THE BRITISH BUDGET
ATTITUDE OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS. '■NOT OBLIGED TO SWALLOW IT." By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyrigh Received 18, 5 p.m. London July 17. Th'e Marquis of Lansdowne, speaking at the Conservative Association banquet, declared that while he maintained an attitude of reserve regarding the fate of the Budget, remarked that the Lords were unlikely to proclaim that they had no responsibility regarding the Finance Bill and that they were obliged to swallow it without mincing. Apart from text-book authorities, and looking at the question from a common-sense standpoint, it was unthinkable that where there were two Legislative Chambers it should <bc left absoultely to the discretion of one of tliem to impose burdens however monstrous, taxation however inequitable, and a new financial system however subversive of society. The Lords were obliged to consider the question with an open mind, undeterred by threats and vaporing*'.
