ASQUITH FAVORS
new WAR TAXES
Premier Says Britain Has
Not Gone Far Enough
in Raising Funds.

London, July 22-"Under the present
exceptional circumstances the question
of further taxation on imports needs
serious consideration, and the Govern
ment and the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer will give the matter early at
tention," said Premier Asquith to-day
to bankers and merchants who urged
greater national economy. increased
taxation on imported goods and a tax
on smaller incomes.
The Premier agreed that the country
had not gone far enough in providing
additional resources from taxation for
carrying on the war. For a long while
he had believed that the present in
come tax was very arbitrary and that
it ought to begin at lower scale.
AS TO indirect taxation, Mr.. Asquith
said it was obvious that if credit was
to be maintained and pecuniary re-
sources procured consumption of i'm
ports must be diminished and export
trade maintained on an increased
scale. The question will be dealt with
as a whole and not by piecemeal in the
budget.
