have moved.
The attitude eft the nation in the crisis has
demonstrated the fundamentally sound judg

universally condemned. Its guerrilla character,
the obvious motives of those inspired il,
were promptly held offensive to every tenet

AMERICANS IN ENGLAND HARD
HIT BY DOUBLED INCOME TAX

In regard to trade income arising
abroad, there is to be no change In
the present law, which renders British
resident persons or companies liable
to be assessed on the whole Of their
trading profits, irrespective Of any
portion arising abroad. and in the
case Of companies irrespective Of the
nationality or residence OF the share
holders.
A new field Of taxation is opened UP
by the proposal to levy tax on casual
profits" on any profit transaction
recognizable as a business transac-
ton, and on the true remuneration Of
employment. including any subsidiary
benefits arising out Of the employ
ment. although these are not capable
OF being turned into money.
