BRITISH BUDGET
OPPOSITION TO TAXATION PROPOSALS CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE CHANCELLOR By Telegraph-Press Asnocktion-Copyrisht London, July 4. A concerted campaign of the Northcliffe newspapers and business organisations to secure the resignation of Mr. Austen Chamberlain, Chancellor of the Exchequer', on the ground that the. Budget tnxntion proposals, especially the increase in the excess profits duty, will cripple the revival of industry, culminated an the eve of the resumption of the House of Commons debate on the Finance Bill. A definite announcement was made in several newspapers that Mr. Chamberlain had resigned, and that Sir Worthmgroii Evans was succeeding him. Mr. Chamberlain has authorised a denial of the announcement.
The "Central News" authority states that the Cabinet is supporting Mr. Chamberlain's uncompromising attitude on the Budget taxation proposals, and there will be jio_ important concessions. If the House of Commons meets the proposals of the Finance Bill, the political consequences will be far more serious thai the removal of Mr. Chamberlain; tlio Cabinet will stand or fall by him.— Aus.-N.Z, Cable Assn.
