New British Budget THE British budget could have been a more bitter pill. Chancellor of the Exchequer Richard Butler, in his first budget, has set out a further dose of au.-terity with a masterly degree of equitability. Reduction of, food subsidies by a substantial J margin will relieve the government's purse with a ' consequent increase in prices having an effect of : curtailing buying. Increase of the tax on cars and ; on gasoline will put more people on to bicycles, on foot or into public conveyances. Putting two million more Britons on income tax exemption and the holding of cigarette and liquor taxes at the present level will have favorable psychological effect. Important anti-inflationary measure is the drastic increase of the interest on bank loans from two-and-one-half per cent to four per cent but; like the new excess profits tax, could have an ill-effect on business and industrial incentive and the making ( of plant improvements in the interests of increased efficiency and production.

Denmark in that same month reported 12.000 cases of the dis- j the Observer and by the independent Liberal Manchester Guardian and the Liberal News Chronicle. The arguments of the Bevan group were first fully advanced last spring in a Tribune pamphlet. Entitled "One Way Only," it received surprisingly harsh treatment. In recent weeks as the rearmament issue . came increasingly to the fore, the Manchester Guardian and the Times warned leaders of the Labor party opposition against the dangers of bowing to the Bevan group as it has often been expressed, "of allowing the tail to wag the clog." Developments this week indicate that compromise is unlikely. Meanwhile the Weekly Observer says in a comment that crystalizes the anti-Bevan case: "Any individual who would stake his life on a wager that there will be no war in, say the next five years, would dearly be a reckless fool. Mr. Bevan asks Britain as a nation to act like such an ease. In that country they do not use the slaughter policy but try to treat the disease by vaccination. Germany had 54,000 cases WO?
