Budget Day: Britons Expect Good News
London, Apr. 13.
Mr R. A. Butler, the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, today told Queen Elizabeth the secrets of the Budget he will present to the Nation tomorrow. He drove to Windsor Castle, outside London, where the Queen is living, to make her the only woman in the land to know whether he intends to increase or lighten the load of taxpayers.
Then he returned to London to outline his plans to a meeting of the Cabinet.
All signs and predictions tonight were that Mr Butler's second budget since he took office will bring good news to Britons, who for years have been among the most heavily taxed people in the world.
