He says this was the meaning of a passage in Mr. Asquith's speech on the economic conference, when the Premier referred to certain reforms designed 'to spread the fruits of industry more fairly throughout the community." The writer adds that the whole Cabinet is in agreement om this question, and that there are promi- nent men in and near the Govern- ment who favor ways and means to bring about a system of state control or guidance of the distribution of wealth. The germ of State action on this principle is contained in the excess profits tax clauses in the budget, Which this year is taking from very large excess profits no less than 7 per cent.
