This is not due to reductions recently made in customs duties, but to a great decrease in importa tions, and that is due in an extraor-| dinary extent to the industrial area lected by the present war. “Conditions have arisen which no sary ore We ought to resort to taxation, however, We may regret the neces sity of putting additional burdens upon the people. “The country ts able to pay any just and reasonable taxes without distress.
