CP) Wlnstoo Churchill, in his maiden budget laid before th house of commons today. placed the British empire on a gold basis, and announced the re-luipositi'm of the McKenna duties on imporU'Ur luxuriea. The bank's t.i-ednl license, Mr. Churchill said, would operate from to day pending the formal lapsing on De cember 31 next of the li)20 act pro hibiting the export of gold bullion. Mr. Churchill characterized tha yield from internnl revenue as "satis factory." Excess profits and corporation pro fit taxes show a deficit of 9,000,000 pounds Bteiling, but these wero "mori bund" taxes, and were more than counterbalanced by the yield from in come tax, super and death taxes. Maintain Consumption. Tho consuming power of the British people has been maintained, declared Mr. Churchill. ; lie Bfiid he realised that the surplus of the Into Chancellor's estimated corresponded with remarkable ac curacy to the budget's revenue from spirits.
