The nation has a huge reserve of foreign investments that could be used, as it was during the War to prevent any violent shocks, but it is possible that a prolonged atop page would render it necessary to suspend export of gold. A mora- torium and a higher Bank Rate are also remote possibilities.
As regards the rational accounts. there is a certain reserve in this year's Budget in the shape of the additional £10,000,000 allowed for debt redemption (860,000,000 in all) and £4,000,000 revenue surplus.. Increased and indirect taxation however, will have to be reckoned with in the event of the strike being unduly prolonged.
