of

Lord Nuffleld's donation £50,000 for comforts for our troops comes 24 hours after the Air Force Comforts Organisation had issued an appeal for £5,000 to enable them to accept the maker's offer for 1,000 sets for that figure.

Presumably therefore Lord Nüf field's gift will provide 3,000 radio sets for the western front.

In conclusion, I would say that the principle of Income Tax must be sup-ed ported because it is the only fairest form of taxation charged according to the ability of each taxpayer and that such ability to pay is measured by the amount of his net income. It is based on the idea of justice and as the Financial Secretary said, where there is no income there will be no tax. What other fairer and more equitable methods can be introduced than a tax on the faculty of one's income? The wealthier classes have to pay more because they have the power to pay more than the poorer classes and this principle of equality is uncom- parable with any other form of taxes.
