Mr. Wilson-Lawrenson, who is here from America to see whether
London is a proper place for a big American business convention next year, is of opinion that it is. London, he declares, according to the Evening Standard, ought to be one of the greatest Convention cities in the world, but it has not been advertised. " You don't tell people about your capital. You are having a British .Empire Exhibition next year, but I have never heard about it in America." He had been three weeks in London and had not even seen it mentioned in the English papers. " Is that exhibition going to happen or is it not Y " Mr. Wilson-Lawrenson goes on to declare that the British people are the most heavily taxed in the world, and then asks why we do not tell America by propaganda that we are paying anything up to 50 per cent. of our incomes in taxes and that we do it with a smile. If the American taxpayer knew what was the plight of his brother taxpayer here " there would be less difficulty about the debt problem."
