shown on a whole the nations balance sheet for the financial year was greeted with something like a sigh of relief increased expenditure for armaments brought a budget deficit for the first time in four years but this deficit of 5597000 was more than twice offset by 13127000 used for debt redemption on bal ance therefore there is a surplus of 7530000 37650000 in or dinary revenue over ordinary ex penditure it is estimated that to balance tho public accounts for the coming year chamberlain will have to raise an additional 30000000 in revenue this at the present rate of trade ex pansion could largely be met from increasing taxation revenues additional estimates but there may still be supplemen tary arms estimates to be brought down it is assumed therefore that chamberlain will not be rlliing to take the risk of atteinj ug io bal ance the budget on the present bas is of taxation the times editorially describes the 7530000 surplus as a magnifi cent achievement in a year when rev enue had to bear the full cost of the first full year of intensive rearma ment and continued expansion of the social services without the aid of borrowing but jt must not be thought that because the immediate prospect is re assuring the times adds that lat er any definite prospect of absorb ing one quarter of the national in come in taxation should be regarded with complacency false fever effects
