MR. MACDONALD'S VIEW
CAPITAL LETT AND TOSY MANNERS. (REOTEB'S TELEGRAM.) (Received 21st January, 10 a.m.) ; LONDON, 20th January. . Mr. Ramsay Macdonald, in an article in "The Socialist Review," says: "We have never believed that a capital levy would cure unemployment. It is nothing more than an expedient for reducing the National Debt and thereby lowering unproductive taxation.".
Referring to Mr. Baldwin's verbally informing Mr. Asquith after the election that^ the Government intended to meet Parliament instead of immediately resigning and sending Mr. Macdonald a similar written instead of a verbal intimation, Mr. Macdonald writes: "Labour is an offence to their senae of the proprieties. They regard us as belonging to the hobnail breed."
