The largest single Item of the deficit is for subsidized foodstuffs bought outside the country, this alone amounting to 83,000,000,000 crowns. The railways have been run at a loss of 28,000,000,000. Another serious Item of los3 has been on foreign exchange, the govern- . ment being forced to sell crowns for . foreign values for payments of flour, fats and various 'other commodities under the food subsidy plan. During the past few months the fall of the crown against standard values has been unchecked and its purchasing value has about reached the vanishing point. Largest National Note.

important financial transaction between the United States and Queensland, according to the opinion expressed today in well-informed circles here.
It was oointed out that Premier
Theodore of Queensland contemplates a trio to America soon to raise an additional loan, primarily for the acquisition of the Brisbane tramways and the establishment of state steel and iron works at Bowen. Although it is believed that the loan could be obtained in America at the interest rate of the recent loan, it is considered doubtful whether Premier Theodore, despite the need of his government for financial aid, would be prepared to pay the seven per cent rate of the former obligation. Very little of the $12,000,000 loan will be available for expenditure in Queensland when London commitments have been met, it was said.

IRISH NEWSPAPERS DISCUSSING EFFECT OF PUBLIC ON PACT
(By Associate.! Press) DUBLIN, Jan. 2. The question of outstanding interest in the Irish situation discussed by the Dublin newspapers this morning is the effect the expressions of public sentiment in favor of ratification of the Anglo-Irish treaty will have on their opponents in the Dail Eireann.

The Independent expresses the utmost confidence that the opponents of the treaty in the dail will heed the popular voice, but a political writer in the Irish Times says there is no ground for the belief that when the dail meets tomorrow "it will be any better disposed toward ratification." The Times writer calls attention to the fact that the opponents of the agreement are continuing their in
scrutable silence and declares tne uaii leaders themselves do not know what the outcome will be. Want National Unity At the week end meetings of public organizations and Sinn Fein clubs strong appeals were made for the

The newspapers welcome the new year's message of Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier, the Freeman's Journal saying that if his appeal meets with the response it deserves peace will not be long delayed. - - 'The tiniest spark of good feeling shown by the six counties," it adds, "would kindle bonfires throughout Ireland."
