BRITISH BUDGET
THE PROPHETS BUSY Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, April 24. The ‘Daily Telegraph’s’ parliamentary correspondent forecasts that the Budget will include import duties on luxury articles, and practically a revival ot the M'Kenna duties, which produced £5,000,000 annually. It is confidently expected that Mr Churchill will announce that the Act prohibiting the export of gold, which expires at the end of the year, will not be renewed; and he may indicate a date on which it is proposed that Britain will revert to the gold standard, which, as Air M'Kenna pointed out recently, does not mean that gold sovereigns will again be put into circulation. —A. and N.Z. Cable.
