are
Sir Kingsley Wood's 1941-42 war budget, so grimly realistic, yet revealing once again the as- tonishing elasticity of Britain's finances, is sufficient to turn Hitler green with envy, should that smug, self-complacent man bother to study the figures. The essential features
that Britain is not only going to the fullest lengths possible to pay for the war as it progresses, but is also providing for the impor- tant post-war period when a nation's resources are usually at its lowest ebb. Under the 1941 42 budget, Britain is to start building a sinking fund which is to guarantee her economic and social security when the days of peace are here again.
