BRITISH RELIEF

FRUITS OF BUDGET SURPLUS

London, June 30. To-morrow will bring financial improvement to more than 4,000,- 000, people in Great Britain,, for, In accordance with the decision announced by the Chancellor of Exchequer in his Budget speech, July will mark the end of nearly three years of economy pay cuts,

benefit Unemployment

will be fully restored to the 1931 level, the concession costing the Exchequer over £4,000,000 a year.

At the same time, all servants of the State will receive back half of the pay cuts borno since the 1931 crisia. This will cost the State another £4,000,000 in the full year. Those affected include Ministers of the Crown, Members of Parlia ment, Judges, civil servants, tea- chers, Police, Insurance, doctors and chemists, as well as members of Navy, Army and Air Force..

When the Chancellor announced the concession he said: "Wo can venture to remove a substantial portion of the load we have been that carrying, without fearing prosently we shall have to put it back." He expressed the belief that this relief to such a largo por- tion of the community would It self hasten the process of recovery. Another cheerful pleco of nows is that the odial returns of un- employment during June, although not yet available in detail, are ex- pected to show that approximately another 20,000 people have found work during the month-British Wireless.
