In the Commons Hon. W. Churchill said it was difficult to take a highly controversial view of the budget, seeing Mr Snowden had adopted the whole series of expedients which he himself. liad devised and practised. Th budget was really memorable because the Labour Chancellor despite party pressure in the teeth of doctrines of a litetime declared by action that in the present circumstances, the limits of direct taxation had been reached. He agreed with Mr Chamberlain that a tariff based on the need of revenue must become the means of striking new bargains with foreign countries, which wisely handled, might play an important part in welding together the production and consumption of the Empire, before the present process of dispersal and disintegration reached the final stage.
