He admitted, however, that the British attitude may preclude American help to Belgium and added "it would tax the English language to describe the conditions in Belgium during the coming winter.

M.P.s Say Budget Is Inadequate

LONDON, Aug. 6 (Reuter),

In the House of Commons to- day, Mr. Pethick Lawrence (Labour) expressed a strong conviction that the country was prepared to continue the war until the menace of Hitlerism was destroyed..

He declared that if the war should go on longer than three years, our financial situation would sull be not impossible to deal

There was nothing to prevent a lowering af interest in long-term Joana to 211⁄2 per cent. The Chan- cellor had power to do it and the people would support him.

Mr. Lawrence sald he was among those who thought that the Chan- cellor could have imposed heavier burdens. Mr. Lawrence suggested that the Treasury Bill rate of interest should be reduced to half or three- quarters instead of one per cent.

Str Jolin Wardlaw Milne (Con- servative) described the budget pro- posals as totally inadequate and de- clared that inflation had already begun and that we must endeavour to reverse the inflation process--to bring About reduction on purchasing power or increase supplies, or both. Sir John, who is Chairman of the Select Conimittee on War Expendi- ture, declared that borrowing would not fill the top between revenue and expenditure and asked if there was to be a forced loan.

He added that if so, the sooner Parliament faced the possibility the better.

Alternatives

He suggested taxation of all earned incomes above a stated minimum and deducted at the source; special atten- tion to those whose earnings had in- creased as the result of the war, the Issue of premium bonds, reduction of the excess prolis tax from 100 per cent, to 00 per cent. and further restrictions on luxury consumption.
