
settling the Palestine boundaries, pro-
mising some pointed exchanges of op-
inion with France; Mesopotamia, with
its huge expense and its oil; the ever-
present Persian difficulties, which the
agreement has not allayed; India in
a greater state of unrest than for
years, requiring an exceptionally .large
garrison; Russia with her trade pro-
posals, which have caused a split in
the British cabinet, and the uncertain
Greek situation.
Officials here believe within the
next twelve month important dealings
between Great Britian and the United
States will necessitate a more careful
handling.
Negotiations between the two coun-
tries have been almost dormant since
the political conventions in the Unit-
ed States. There is & desire to clear
up the oil question as to the extent
to which the United Stats shall partic-
inate in the world petroleum supply,
much of which is under British man-
date.
Settlement of the cable control also
offers’ many perplexities, particularly
in that the United States is continually
reaching farther for world trade. Ship-
ping experts and officials are of the
opinion that the new mercantile ma-
rine of the United States Is likely to
bring up a question of adroit diploma-
cy, and point to Secretary Daniels' an-
nouncement of a big naval program as
the forerunner for shipping differen-
ces.
Officials here have not desired to
push these questions to a settlement
until March 4, when the new adminis-
tration takes office.
While the government is being seri-
ously pressed on one side to cease
he helped himself to
$50,000 in bonds, stood ofT the bank
officials when discovered and dashed
through a rear door, shooting Little
Dillard, an officer, in the leg. The ban-
dit took reiuge in a store room where
he was killed by Springfield officers.

Since the war, with government re-
strictions removed, prices of raw pro-

bankruptcy. Most all materials
have declined, but manufactured pro-
ducts have made no such decline as
have farm products. When com-
merce was once more free, the ac-
cumulation of raw materials in coun-
tries cut off from Europe, increased
the supply. This naturally should
have had some effect on prices. It

of lesser importance point towards
greater development tn the future.
Something interesting will be doing
