Britain's Finances
Big Problem for
New Minister Group

London. Dec. 81 Qsy a. P.)-As-
Stunning that n labor government will
be in power next March when the
budget statement must be presented
to parliament. it is generally sup
posed that one of the greatest diff
CultieS for the new ministers, mex
perienced in the art of governing,
will be connected with the nations
finances. There have been state
ments that the Baldwin government
in the last budget were unduly OPP
timistic concerning the coming years
revenue and that there is likely to be
a large deficit in the next budget
statement.
Returns issued by he treasury to-
night seem to bear out these fears.
for they show that in the first nine
months of the fiscal year n decrease
OF more than 100000 pounds ster-
ling in the nations revenue, as COM
pared with the same period last year.
Under the peculiar circumstances
that the labor administration will
only have been in office at the most
about one month before presenting
the budget, the new government will
necessarily be compelled to present
a statement largely prepared by its
predecessors and the permanent Off
Gals, there being no time to draft an
entirely new budget.
