THE IMPERIAL BUDGET.
WELL RECEIVED BY LABOR PARTY. - TOBACCO DUTY OPPOSED. United Press Association —Copyright. LONDON, May 2. The Labor party approve of the Budget, but oppose the tobacco duty. THE DUKE OF WESTMINSTER’S OPINION. THE BUDGET DENOUNCED BY LORD AVEBURY. (Received May 4, 12.5 a.m.) LONDON, May 3. The Duke of Westminster, in a letter to the "Daily Mail,” says, “I would not grudge the heavy tax imposed on incomes by the Budget, if a- definite assurance regarding the security of the country by sea and land were forthcoming.” Lord Avebury (formerly Sir John Lubbock), in a letter published in the "Daily Mail,” declares that the general opinion in the City is that the Budget proposals are unsound and unjust, and that doubtless they will firstly fall with extreme severity upon the rich, but will tend to lower wages and drive capital abroad, so before long the, poor will he the greatest sufferers.
