BALANCE OF PAYMENTS
Ee H AS anyone got any questions?" The speaker invited at last. And most of the audience stifled a yawn And felt that their bedtime was past. Till one of them rose and demanded In a manner as friendly as ice, "I'd like you to tell us what’s all this we hear About paying our income tax twice." The candidate knew all the answers; He hadn't been born yesterday. And he shouted without hesitation, "Well, let us look at it this wayIf ever you've had to move baggage, Perhaps you have noticed, my son, That carrying two heavy cases
Is actually easier than one."
