TAXATION MILLSTONE
“NATION IN PAWN” LABOUR AND INDUSTRY By Cable.—Press Association. — Copyright. LONDON, Thursday. A proposal for a surtax on incomes over £SOO was adopted by a large majority at the conference of the Labour Party in Blackpool. Mr. E. Bevin said: “Many of the difficulties of the trades union leaders are due to the millstone of taxation on the neck of industry. You talk as ‘high-falutin’ as you like when works a„*e closing down and work is going to other countries, but for God’s sake do something to save industry, work and wages. “Have a surtax or capital levy, but unless you tackle the credit system itself you won’t get rid of the tremendous debt hanging on industry. There must be one great national effort to get out of pawn.”—A. and N.Z.
