meinorandum to Mr. MacDonald suggesting steps, whereby Russia's credit in Britain can be restored. The bankers express the oplaion that

public and

•of

private debts recognition should be made, the private property of foreigners should be restored and the sanctity of the private contract should again be established.

Russia should guarantee that private property henceforth will be freed from the danger of con- fiscation.

British bankers," industrialists and traders should be enabled to deal without Government interference with similar private Institutions in

Russia.

The Russian Government "should abandon its propaganda against other countries' institutions.

The memorandum dissipates the view.supposed to be entertained by the Russian Government that upon settlement being reached very large amounts will immediately be available from any source.

The memorandum points out that investors will only supply money where conditions appear safest and full confidence has been again created.

As regards the numerous fields for the invest- ment of permanent capital, the memorandum shows that Britain in the past three years has on an average lent the British Empire £80,000,000 a year. The total available to lend throughout the world last year was £97,000,000.

The memorandum declares that banking credits are bound to remain limited while foreign trade is subject to the Russlan Government's control.

FINANCES' UPSET.

SALT TAX DEFEAT SEQUEL.

(Reuter's General Service.)

LONDON, April 13.

The serious effect of the Assembly's failure to sanction a salt tax of the two rupees is folletred the upsetting of the financial programme of the Provincial Governments concerned.

The Punjab Government, anticipating a reduc tion in its contribution to the Central Government,"

lakhs of fresh only proposed a levy of twenty

taxation,

This is now inadequate and it has therefore been decided to increase the water rate in order to secure seventy-five lakhs annually, but as the spring crop is already sown, the yield this year will be only twenty-five lakhs from the winter crop.

The Punjab Government hope to carry on in the current year with the help of the Government of India. It will have sufficient funds from next

year.
