AUSTRALIA'S BUDGET

TARIFF BANS TO BE ABOLISHED

were

Canberra, Sept. 1. Drustic expenditure cuts,

no new taxation, proposed by Mr. J. A. Lyons, Prime Minister of Australia. when he presented a balanced budget to the House of Repre sentatives to-day.

Mr. Lyons estimates n £12,000 surplus.

The estimated surplus did not include the service war debt to Great Britain, declared Mr. Lyons. If this were included, the surplus would be turned into a deficit of £4,900,000.

Mr. Lyone catiroated to include! savings of £1,479,000, of which £1.100.000 would be made from cuts in pensions and £245,000 18 & result of a reduction in Parlia mentary allowances and civil ser- vice salaries. The gold bonus, in addition, would be suspended as from September 30.

The total estimated expendi- ture. was £67,288,000, which is £2,038,000 less than last year.

No new taxation would be in- posed.

On behalf of the Hongkong Nudist Society, which is now hold- ing regular weekly Sunday outings to its reserved Recreation Grounds in the New Territories, privately placed at its disposal, I beg to state that the Members of the Hongkong Nudist Society have nothing in common with that fanatical Sect of Dukhobors, first of all because the Local Nudlats enjoy their Sun- Water- and Air- Bathing and Re- creation in the Nude only in special reserved Recreation Grounds away from the public, and enjoy the pros fection of the local Law, as simple Recreation in the Nude, even by both sexes simultaneously. but The hand was "played con-away from the Public, is not tracl and South, the dealer, hold-against the Law.
