INDIAN SALT TAX.
VICEROY’S PRONOUNCEMENT.
“ FURTHER DEFICIT DISASTROUS.”
DELHI, March 31
The Viceroy's statement accompanying tho certification of tlio salt tax declares that a recurrence of another deficit, which the rejection of the tax would cause, making the sixth in succession, would be disastrous to India’s financial prestige, and credit, and that the balancing of the budget is of more vital importance than constitutional arguments. Ji ogarding the Viceroy’s dealing with tho outcry against the burdensomeness of the tax, the statement shows that when it was three rupees per maund the tax was borne without causing distress or the agitation that was now directed against the present two and a-half rupees tax.—A. and N.Z. cable.
