 Dalton, introducing an emergency national budget designed to drain off some consumer purchasing pow CT, declared that many companies have been declaring increased di- vidends contrary to his advice.
 This is inflationary and disturb ing to good industrial relations, i" he added.
 The Chancellor told the House of Commons the British government finished the first 32 weeks of its current financial year with an "un- precedented' surplus of 53.O00000 pounds ($1,012, 2,000,000).
 We are within 5,000,000 pounds (S20,000,000) already of the sur plus I estimated for the full year. , he said in his address.
 He referred only to the govern ments revenue and expenditure in the strictly domestic sphere, and his accounting had no bearing on the gap between what the govern ment pays other countries for inn ports and what it earns from ex- potts.
