BRITISH LABOR PARTY
FOR LEVY ON FORTUNES
Would Subject Wealth Beyond
$4,000 to Graduated Scale
of Assessment.

London.--A capital levy on gradu-
ated scale on fortunes from $4,000
upwards became an integral part of
the British Labor party's program,
when a long resolution dealing with
national finance was adopted by the
party conference in session in Queens
Hall.
Charles 9. Ammon, Labor member
Of parliament for Camberwell, in NOV
ing the resolution, said the capital
levy was the keystone Of the whole
future of Labor finance, and instead
of apologizing for it the party was
determined to keep it to the forefront
The resolution declares that the
policy of Labor is to redeem sub
stantial portion of the British national
debt by levy on capital, with saw
fund thereby being effected, together
with other econmies, notably on ar
maments, and by the taxation Of land
values.
AS a result of the levy, the resolu-
ton stated, 1t would be practicable to
abolish the food taxes and tighten the
burden of the income tax by raising
the exemption limit. Also the enter
tainments tax and corporations profits
tax could be abolished, and money
provided for much-needed social ex-
penditure.
The resolution urged the Labor par
ty in parliament, in default of capI-
tai levy, to press for adjustment of
the food taxes before other relief in
taxation was given.
The resolution offered by George
Lansbury, Labor member Of parlia-
ment for Poplar, declaring against
competition IN building up of Govern
ment air forces, was carried unani-
mously.
The resolution demands the imme-
date calling by Great Britain of an
international congress .for the pur-
pose of eventually abolishing by inter.
national agreement all air arma.
ments."
