COMMENT OF THE DAY
New Burdens For Britons
THE Chancellor of the Exchequer's THE
memorandum outlining Britain's future economic prospects promises a grim and unpopular Budget for next Tuesday. None of the huge surplus can be used to bring about tax relief; on the contrary, heavier demands must be made on the public purse to help finance rearmament and stockpiling. Of the greater concern, however, is warning that the British people must suffer reduced living standarde--that they will have to pay more and receive less. This
revelation unpleasant
blow to inevitably means a. serious morale, already fairly low, and will bring additional unpopularity to a Government which has fast been losing the confidence of the people. It must be conceded, however, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer and his colleagues are squaring up to realities. The defence and security of Western Europe is at stake and Britain, naturally and rightly, has substantial commitments towards the strengthening of those defences. Nor do the British people desire to avoid their responsibilities. This being accepted, it becomes the government's duty to decide what policy shall govern the financing of the rearmament programme. Mr Attlee's Cabinet is of the opinion that as much
possible shall be paid for im- mediately, thus avoiding thrusting an impossiblo burden on future generations, Moreover, the British Government belleves that by no doing it can prevent or at least curb ruinous inflation. One- effect of this policy is to deny the public, 'still further, a variety of every- day commodities, which automatically reducos Hving standards. The Govern ment's problem will be to, cushion the effect of these shortages to cause the Icast possible discomfort and inconve

nience. But while the public will prob-
ubly accept commodities scarcity with customary coolness, the rank and file are bound to react sharply to any substantial increase in prices. The Government expects the trade unions to refrain from agitating for wage hikes, but if the purchasing power of the Pound continues to decline, these demands are certain to be made. The relation of wages and profits to increased production requirements must inevitably become a preoccupation for trade union representatives, and is something to which they expect the Government to devote considerable, as well as sympathetic,, attention. The demand for sacrifices can be loyally met up to a point, but the workers will be quick to appreciate a situation which indicates they are being asked to carry too heavy a share of the burdens. Greater production is the vital essence of the Government's programme for the next three years; production 'not only of armaments for defence, but of hard currency earning commodities. This calls for a delicate balance in the dis tribution of raw materials as well as a careful allocation of priorities. This will probably prove to be the severest test of official organising for a government which has made a fetish of planning, But in the final analysis the success of the government's policies and pro- grammos rests upon the co-operation |. of the manufacturers and workers, and it is the government's responsibility to satisfy them that neither are being made to suffer unnecessary sacrifices and that the economy of the country
