highlighted
the
Dominion
government's
fiscal
program
during
1946.
--
The
government
slashed
at
expenditures,
reduced
taxes,
unsuccessfully
sought
new
taxation
agreements
with
all
the
provinces,
and
generally
tried
to
put
finances
back
on
a
peacetime
footing
following
the
six
costly
years
of
war.
To
parry
inflationary
pressures
from
the
outside
it
raised
the
Canadian
dollar
to
parity
with
that
of
the
United
States.
.
As
the
year
end
approaches,
government
of-y
ficials
say
the
indications
of
success
in
the
economy
drive
are
encouraging.
In
the
first
five
months
of
the
fiscal
year
ending
March
31,
1947,
revenues
amounted
to
$1,147,712,699
and
expenditures
to
1,069,727,371,
leaving
a
surplus
of
$151,000,000.
While
the
officials
said
they
did
hot
expect
..that
the
trend
would
be
as
good
for
the
remainder
of
the
year,
there
are
indications
that
the
financial
posicion
would
be
better
than
originally
estimated.
When
Finance
Minister
Ilsley
presented
his
.
budget
in
June
he
estimated
that
the
deficit
on
ths
year's
operations
would
run
between
260,000,000

supplementary
estimates
tabled
some
months
after
the
budget,
the
year's
expenditures
were
estimated
at
2,911,994,-111,
a
reduction
of
1,73S,546,534.
When
the
first
half
of
the
fiscal
year
had
passed,
Mr.
Ilsley
said
expenditures
were
running
.
much
lower
than
anticipated
and
that
he
expected
to
wind
up
the
year
in
much
better
position
than
he
originally
thought
possible.
'
;
The
federal
budget
has
not
been
balanced
since
1930
when
expenditures
brought
on
by
depression
started.
These
expenditures
were
followed
by
the
war
expenditures.
m
The
country's
net
debt
rose
from
2,177,763,959
.
in
1930
to
3,101,667,570
in
1938.
Then
came
the
war
and
the
debt
skyrocketed
from
3,152,559,314
In
1939
to
11,29S,362,018
in
1945.
The
per
capita
debt
m
1930
was
213
and
in
1945
it
stood
at
932.
The
increase
in
the
debt
occurred
despite
the
record
breaking
revenue
from
personal
income
and
oher
taxes.
Taxes
and
borrowings
from
the
public
thVough

IoanS
were
used
to
meet
a
large
part
of
the
war
expenditures.
When
the
war
ended
the
government
agreed
to

in
mid-October
and
in

.
These

were
made
before

In

cut

a

In

year's

Mr.
Ilsley
announced
a
raising
of

and
increased
allowances.for
dependents,
to
become
ef-fective
as
from
Jan.

The
move,
he
said,
would

Audience
Repaid
With
Delightful
Entertainment
Last
Night
An
audience
of
between
150
and
200
"first
nighters"
were
pleasantly
rewarded
for
their
hardihood
in
braving
slushy'
streets
when
they
attended
the
Booth
'Memorial
High
School
plays
in
the
school
auditorium
last
night.
The
three
plays,
directed
by
members
of
the
teaching
staff
and
played
by
the
stu
dents,
provided
two
hours
of
comedy
which
will
be
repeated
in
the
auditorium
tonight.
The
first
play,
"Wanted
-,
A
Housekeeper",
directed
by
O.
Aubrey
Bate
was
a
hilarious
comedy
of
two
elderly
farm
bachelors
and
their
troubles
in
engaging
a
housekeeper..
Conflict
between
the
good
old-fashioned
way
and
the
psychologist's
idealistic
way
of
bringing
up
children
provided
the
plot
for
the
second
play,
"Child
Psychology."
The
play
provided
much
good
humor
and
action,
as
the
psychologist,
after
trying
the
principles
of
the
famous
master,
is
forced
to
use
not
her
heart
but
her
hand
to
encourage
the
unfolding
personalities
of
several
children
left
in
her
charge.
The
"Potboiler",
a
semi-melodrama,
depicted
a
play
within
a
play.
As
the
playwright
rehearsed
his
latest
production,
his
actors
provided
the
audience
with
thrills
and
comedy.
Following
the
plays,
there
was
a
period
of
Christmas
singing
by
the
Booth
girls'
choir
under
direction
of
J.
Vogt.
The
evening
was
opened
with
introductory
remarks
by
Principal
W.
W.
C.
O'Neill
In
which
he
welcomed
the
audience
and
expressed
appreciation
to
those
who
had
assisted
in
the
productions
and
to
the
students
who
took
part.
