TAX BURDENS.

TRADERS' APPEAL TO MR. CHURCHILL.

Mr. Churchill, Chancellor of the Ex. chequer, received at the Treasury re cently a deputation from the Association of British Chambers of Commerce on the need for a reduction in income tax in the interests of industry. The deputation also urged a return to the penny post.

Mr. Stanley Machin, president of the association, in the course of his speech said:-

The present depressed state of trade, high cost of living, and the deplorable state of unemployment are largely due "to_the"excessive taxation.

When we see other nations taxed to

Jess than half the extent that we are, with no unemployment, competing with increased success in our home markets, and yet, as it seeds to us, not fully appreciating the responsibility of their indebtedness to their Allies, we con- sider we have just cause to complain.

Further curtailment of expenditure is absolutely essential. We cannot con- tinue to live beyond our income.

Sir James Martin, vice-président of the London Chamber of Commerce, in his address said
