London April 28 Winston Churchill in his maiden budget laid before the House of Commons plans to place the empire on a gold basis and re impose McKenna duties on luxuries.

The budget projects a 26 million pound surplus, a reduced income tax by six pence, and restoration of sugar to imperial preference. The Bank of England would sell gold bullion in fixed amounts and convert internal notes to coin at the bank's option.
