WHAT TO DO WITH IT?
TELLING MR. CHAMBERLAIN
A TACTFUL EESPOXSE
(British OBJclal Wireless.) RUGBY, March 11. . The prospect of a substantial surplus being realised at the cud of the financial year which closes on March 31 has given rise to much conjecture regarding the proposals of the Budget for nest year, which will be opened in the House of Commons next month. . The restoration of the cuts made inunemployment benefit, and in the salaries of civil servants and a reduction on the taxation imposed to meet the 193.1 crisis are the principal objects to which, it is suggested, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. .Neville Chamberlain, should devote his attention. In a speech last night at Birmingham, Mr. Chamberlain referred to the subject, remarking that any prudent occupant pf his office must give careful consideration to the various objects which might present themselves for the distribution of some part of such hypothetical surplus in. the way best fitted to advance the interests of. the country, with due regard to conflicting claims and to the relief of various classes in the community. The problem, in all, was a weighty and complicated one into which many considerations, some of which were not yet even known to him, entered^ and he had not up to the present come to any conclusions.
