"They get political hetidaches from eye strain caused by the effort to see what docs not exist They imagine, for instance, that they discover a government controlled by bankers. To tho bankers themselves, conscious of the extent and Inevitable risks of their unaided efforts, such charges must seem to be the perfec tion of Irony.

April 28. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The gold standard in England will be restored, dating from today, by a special license to the Bank Of England to export gold bullion, it wrb announced by Winston Churchill, chancellor- of the exchequer, In his budget speech In the house of com mons this afternoon. The bank's special license, - Mr. Churchill said, would operate from today pending the formal lapsing on December 81 next ot the 1920 act pro hibiting the export of gold bullion. Mr. . Church 111 characterized tne yield from internal revenue as "satis factory." ' ' ' ExcesB profits and corporation pront taxes showed a deficit of 9,000,000 pounds, but these were "moribund" taxes and were more than counter balanced by the yield from income tax, super an death taxes. The consuming power of the British people has been maintained, declared Mr., Churchill. He said he realized that the surplus of the late chancellor's estimate cor responded with remarkable accuracy to- the budget's revenue from spirits. Tobacco had fallen 2,000,000 pounds sterling below the last budget esti mate, but beer had advanced by 1,000, 000 sterling. ; Mr. Churchill said he was making arrangements to obtain credits In the United States for not less than aou,- 000,000 with possible expansion. , The , American credits neing 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.
