"We dare not for their sake, dare not for our sake, hold back the full measure of support, which they ought to have from us and there is a surer method than that of taxation carried for enabling what is to be through."
LABOUR RESOURCES He criticised failure of Government yet to obtain the full employment of the nation's labour resources and in sisted on the necessity of observing equality of sacrifice between all classes.
He reserved the attitude of
the Labour Party to the proposed Sales Tax until the Government's inten- that tions are clearer but indicated
it would be opposed if it proved an aggravation of the tendency he had already perceived to unequal distri- bution of taxes. He agreed that the direct taxation imposed in Septem- reasonable ber was as high as was but as the war went on the habits of of life and the whole structure society would tend to change and the time would come when more drastic taxes would have to be imposed.

WHAT WE FIGHT FOR

SWEDEN ISSUES BIG DEFENCE LOAN
Mr. Graham White, for the Liberals, expressed doubts if the expenditure the of £2,667,000,000 estimated by Chancellor was sufficiently high.
The Allies had an overwhelming provided superiority over Germany
their resources as they mobilised rapidly as possible. The country would not be satisfied till that was done. He feared the Budget was not realistic- and did not take sufficient accounting a 500,000,000 kroner (about £30,- of the fact that they were. waging a000,000) defence loan: bearing interest at 4 per cent. and redeemable in five totalitarian war.
