IMPERIAL POLITICS.
PROPOSED CAPITAL LEVY. NO CURE FOR UNEMPLOYMENT. NICE SENSE OF PROPRIETIES. (Australian and N.Z. CaMe Assn.) Reooivcd January 21, 11.30 a.m. LONDON, January 20. Mr Ramsay Mao Donald, in an article in the Socialist Review, says: "We never believed that a capital levy would cure unemployment; it is nothing- more than an expedient for reducing the national debt, thereby lowering unproductive taxation. Referring to Mr Baldwin verbally informing Mr Asquith after the election that the Govrnment intended to meet Parliament instead of immediately resigning- and sending Mr Mao Donald a similar written message, instead of a verbal intimation, Mr Mao Donald writes: "This is a nice sense of proprieties; they regard us as belonging to the hobnail breed."
