London. April 29.-With a deficit of
nearly SSO.OOO,OOO TO provide for, it was
anticipated that David Lloyd-George,
chancellor of the eXchequer. in intro
ducing the budget in the house of COM
mons today would tap springs of rev.
enue. The chancellor, however, had
nothing heroic to propose, and the ad-
ditional expenditures viii be met large
" by increased drafts on the same
sources that have hitherto furnished
the bulk of the revenues.
Every nook and even the gangways
were packed when the chancellor arose
to make his three hours speech.
Mr.. LlOyd-GeOrge paid early atten-
ton to the navy He said that to the
increased expenditure on the navy and
the old age pension the deficit was
largely due. A considerable increase in
naval expenditures was TO be expected
again next year. as in the present state
of mind of Europe it would be stu

provide for such increase.

to do so.
I'VE therefore petition your hon
