CRIPPLING TRADE.
BURDEN OF TAXATION.
Sir Edwin Stock, addressing the Textile Society of Huddersfield recently on Trade and Taxation," said the tar ing of trade was a very easy method of collecting revenue, yes - no policy was more dangerous They must be sure that they were not feeding the dog with his lowo tail. He was not 'upposed to State insurance, but the unemployment dona- Lion undoubtedly threw a heavy burden on industry, and if taxes had to be increased to meet the growth of unem- ployment, frms might be compelled to reduce their operations or to close down, with the result that unemployment would be increased as a direct consequence of the measures taken to rilieve it. Hence | it was the duty of any far-sighted and prudent Government to reduce the burden of taxation to the utmost extent consistent with 'the' sound needs of the country, and with special attention" to efficiency and economy in the public ad. ministration Political parties did not pay sufficient attention to economy."and he wished that the electors, instead of showing so much interest in the votes of
their representatives on matters of often THEATRE minor importance, would ask for details.
as to the extent of the efforts of these representatives in the direction of swell- ing still further an already over-swollen public outlay. They would have some surprises. Taxation should be reduced in order to enable the consuming public to expend the amount thus released from the tax-gatherer in the purchase of goods, thereby increasing the circulation of money, and so enabling manufacturers to help to reduce unemployment. Reduc- tion of our burdens was also necessary to enable us to compete with, countries more favoured in respect of deadweight charges.

It should not be forgotten that the lending of money to Germany and the giving of financial assistance to Busaia would leave leas for economic develop- ment at home. Our capital was not un- limited. "Let us not devote our capital to countries which are uct our best cus- FRIDAY, tomers and have no likelihood of a be coming, since, when we need funds here. both for taxation and for development, they will not be forthcoming, and the last state of our industry will be worse than the first. Above all, I wish to preach the utmost caution in the employ- ment of the funds' we have. Outlay on Government schemes of money raised by taxation is too often unproductive-taxa- tion may cripple, does cripple, the menus of continuing and increasing employ. mens. Large spending and borrowing by Governments lead, temporarily to active trade, but a country which pursues such a policy must the long run pay for this stimulation of its industries by the depreciation of its currency and by the heavy taxation which is necessary to meet the interest on the loan” »

RUBBER'S RISING PRICE.
"The rubber market is very hot and almost anything may happen." This was the view expressed by a leading gure in the industry in London, last mooth, when asked if he thought there was any hope of the price rising to is ed. "Take one fact," he added, consider it in all its bearings. At the beginning of 1993 there was 100,000 tons more uf physical rubber in the world, beld by someone, than there is "to-day.. In January, 1923, under the pressure of speculation and American buying, the price was rushed up to over 18 d. per Ib. What was possible then seems more than possible now with 100,000 tons Jess in the world."
