LABOUR ATTACK
+ CONDEMNATION OF BRITISH BUDGET ANOTHER VIEW EXPRESSED BY LIBERAL LEADER. APPROVAL OF DEFENCE EXPENDITURE. (British Official Wireless.) (Reed This Day, 12.15 p.m.) RUGBY, April 27. The debate on the Budget was opened for Labour by Mr F. W. Pethick Lawrence, who thought it, as a peacetime Budget, not merely depressing, but deplorable. It placed burdens bn every section of the community by adding to taxation and tying up posterity with increasing burdens of debt. The Government was asking for unity and sacrifices. For a policy which would secure the world against war, the Labour Party and the whole country would face great sacrifices, but the Opposition could see no evidence that the policy of the Government was one to command the united sentiment of the nation. Sir Archibald Sinclair, for the Liberals, described the Budget as austere and honest. There was no doubt Parliament would pass the defence expenditure, because all parties were convinced of the necessity for rearmament.
