£10,000,000 SURPLUS?

British Treasury Surprised by Death Duty Windfalls

NO INGREASE IN TAXATION

INQUIRY FOR CHEAPER

WHISKY

DRITAIN IS HEADING FOR A £10,000,000 BUDGET SURPLUS.

THE BALANCE-SHEET IS ALREADY £5,000,000 BETTER THAN IT WAS A YEAR AGO.

Of this amount, income-tax payers have contributed nearly £3,000,000 more than a year ago, and there are still six weeks to the end of the financial year.

Only another £10,000,000 a week is required from income- tax payers between now and the end of the month to help the Chancellor reach his estimates.

But income-tax will doubtless yield more than that. £15,000,000 a week was being paid by income-tax payers a few weeks ago.

Treasury oficials have been surprised at the huge amounts that are coming in from death duties.

Theso have already yielded over £6,098,000 more than a year ago.

There are two main reasons for this.

Rise in Values One is that the value of land and securities has risen with the Industrial revival,

The other is that the middle. class population is growing.

The number of people who now leave enough money to render their esinter Hlable to Duties is twice as many as be- fore the war.

Revenue from Customs Duties is nearly £10,000,000 more than a year ago.

Excise Duties have yielded £1,700,000 more than a year ago. Expenditure is growing, ton, Tax Reduction

The extra payments to the un- employed and emergency spending on the reorganisation of the de- fence system has involved an increase of £17,000,000 on the expenditure side of the Budget.

But revenue is up by well over £22,000,000, so that no In- crense in taxation need he feared.

On the other hand, reductions of taxation are possible.

In any case, income-tax payers will pay leas under the new Bud- get.

This is under a concession which was passed in last year's Budget, but only сотен into operation this year.

The Chancellor has caused the Treasury officials to investigate the whisky-tax-in-order to see if a reduction would lead to Increased sales.

An inquiry is also being made to see if a further reduction of: tax on the cheaper cinema seats is possible.

Heart Diseases Are Bogies

Vienna, Mar. 24.

If you feel a pain in your heart, don't worry; there is nothing the matter with your central organ, says Professor K. F. Wenckebach of the Vienna University, Aus- tria's foremost authority on heart diseases.

This prominent specialist in at lecture on patients suffering from non-existent heart diseases" main- tained that, as a rule, cardiac diseases are not felt at the heart; but in distant organs.

If a patient clutches his heart. in great pain, the experienced doc- tor knows at once that it is nothing serious, but merely nervous troubic, according to Wenckebach.-United Prese.

BRITAIN WARNS OFF ARGENTINA

FALKLAND ISLDS.

Mr. Anthony Eden, British Foreign Secretary, has disclosed that Great Britain still considera the Falkland Islands off the American continent as British territory.

In a written answer to a House of Commons question recently, he said that Great Britain had warned Argentina that the issuance of post- age stamps showing the islands to be Argentina's property "can only be detrimental to the good relations of the two countries."

Mr. Eden was asked by Lord Apsies whether Great Britain had taken any steps to object to the stamps and "Whether any inter- national convention exists to pre- vent the issue of misleading stamps of this kind,"

Mr. Eden answered: "In so, far AB the issue by the Argentine Government of the stampa in ques tion is, based on an assertion of an Argentine claim to the Falkland Islands I welcome the opportunity of stating that His Majesty's Government cannot admit any such claim to the islands, which are British territory.

"The Argentine Government al ready is well aware of the views of His Majesty's Government on the subject, but His Majesty's ambas sador in Buenos Aires has been In- structed once more to draw the at- tention of the Argentine Govern- ment to the fact that no useful pur- pose can be served by the issue of the stamps in question, which can only be detrimental to the good relations of the two countries.

"The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative."
