THE BRITISH BUDGET.

FAVORABLY VIEWED

■T CABLB—PREBB ASSOCIATION—COPTRIOHT. LONDON, April 24. Lobby views of the Budget are favorable owing to the absence of contentious new proposals. The Unionists are inclined to think that the receipts are over-estimated, and that the Chan- j cellor is sanguine to the verge of rashness, dangerously relying on the re-v-en ne reaching tip-top results. The Conservative papers accuse the Chancellor of guesswork and juggling with the sinking funds. The Radical papers agree that the Chancellor is optimistic, but the 1909 taxes achieved great success. It was a remarkable record to produce four Budgets in the face of leaping expenditure without new taxation.
