LONDON, Sept. s.-Although Eng
land Is most heavily taxed nation IN
the world q number Of public-spirit-
ed citizens are coming forward WITH
huge money gifts designed to reduce
the national debt Of $Ss.000,O 900 600.
Recently several ~millionaires vol
unfairly have given large portions
of their fortunes. specifying that the
income he used either in paying off
the national debt or the principal be
deposited in trust TO accumulate at
compound interest and then revert
10 the government for the same pur-
pose.
The s2.50G,00 gift Of Lord Inch
cane IN memory Of his daughter.
Hon. Elsie Mackay. who flew to her
death in the wastes of the Atlantic
ocean with Captain Hinchliff is the
latest donation. as well as the sec
ond S2.500,000 made by citizens this
ear. The first. announced in Feb
ruary. was made by a man whose
name was not disclosed.
In order that the gifts may be
managed in trusts for the nation ana
that the capital may accumulate at
compound interest. it was neces-
sary for parliament 20 amend the
Thelusson act. which restricted
gifts Of this nature. The act grew
out of litigation over the estate Of

however. was absorbed by litigation
and the government prohibited sim

nous donor gave $500. 600
A number Of peculiar gifts have
been received. Two British visitors
20 Nice who wrote that he was
'only poor" sent $3.50. Another Il
sent $125. the amount Of his dis
ability pensions. Gifts of war bonds
have been numerous.
British business is welcoming the
