London, April 28.

Onerative Todav The bank's special license, Mr. Churchill said, would operate from today pending the formal lapsing on December 81 next of the 1920 act prohibiting the export of gold bullion. Mr. Churchill characterized the yield from Internal revenue as "satisfactory." Excess profits and corporation profit taxes showed a deficit of 9,000,000 pounds sterling, but these were "moribund" taxes and were more than counterbalanced the yield from Income tax, supers and death taxes. The cnsumlng power of the British people has been main tained, declared Mr. Churchill. He said he realised that tho sur plus of the late chancellor's esti mate corresponded with remark able accuracy to the budget's rev enue from spirits.

The American credits being ar ranged for, Mr. Churchill said, would only be used If and when required and he did not expect that It would be necessary to use them. The standard rate of the Income tax will be reduced by six pence In the pound sterling, Mr. Church- Ill announced. With regard to the re-establish ment of the gold standard, Mr. Churchill said he would Introduce a measure providing for internal treasury notes, as well as Bank of England notes, which would be convertible Into coin but only at tho option of the Bank of Eng land.
