MR. W. GRAHAM ON THE TAX- PAYERS' LIABILITIES.

Mr. William Grabani, M.P., Financial Secretary to the Treasury, in the late Labour Government, in an address to the Edinburgh Fabian Society, recently. dealt with the financial aspects of certain schemes for providing employment. Alluding to export credits, he said that proposals were under consideration which were designed to encourage the guar antre of mercantila bills and to facilitate exports A large part of the slow pro gress of such export credits was due to the collapse of oversea markets for econonlic reasons, such as dislocated ex- chances, which were very much wider than any export scheme.

Parliament had sanctioned up so ££5,000,000 for the guarantee of principal and interest on money raised to cover capital expenditure on trade facilition such as would provide employment in Great Britain. Of that total about £49,000,000 had been guaranteed, but he admitted that lately there had been some stagnation, sad further guarantees had not proceeded so rapidly as they had hoped.

WEATHER KEPORT.

The reasons were simple. Compared with the time when the scheme was intro- duced some years ago money rates in the ordinary market were much easier. Prob- ably most sound schemes in Great Britain to-day could raise money without the as- sistance of a Government guarantee. It! was then suggested that the Government, in order to stimulate employment, should be prepared to face greater risks in guaranteeing others. But there were do- finite limits to that suggestion. After

Large numbers of the schemes suggested were

security, and it was plain that what the promoters wanted was not a guarantee for employment-producing capital ex penditure, but advances or guarantees for working capital. He did not think any Government would be prepared to face a departure of that. kind. Again, they must remember that when the whole of the £65,000,000 was covered that was a contingent liability for the British Ex chequer and tax-payer. with an obvious effect on our general credit,

At the same time he agreed, especially as a means of providing employment, that there was ground for considering whether it might not be better to guar- antee certain undertakings hitherto re fused, or likely to be refused, because the security was not fully adequate. rather than continue to pay probably much larger sums in unemploy

ent benefit, for which, of course, there was no capital asset of any kind to show. But each case had to be considered on ita merits. In this department, of what be called the

The failure is reported in Mésers.

The success. At any rate, they sold heavily handsome young director, who was form- short for forward delivery at prices which are 3d. to 4. per lb. below those now ruling. The buyers were principally the Singapore buying agents of various American manufacturers. The sellers having failed, the rubber contracted for will not now be delivered, so that the buyers find themselves compelled to pay present prices to fill their requirements Most of the sales were for delivery from September to the end of the year, but some contracts were made as far ahead January-March, 1955. The quantities involved in failures so far reported total about. 2,500 tons. It is not certain, how ever, whether further trouble on the same lines may sot develop, as several more Chinese dealers are supposed to be fairly heavily short.
