Austria Disappointed Over

Other Countries Divided on 1
Opinions; Uncertainty

WASHINGTON, April (P)
While there is an evident disposition
among American as well as British
and Italian observers here, after the
first reaction, to await developments
of the next month or two before
judging the import of the 1 linden
burg election in Germany, there is a
more or less confirmed pessimism in
French circles over the event.
Against the French view, however,
that it means an unmasking of Ger
man militaristic ambitions, is the
German construction that, rather than
a victory for the reactionary factions,
it is a blow to communism in Ger
many, despite the absence of anything
resembling formal comment in either
official or diplomatic quarters here,
it was possible to form an accurate
impression of the various reactions
as the election continued the dominent
topic of discussion today.
As to npprehuusions from an eco
nomic standpoint, treasury officials
believed the indication of n. swing to
ward conservatism in Germany would
hardly be viewed by American bank
ing interests as anything to fear in
supporting German reconstruction.
They regarded the duly reaction in
the money market as only n tempor

With the relative humidity at t'ne

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. Tobacco had fallen 2,000,000
pounds sterling below tho last budget
cstimato but beer had advanced by a
million pounds sterllug.
Mr, Churchill snid he wns making
arrangements to obtain credits in tha
C rifted Htntc for not less thnn 9300,
000,000 with possible expansion.
The American credits being arrang
ed for, Mr, Churchill snid, would only J
ho used If and when required nnd ho
did not expect that It would bo neccs-
sary to use them. '
In oo me Tax Cut. (
The standard rnte of the Income tax
will bo reduced by six pence in tb '
pound sterling, Mr. Churchill announc- j
ed. 1
With regnrd to tho ro-cslnblishmcnc
of the gold stnndnrd, Mr, Churchill i
said be would introduce a measure '
providing that Internnl treasury notes
ns well as Hank of Kngtand noted,,
would he convertible into com,
but only at the option of the Honk f .
Knglnnd.
The re-establishment of the gold
