in political circles in anticipation | of the expected decision of the Government to summon Parlia. ment after the Cabinet meeting on August 19, in order to pass legisintion embodying the Govern- ment's proposals,

Various theories continue to be advanced as regards the Govern- ment's precise measures, but there sooms a general agreement that a special levy on all kinds of in- terest-bearing securities is at least receiving serious consideration.

Momentous Cabinet Meeting,

The Prime Minister returned to London from Lossiemouth this morning, and immediately resumed considerat ton of the economy problem. Decisions of far-reach- ing importance; will await the sanction of the Cabinet on Wednes-!

day

The Cabinet will be guided in: Its decisions by recommendations of its special economy committee, which under the chairmanship of the Prime Minister will hold fur ther meetings this afternoon and

to-morrow.

It is generally assumed that Its committee's proposals will readily: be endorsed by the Cabinet. The Co-operation of the three political parlles is regarded as essential to the Auccess of any scheme of re- ductions in State expenditure and the raising of new revenue that may be necessary, and the leaders of the opposition parties, who have! already been informed of the ciri! cumstances in which the emer- gency has arisen, will probably meet the Ministers on Thursday to learn the scope of the proposals, Co-operation Expected.
