Deficit Budgeting Suits Times T10) political party ever moved from government into ; Opposition, or from opposition into government, Without a marked alteration in its habits of thought and speech. Whether it takes an ambitious MP one year or 20 to cross the broad green carpet in the cen- tre of the House of Commons, he never crosses it Without changing his views. The observing public notices, smiles and accepts the inevitable, The member, especially if he crosses into minis- terial office, must find the change even more strik- ing. His first reaction is to declare that his opinions have not changed at all. His second and wiser thought reminds him that consistency has often been connect- ed with little minds. His third and wisest is to reflect that the public knows what has happened just as well as he does. Moreover, people prefer a minister cap- able of learning to one who believes he knew all there was to know from the beginning. Our still budgetless finance minister, Donald Fleming, used to proclaim the excellence of the bal- anced budget—neither too much nor too little. But if the electors and the Prime Minister are kind to him, he will eventually have to present a 1958-59 bud- get with the biggest deficit Canada has ever had ex- cept in the Second World War. With the expensive concession to the provinces announced this week, the inevitable deficit on the next budget (short of an unthinkable increase in taxes) grew slightly above the expected figure of $500 millions. To be sure, not all of this need appear badly on the books as deficit. Federal financial operations have long passed such a simpleton’s conception. Somewhere among the numerous funds and special accounts, active assets, investments, loans or ad- vances, Mr. Fleming’s advisers will be able to bury some of the total. But in the real terms of economic impact, which matters more than the bookkeeping niceties, the Conservative government has now un- dertaken to spend about half a billion dollars more than it is likely to collect in taxes on the taxation year 1958, There must be some doubt about spending which introduces new rigidities into the economy (as the guaranteed farm prices could do), and every new cost now built-in for all future time is questionable. But looking at 1958 alone, the deficit spending covers many useful and productive works—ships, hospitals, roads and buildings. It gives the provinces, which in turn should give the municipalities, financial means to improve their public services at a time when they need not compete with industry for materials and labor. And, directly, or indirectly, it helps to main- tain the Canadian consumers’ ability to buy the things they want and thus provide jobs for each other, Mr. Fleming, having crossed the green carpet, need not apologize for his prospective deficit. It suits the times, —The Financial Post. ETHICS, RELIGION, POLITICS “NEGLECTED” IN UNIVERSITIES TORONTO ©—Rev. Angus MacQueen, chairman of the United Church board of evangelism and social service, Tues- day night said university graduates have no more grasp of literature, religion or polities than the man on the street, Mr, MacQueen, a London, Ont., minister, told the board's annual dinner the cdueational system is not producing wise and sensitive people. It would be a mistake to swing toward an educational system which tries simply to turn out more selontists than the Russians, ithleal, religious and political men, Mr. MacQueen sada, seem to have been outstripped in an era which has produced the mass man--an age of servility, pessimism, suspleton and fear, A trip to the moon was not the Rreatest adventure to be preprred for in these times, The AUpYreme adventure was learning to understand the human heart, cam eH So (wronenerteeme amy 7: i OW AWN on SOME FIRES ARE CAUSED BY FAULTY WIRING, OR OVERLOADING —~ REDLICE THIS HAZARD WHEN YOU HAVE AN ELECTRICAL JOB—CALL 4210 Northern B.C.
