British Budget Boasts Surplus and Tax Relief for 1935-36
Chancellor Chamberlain announced a budget with an estimated surplus of £500000 and a lower income tax rate while maintaining defence spending at £10500000. He touted a program of cheap money tariffs and tax remission as key to postwar recovery, noting total revenue of £735.58 million against £729.97 million expenditure. No provision was made to repay the war debt to the United States, though South Africa did repay £7.5 million last summer.

Plan Action In Cotton Tax Case
Northern cotton goods manufacturers from New England and New York planned a campaign of legal action against the cotton processing tax.

A three member committee will be appointed to pursue the action. Secretary Henry A Wallace was criticized in a separate resolution for inciting farmers to unite against the industry.
