Other Opinions.
LONDON, April 30. Mr John Redmond and other Irishmen strongly opposed the Budget, particularly the spirit duties.
The House agreed to the spirits, tobacso, and petrol duties by 281 votes to 120. Lobby opinion emphasises that a vast complexity characterises the. introduction of several Budgets in one. The Radicals believe that Mr Lloyd George is under-estimating the revenues, and that it is desirable that the new taxes in the next Budget may show an unexpected surplus.
