Did you mean sale death?
Colonel Josiah Wedgwood: ...Provincial Governments for the Central Government in India. The Central Government already has large sources of revenue. It has the Income Tax, which is now a considerable tax in India; it has the Salt Tax, it has the Railway Revenue, and as soon as this Act is passed it will have a large number of Import Duties, and, therefore, we have got for the Central Government a large and an...
...of coastal traffic on which to exercise his professional knowledge. I hope that when the Development Department is working my hon. Friend will remind the Admiral that there is such a thing as salt water surrounding the British Isles, and that we do not all get to our homes by railways; that some of us have to get there by sea and also to get our food and other supplies by sea. When the...
Captain William Benn: ...Rumania, which says that what is required is cotton and wool manufactures, and clothing, iron and steel, and other machinery. Take the Serbs. We read that cotton, wool, and clothing material, also salt, fertilisers, and oils, are badly needed. Then there is Esthonia, Latvia, and Lithuania dealt with on the same page of the Report. It is all the same story. It is obvious that it must be so....
Mr Frederick Macquisten: ...past you naturally suppose that the hereditary principle may come into operation again another day. Therefore the North of Ireland armed too. The repeal of the Arms Act is responsible for all the deaths that have happened in Ireland. They lie at the door of the right hon. Member for Paisley and his political policy. Out of that has come this Agreement, and the right hon. Member may well...
Sir James Macpherson: ...ask one or two questions on the subject. First of all, I welcome the handsome grant which is set aside for research. If before the War we had had such a sum set aside we should have had much less death, and I am convinced that that grant will be of very great benefit to the Army. I regret that the Under-Secretary has withdrawn the capitation grant for Cadets. An hon. Friend who sits near...
Mr Charles Roberts: I suppose you required the improvement of India's credit in order to balance the Budget. That is the real point. I agree that the Salt Tax, if you take the income of the Bombay mill-hands, may not show a large percentage in the family burget, but, after all, the hole of the Indian population does not consist of mill-hands. They are a small fraction, and one has to remember the countless...
Sir Ellis Hume-Williams: ...surprised, to hear a thoroughly conscientious Streaker assert that the observation had not reached his ears, with the result that the turmoil which was threatened in the House has died a natural death of inanition, and the House has been gently led back to the soothing influence, say, of the Scottish Estimates. If it is in his nature, the Speaker must be kind, helpful and tolerant, when he...
Mr Thomas Shaw: ...is paid. So I am inclined to think that I must take my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Secretary's statements, as to the ease with which people can now get benefit, with just a little grain of salt. I quite agree that an unemployment scheme should not be a, pension scheme; but are you going to take these men off the benefit roll on a promise that at some time you will bring in another scheme...
Mr William Wright: ...-General, are 100 per cent, higher than 50 years ago of people driven to suicide because of the despairing conditions under which they were living. We have the horrible condition prevailing of death actually due to starvation. There was an instance given this afternoon at Question Time by my right hon. Friend the Member for Central Newcastle-on-Tyne (Mr. Trevelyan), who called attention to...
...to define a sympathetic strike. He told us certain particular instances would not amount to a sympathetic strike and other instances would. He reminded me of the little boy who was asked to define salt, and he said, "Salt is the stuff that makes the porridge taste nasty if you do not put it in." When anyone is setting out to express his thoughts for the purpose of guiding someone else,...
Mr Philip Snowden: ...always be able to read into a Finance Bill that it contained something which had far-reaching industrial, economic and social consequences. Suppose that we were to propose a drastic addition to the Death Duties. Far-reaching consequences of an industrial, economic and especially social character would be involved in that, and, clearly, under these proposals that Committee would have the...
Mr Frank Rose: ...this: In fancy one can see them floating like monstrous insects over a hostile land while from their flanks, winged offspring would emerge like angry wasps, to fight defending aeroplanes or to rain death and destruction from the skies. An air encounter between two fleets of these aerial mammoths can be more easily imagined than described. Rather! No conflict on land or sea could approach...
Mr Stanley Baldwin: ...of spiritual thought, Evangelical and Catholic. Those two streams have helped to keep each other pure and sweet, and have ensured spiritual progress, and have been, as it were, a preservative salt against sterilisation and decay. It has been only when the Church has lost her elasticity and her sympathy and when she has come, as churches do from time to time, under the dominant influence of...
Mr Alexander Haycock: I want in a very few words to express my disapproval of the dimensions of this Vote. We are told that 54,000 people die of cancer every year. That represents something like one in seven of the deaths, which means that seven out of every eight of us here in this House now are not going to die of cancer. But, if we happen to be born under an unlucky star, one in eight of us is going to die of...
Mr William Brown: ...to my home. I then sent for a Harley Street specialist, who come to my House, examined my sister, and gave it as his considered verdict that she was suffering from dementia precox, and that her death was only a matter of time. The next think that happened was that an old aunt of mine, who used to keep a fried fish shop, took the girl off my hands. She was given no medical treatment except...
...to discuss whether Mr. Gandhi was or was not arrested at the right moment. The Government of India were obviously in this dilemma. If they had arrested him at the commencement of his anti-salt tax illegalities, they would have been charged with being the cause of the disturbances that arose, just as they are now charged with having been so because they did not arrest him. The disturbances...
Mr Frederick Macquisten: ...disinterested and their evidence is of no worth. You want to take the evidence of the dock-labourer sweating off his ship, and the miner who comes up to the surface sweating some of the essential salts out of his body and who wants a pint of beer in order to replace them. The important thing about the liquor question is that the wealthy person and the person who lives a sedentary life do...
...He can have an Act of Parliament to say that, whether we are at war or not, and whatever the peril may be to the 40,000,000 people who live in this country—if we were in peril of being starved to death in a great struggle—Mr. De Valera could pass an Act of Parliament to say, "We will close our ports against you; nay, we can place them at the disposal of any other country if we wish to...
Sir Reginald Craddock: ...with a deep sense of responsibility such as the conditions of the service to which I had the honour to belong, dictate. I have been told sometimes in the Indian Press that I am untrue to my salt. On the contrary I am true to my salt, because I did not eat the salt of only one section of the people of India—and that the noisiest one. I ate the salt of the whole mass of the people, and it...
Mr George Griffiths: ...this country, and is, I think, the most important question of the day, we are discussing it in practically an empty House. The figures show that there were 613,972 births in 1932 and the maternal deaths totalled 3,300, of which Sir George Newman said in his annual report that at least 50 per cent. would have been saved if proper attention had been given. The return shows that in 1933 the...
