The capital levy has been drop- ped out of the practical politics of the Labour Party, the conference at Blackpool overwhelmingly adopting a proposal for a special surtax on unearned incomes of over 2500 per annum, and rejecting an Indepen- dent Labour Party amendment de manding that the whole proceeds of fidence. the surtax be devoted to social services.

It is estimated that the sortax, which would be a graduated tax averaging two shillings in the pound, would yield £85,000,000 annaally. It would be devoted to replacing taxes on pecessaries and developing social services, and to reducing debt.
