SURPLS CERTAN FORGREAT BRTAN Labor Organ Sees Danger Ahead With Expected De- mands for Money. By the Associated Press LONDON, March 30 —Great Britain. by the aid of economies and taxes, will end its fiscal year Thursday with a small surplus in its treasury Thus Britain will be one of the few countries in the world that has paid its way in the past year. But all is not unalloyed satisfaction The Daily Herald, organ of the Labor oppcsition to the National government of Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald, puts the surplus at between £40.000.000 and £50,000,000 (nominally about $200,- 000,000 and $250.000.000) and says it will probably endanger the unity of the | cabinet because demands are going to come from all sides for some of the | money. Income Tax Is Hero. The hero of the budget balancing is | the income tax. which was paid up | promptly. The taxpayers’ sacrifice saved the- situation. Since December 31 British income taxpayers have parted with more than £200,000.000. The revised treasury es- timate of £272,000,000 has already been exceeded. It will be the biggest col- Jection since the crisis of 1922-23. when the rate was also 5 shillings in the pound—23 per cent. The surtax payable by persons with incomes exceeding £2,000 is expected to yield more than the estimate of £73,000,000. Exceed Expectations. In brief, next Thursday's figures for | the end of Britain's fiscal year will show the new taxes have been more productive than the treasury antici- pated, and the economies have been more effective than expected It has been predicted that the gov-| ernment will take 6 pence off the in- come tax, making it 227; per cent in- stead of 25 per cent A strong demand is arising for the restoration of the unemployment ben- efits—the dole—to the old rates and the teachers, with an eye on the budget surplus, want the 10 per cent reduc- | tiong in their salaries taken off. ‘ | BLOOM PAID TRIBUTE Representative Sol Bloom of New York, associate director of the George Washington Bicentennial Commission, was made an honorary member of the District of Columbia Federation of Fed- eral Employes at a dance and card party held by the federation last night in the Willard Hotel.
