AIDING A REVIVAL.

While, therefore, I sincerely hope that the very optimistic views which have been expressed in some quarters concerning remission of taxation in the new Budget may be carried out, it would be well, I think, not to build too confidently upon such hopes. At the same time, the Chancellor of the Exchequer will undoubtedly be wise in doing his utmost to secure the prospect at no distant date of a relief to the burdened taxpayer, for in so doing he would give a stimulus to confidence and hope which in their turn would probably have a material effect in aiding .a revival in industry itself.
