London, May 19. "After a careful examination of the national expenditure I have come to the conclusion that to make the substantial reductions neces- sary in order to give the taxpayer a real and effective relief would in- volve changes in national policy far exceeding anything yet con- templated," stated Mr. Neville Chamberlain in the course of a speech at a din- ner of the Brit- Ish Bankers' As- Rociation in Lou- don this ing.
