BRITISH WAR FINANCE
HUGE BUDGET AWAITED ,SEVERITY EXPECTED (Elec. Tel. Copyright— United Press Assn.) (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 9 a.m. RUGBY, Sep'. 24. Parliament will reassemble on Tuesday, and on Wednesday the Chancellor ol' the Exchequer, Sir John Simon, will announce his proposals for financing Britain’s gigantic war effort. It is recognised that it will be exceedingly unpleasant, but it will contain no surprises, for everyone, including business circles, are prepared for the severe measures which are required, and the only concern manifest is that the methods adopted for raising the huge sums which must be raised shall be such as will cause the least dislocation of industry, since even temporary unemployment of resources would cause waste which must be avoided when every ounce of the country’s strength should be available for the struggle.
