m---v I Semi-luxury Hard Hit . By Alan Harvey

IJONDON. NOV. 7 -(CPi- Bfllr ain, faced with her greatest fin- ancial crisis since devaluation. to- cay applied new bandages of aus- terity to reduce the drain on her lifeblood--the vital gold and dol- lar reserves of the sterling area.

Winston Churchill's ll-day-old Conservative Government an- nounced that it is going to cut its buying abroad by nearly 51.000000 000 a year and make money dear- er to borrowers at home in order to get Britain out of the red.

A major part.of the cut will af- fect the British grocery list, knock- im: out such semi-luxury food items as tinned meats. jelly pickles and fresh fruit imported mostly from Europe.

There will be a curtailment of new building and strategic stock- piling and a. reduction by half of the 51100 allowance Afor foreign travel.

Richard Austen "Butler. Chanc- ellor of the Exchequer, announced in the House of Commons the grim news forecast by Churchill Tiicsday. The "Prime Minister said then he had found Britain on the

road to "national bankruptcy" and

"exceptional measures" would have to be taken.

Grave Crisis I

Today Butler told the Commons that unless Britain quickly finds means of paying her way in the world the inhabitants of these crowded islands will find them- selves ttbankrupt idle and hungry."

Butler said the nationalized Bank of England is raising its bank rate from the present two per cent to 225. per cent to check inflation. This means rt borrower will have to pay more interest for I loan from any bank in England. The stiff new program also calls for: .

1. A new tax an excess prof- ts

2. A new drive to increase production by British indust- ry in an effort to provide more goods for export.

ii. A meeting in January of

finance ministers from the Commonwealth to discuss the problem of restoring the world's confidence in the
