BUDGET GENERALLY PRAISED
LONDON, 30th April.' While the papers all find blemishes, according- to their political views, nevertheless all have words of praise for both Mr. Snowden and the Budget.

One sees no positive programme for the;, absorption of unemployed, or a real easing of the post-war burdens."
The '"Daily Telegraph's" Parliamentary correspondent asks: "Does the Budget mean an early General Election?" He adds: "Members have made up their minds the Government is dressing the shop window, and if seriously challenged may take the plunge at no distant date " The "Daily Herald" frankly says: Mr. Snowden saw danger in any provocative- proposals.
