Britain's Budget Year Reveals A Surplus

Regarded As A Splendid Achievement

London, April 1

The realised surplus of £2.340.702 which was revealed in the nation's accounts for the budget year which ended yesterday is regarded by the press as representing a splendid achievement, par- ticularly in view of the fact that included in the expenditure figure is an amount of £12.466,300 which has been placed to the Sinking Fund. The actual excess of revenue over expenditure other than the expenditure in debt redemption is thus near y £15) millions.

The total expenditure for the year at about £750,000,000 is £18,000,000 over the original estimate, but is nearly £6,000,000 less than the estimate together with the supplementary votes. As the new ordinance is chiefly Receipts from income tax, which in preserving better International directed against goods being trans-is the biggest single item on the relationship.

LUXURY TAXES

Although it can hardly be said that the increased duties on liquor and tobacco, as published in the Government Gazette Extraordinary yesterday, will be welcomed-taxes that are passed on to the consumer never are there should be general satisfaction among trade interests which for long have grappled with the see-sawing local exchange rate. Possibly the only discontents will be the drinkers and smokers, and even they, inured to frequent taxes In their luxuries, will accept the attack on their pocket philoso- phically.
