COMMENTS OF GERMANS.
How Editors View the British Money
Raising Scheme.

BERLIN, April 19.-The budget of Sir
Michael Hicks Beach attracts immense
attention in Germany. THE sugar taxes
are particularly interesting to Germany"
says the National Zeitung. but the sugar
plan of Sir Hicks Beach seems TO be a
pure finance measure without a protective
dodge involved"
The Vossische Zeitung. which severely
criticises England's newest budget, says:
1T is a 1alpable proof of how ruinous
the South African war has proved The
most astonishing step the British govern
ment has taken is the export duty on coal,
which surely will hit England hard"
The Boersen Courier says: These new
tax and revenue measures mean a wide de-
parture from the commercial principles
hitherto followed in England. In them
selves they contain the sharpest condem-
nation of the imperialistic policy
The Berliner Neueste Nachrichten says:
Now apparently has arrived the psyco-
logical moment when the English people
must decide whether to continue the old
South African course or act upon the ripper
judgment that the South African business
is based wholly upon erroneous supposi-
