BUDGET FRAMER'S
DIFFICULTIES.
London, Feb. 23, Gloomingly analysing, two years ago, the country's rising expendi- Ticket Nature, a Conservative Minister ex- pressed the opinion that the budget for 1929 might be wangled but he would not like to stand in the shoes of the budget framer in 1930, for revenue had lost its elasticity.

Mr. Snowden, speaking at Hud- dersfield yesterday, described the last budget as fraudulent, adding that when he arrived at the Trea- sury he found the till cashless but full of unpaid bills. There might be a deficiency in his budget and it would take three years to restore national finances to the condition in which he left them in 1924.
