SHAW'S PROTEST LONDON, January 31. • Mr Bernard Shaw, in a letter to ' The Times ' protesting against the onerous burden of tixation, said: " I have just been endowed for life with the income from a property valued at £150,000. The net result is that I have, to pay £40,000, as well as the income rrom the estate, to Sir John Anderson. My haunting dread is that some of my admirers, by dying and leaving me a iiillion or so, may consign me to the alns house. lam very far from being a -nfllionaire, but since 1939 I have hai to give the Exchequer £20,000 annually to pay for a war which would net have occurred if my advice had been taken in 1939."-
