the government by Lord B~uckmaster,
who introduced a resolution calling at

for the imposition of additional taxes.
II depreeate panieky views which are
prevalent regarding the country's fl

whose statements were considered as
the government view of the situation.
The position, though grave, is far less
serious than that in any other great
country with the possible exception of
the United States and Japan. 1t GER
tainly does not justify any rash changes
in the fiscal system and no proof has
been given that additional taxation. is
necessary. Nothing should be done
