SURPLUS IN THE BUDGET
Disposal Not Yet Decided
London, March 10 The Chancellor of the Exche- quer, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, has not yet decided how to dispose of the expected Budget surplus:
This was made clear in his speech at Birmingham, last night, when he warned that there was no wisdom in coming to a final conclusion until it is certain that a surplus existed, and if so, the extent of its size.
He said that the distribution of some part of such a hypo- thetical surplus", was. a weighty problem into which many, con- siderations entered.
He had, at present, not come to any conclusions.
Mr. Chamberlain proceeded to refer to the movement headed by the Archbishop of York for ensuring that the restoration of the cuts in unemploment relief would be given first, considera- tion.
There was nobody who did not share the Archbishop's. sympathy with the unemployed, he said, but when he read the letter which the Archbishop wrote to the press, urging those who agreed with him to write to their members of Parliament, he thought it a pity that the Archbishop should seem to imply that the members requir- ed a reminder for their humani- tartar feelings."

* SALARY CUTS, AND TAX
REDUCTION
London, March 10.. The prospect of a substantial surplus being, realised, at the end of the financial year which closes on March 31 has given rise to much conjecture regarding the proposals of the Budget which will be open- "ed in the House of Commons next month. The restoration of cute made in unemployment benefit and salaries of civil servants and reduction in taxation, imposed. to meet the 1931 crisis are principal obpects to which it is suggested the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Neville Chamberlain · should devote attention.
