Prince Charles of Rumania. it will be remembered,kwas naked by the British Foreign Office to leave England. Like many royal exiles he had "a great effection for our country as the following extract from a Homs paper eloquently sug- grats:-

Prince Charles of Rumania, is. enjoying the delights of English country house life in spring.

His estimated expenditure should be made. in the coming financial year will be £805,185,000, and he expects to have a surplus of £18,741,000. These are stupendous figures. No wonder the level of taxation in this country is higher than in any other country

in the world.

It was with reference to his com panion, Mme. Lopescu, the beauti. ful Jewess of "Jassy. With some heat he said:

"My friendship with More. Lupescu had nothing whatsoever to do with my leaving my country. Any suggestion that this was so is a lie. I bave declared agmin and again that it was a lie. Soon I shall be able to tell the full truth. The time is not yet lipids

The main feature of the Budget is a vast scheme for the relief of local rates on industry and agriculture, which will cost the Exchequer £29,000,000 a year. To provide this the Chancellor is proposing to put

The duty on sugar, will be reduced by one farthing per lh to be passed on to the consumer. This is not much, it is true, but it is a tendency in the right direction towards the cheapening of food. The income-tax allowance for children is increased from £38 to £60 for the first child, and from £27 to £60 for subsequent children. This is hailed as wel come concession to parents, being in fact, the equivalent to a reduc- tion of income-tax for people with families.

I like your shops, your roads, your method of government, which is entirely free from bribery and corruption, and your educational system, which makes boys reat men. One of my greatest wishes is that my "own" boy may be educated in England. M. Jonescu stated that the Prince never officially abdicated or renounced his rights of succession to the throne."
