BRITAIN'S BUDGETARY position was the subject

of an extremely important statement in the House of Commons yesterday afternoon, during the debate on the second reading of the Consolidated Fund Appro- priation Bill. Mr. Philip Snowden said that the outlook for 1932 was very serious and unless there were very considerable economies, disagreeable steps might have to be taken to enable him to effect a balance.

Mr. Snowden.

Chancellor of the Exchequer contended that Britain's position was better than any other great country, with one possible exception, while London remained the beat market in the world for investment. He further dis- closed that he has completed his plans for a huge scale conversion of the Five Per Cent. War Loan. It would be launched very soon. It would have been launched before now but for recent financial developments.
