that is to on March our present scale of taxation would provide not Only for the whole of our peace expenditure and the interest on the whole National but also for a sinking fund calculated to redeem that debt in less than 40 and there would still remain a surplus sufficient to allow me to abolish the extra taxes and to reduce other taxes con precise 1 May perhaps be allowed to explain Titis More
