THE FOG IS LIFTING
"I hope my proposals will be "felt as a very satisfactory begin- ning to a return to better times." said Mr. Neville Chamberlian, as he was entering the House of Communs to deliver his third Budget speech on Wednesday. And so they proved to be, for an- ticipations for the brightest Budget in four years were fulfill- ed. As Mr. Chamberlain said, the atmosphere in which the Budget was introduced was distinctly
brighter than in the last two. years. This improvement may be
attributed almost entirely to the expansion In Home markets. Af- ter a spell of drabness, Great Britain has regained her place as the first exporting country. True, there were certain features about the £31,000,000 surplus that cannot be expected to recur. The export trade was better, but was still not up to the high mark it had attained several years ago." Actually speaking, however, the real surplus last year might be put at £39,000,000 as the Sinking Pund charges were met from the revenue. Looking into the figures of consumption of electricity, transport, iron and steel produc- tion, as well as house-building, one sees a revival in each case. and indications are that prospects for the near future seem distinct- ly encouraging.

and expedient, honestly put for- ward, has employment as its ultimate aim. Great Britain owing to her sound financial policy and sane-minded public, is more than holding her own, In spite of cut-throat competition, tariffs, disarmament problems, and a Europe governed by dicta- tors.
