Excerpt from Britain's Peril: An Exposition of Our Fiscal PolicyIT has been suggested that we should examine our fiscal policy, and see if, owing to altered circum stances, it is in need of revision. This suggestion, one would have thought, coming from the statesman who is probably better acquainted with the political demands of the Empire than any other living man, would have met with hearty approval from the whole nation.Such, however, has not been the case. Certain people, hitherto prominent for their advocacy of every kind of enquiry, regard this simple suggestion as an unpardonable offence, and as a signal for spiteful and bitter abuse of its author.The question in issue is not one of parties and personalities, but of simple facts and figures. It is, therefore, the more surprising that Free Traders should think that they alone are wise, and that Russia, Europe, the United States of America, and Mr. Chamberlain are wrong.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
