BRITAIN'S Bl D(.ET—AI\D OURS Many comparisons and contrasts could be drawn between the new British war budget and our own, but the chief of them is this: that Britain really has a budget and that we have not. When the Chancellor of the Exchequer presents his budget for the coming fiscal year it is more than a mere estimate of what revenues and expenditures are going to be; it is a definite set of proposals, This budget is accompanied by a detailed tax bill, which is an integral part of it. Thus the executive assumes clear responsibility not only for every pound that the Government is to spend but for every tax and every tax rate. Parliament is free to accept or reject this budget. But it is not free to tamper with it. If it turned down the budget flatly and completely, the Ministry | would have to resign, and its resignation would be | followed either by a new election or by the formation | of a new Ministry to bring in a new budget. Parliament merely objected to some detail of the | budget, it could not itself amend that detail; but it | might force the Ministry to withdraw the budget and | bring in an amended one acceptable to it. estimates of revenues and expenditures for the cur- rent and the next fiscal year. It is not accompanied by any tax bill or any detailed set of tax proposals. Congress is not asked to do anything about it. It neither accepts nor rejects it. It may be doubted whether most members even trouble to read it. It never comes up for vote, and therefore never really gets seriously discussed. At best there is piecemeal discussion of individual bills or appropriations. Even the President assumes no responsibility for the budget he presents. How can he? The initiative in tax legislation comes from Congress, and Congress may at any time add expenditures for which he has not asked ‘The blunt fact is that under our present system no one is made clearly responsible for the Federal budget. This fact is of first importance in con- nection with the huge expenditures in our probable post-war budgets. Ban On Books (Washington Post) New York City, not to be outdone by Boston, has now developed a book-banning case of its own. The New England center of culture and enlightenment decided not long ago that its residents were not yet mature enough to cope with Lillian Smith’s new novel, Strange Fruit. And in the great metropolis of the Eastern seaboard there is doubt that the citizenry is sufficiently adult to peruse The First Lady Chatterley, by Dr. H. Lawrence. There is a difference between the two cities. Inj Boston a book is adjudged guilty until it is proved innocent. Mr. Bernard De Voto, himself a thor- joughly grown-up, sophisticated student and prac- | titioner of belles lettres, was arrested in the strong- | hold of the Brahmins for purchasing a copy of| Strange Fruit. In New York, however, censors must prove that a book is immoral before it can be banned. A Mr. John S. Sumner, Secretary of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, has charged that there are obscene passages on 92 pages of The First Lady Chatterley. Of the two procedures, New York's seems to us to be greatly preferable. But in either community | the decision as to whether a book ought to be avail- | able to the general public is' left to the judgment of a minor judicial authority. This comes pretty close, | we think, to a licensing of books—something which | the Constitution expressly forbids. We doubt that | the proteetion of tender minds, which is undoubtedly | jeopardy in which it places the most fundamental | 1| the purpose of this sort of cehsorship, is worth (he‘ of our freedoms. | We are very much inclined to doubt, too,, that\ censorship of this sort is at all effective in promoting | | the moraltiy it extols. To charge a book with ob- scenity is to titillate prurient or adolescent minds | respecting it and very likely to enlarge its circulation. To ban its sale is certain to create a bootleg market and consequently to lessen respect for governmental | authority in general. Respecting the literary merits ' |of the two novels in question we have no opinions. We are quite content to leave such matters to the literary critics. The watchers and warders and sUp- | {of one's war efforts and then doing ! | be | Parents must accept the blame for |{should I bilities tivities.
