BRITISH DEFENCE TAXATION
CHANCELLOR’S ASSURANCE (Boiriaa omcuL wierlkss.) » RUGBY, April 30. The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Mr Neville Chamberlain), speaking at Bristol, said that the principles behind the new profits tax •wnich. was introduced in the Budget had been generally recognised as .right,* and as his proposals came to be realised it would be seen that they did not impose upon industry a burden* beyond its capacity. Mr Chamberlain indicated that the employment figures for next week would be a pleasant surprise. He ended his speech by welcoming the efforts of the Prime Minister of Belgium (M. Paul van Zeeland) to achieve a lowering of barriers to international trade. This mission, he thought, would meet with a larger, measure of goodwill than would have been possible even a short while ago.
