Cheerfulness was the main characteristic of the speech in which Mr. Hugh Dalton placed his, Budget statement before the House of Commons on Tuesday. One of his predecessors in office, Sir John Anderson, it is truc, has defined it otherwise, describ ing it as complacent, but if the! charge was in any way justified, uf expuse for the buoyancy of the Exchequer. The speech con- founded all forecasts by reveal ing expectations of a surplus for the coming year instead of the deficit predicted,, and displayed a strong tendency to regard the budget as what "The Times" called "a putent instrument for guiding the economic life of the nation."
Less than two years! after the end of the Pacific War, Mr. the Budget is balanced.
