No Income Tax For 3 Years, Here are some of the personal experiences, given me.

tendency in Japanese industry to depend on the Government for development. Not that industry had attained a stage where no Govertinent help was needed. Indeed, industrial en terprises peculiar to Japas and at a fair stage of development must be maintained and improved by the joint efforts of government and pri- vate capital. This was the position taken by the Government that had been succeeded by the Seiyukai Ministry.

A farmer who in 1819-1920 paid £500 in income-tax and who has kept his books carefully has paid no tax for three years owing to his losses, and he states that whatever may happen he will pay no tax for the next two years.

Joslin, of Stoke Talmage, Thame, said: Kenseikai Government embodied There are plenty of people the traditional policy of protection, around me who bought cattle last The present Ministry would uphold May for £18 to £22 a head and it and was ready to go to the root sold them at the end of the graz-of the matter.

I suggest that all imported footstuffs should be allowed to come in free, that the Govern nent should take the lot and standardise the price, this price to be based on the costs of home production of the same articles. Another farmer, 70 years of age, told me he has lost an average of £2,000 a year in the last four years. He is one of a great number who have given natier to end their tenancies of Oxfordshire farms.

Many Unlat Farms.

A member of firm who andit a large number of the farm accounts. i tais shire as well as manage states said that the whole of the accounts with a few exceptions. show a lose on last year and a fur ther depreciation of capital. In one ease the loss has averaged about 2,000 per annum since 1920. He said:

Even the grass farmers who employ least labour have lost in each of the last two years but the arable farmers, who employ most labour, have suffered most, and their outlook is dark in the There is an abnormal extreme. number of farm tenancies expir- ing, and an unusual feature is the number of unlet farias.

The farmers of Oxfordshire are particularly enlightened and in- dustrious class of men, but the majority of them to-day are living on their capital and struggling against forces over which they have no control.

£20,000 Owing,

A member of an Oxfordshire. firm of agricultural engineers said that he has £20,000 on his books owing

by farmers who cannot pay.

A member of a firm of fertili ser manufacturers states that he has a pile of orders which he cannot fulfil because the farmers have not paid their last accounts. Ia ad- dition, there are numerous orders from new customers of whom bo
