Temporary
expedients,
pending
an
anticipated
general
recovery
of
trade,
were
announced
today
by
Rt.
Hon.
Philip
Snowden,
Chancellor
of
the
Exchequer,
in
his
budtret
speech
as
means
of
bridging
the
ran
of
$186,000,000
between
estimated
expenditure
for
the
lUSl-iJi:
fiscal
year
and

and
an

at
which
certain
brackets

would
yield
another
$50,000,000.
With
these
measures
the
Chancellor
of
the
Exchequer
predicted
a
surplus
of
$470,000.
Mr.
Snowden
said
he
was
firmly
opposed
to
the
imposition
of

tax
and
that
the

of

would
not
