Yet when it comes to an institution such as the Budget, party lines in Britain mean little or nothing. The most orthodox of Finance Ministers could have been no prouder than Mr. Dalton appears to have been when he announced that the budget had been brought into balance for 1947-1948. Even under the new British income tax rates the single person with an income of $2,000 will pay a tax of $447, compared with $249 for an individal in similar circumstances in the United States. The burden of taxes on enterprise remains exorbitant. And tariffs and excise taxes are such as to make luxuries of . necessities and to make one-time luxuries almost un- attainable. The British public grumbles at these things and resorts to wry sarcasm to give vent to its feelings. It has already dubbed the new budget, which raises the price of a pack of cigarettes from 47 cents to 67 THE CANCER CLINIC Any graph the steadil cancer death: tragedies portrayed so ¢ and graph Until e vely recent to twrn away om so0 unpleasant a was a word to be mentioned ir It was considered disgraceful and s curable affliction which ‘inspired do. had much to do with the increase cancer since 1900 However through the work of such organizations as the American Cancer Society, much progress has guantitative been made iif recent years and the fight of science vs. cents, the “no smoking” budget, or the “tobacco budget But although austerity budget follows austerity budget, it seems never to occur to either the Government or the man in the street in Britain to vard trend of | iy to the radical, escapist budgetary theories that 1g to contemplate, one finds among our own neo-economists and their rocession of individual unfeeling by that followers. Under a Conservative Government or a Labor Government a bal ed budget is still, to the British, a symbol of financial integrity, and as such a matter of national pride The real importance of the Government's action in raising the duty on tobacco by 50 per cent is pot “polite soci that it has provided a popular appellation for the eful and in- new budget. Its real importance is that it points up othingness and ' the nature of Britain's real budget problem, which is in deaths from | external, rather than internal. Nor is that problem evident in the over-all picture of the country's inter- national balance of payments. The problem is a qualitative one, well as Britain’s 1947 import program indi- cates the extent to which she is dependent for her as the custom and cancer as cancer has expanded into a nationwide battle.

They looked even rore embarrassed when Missouri's serious minded Senator Forrest Donnell took the floor. “I will never commit myself to any course of action in this con- ference,” he said. “I protest any attempt to turn this conference into a caucus. I think there is value to a discus- sion of views here, but I will not be bound. When I vote it will be on the floor, on the basis of argu- ments publicly made.” Milikin dodged by ning that it was important f nim tw know how his colleagues might vote, so he had simply asked a question in order to get some infor- mation for himself.

He expressed con- cern that the effectiveness of the conference would be “hampered.” Senator Taft, however, did not agree. He jumped in to stress the ! need for attention to party stra- ! tegy. “The leadership must know these things,” he said. “No one is | bound, but we must know the feel- ! ing of the conference.’ West Virginia’s 1aithful Chap- man Revercomb chimed in to sup- port Milikin, explaining the Colc ! adan had simply sought “your ten- tative opinions.” “If that is so,” shot back Senator { Donnell of Truman's home state, *“he should have rephrased his ques- tion.
