ms Budget

Continued from page I

"blunders" by Finance Minister Abbott.

Why not, Mr. Fleming asked. budget for a big surplus new in- stead of the small one of Oll.(x)0.- 000 in Mr. Abbott's budget?

Not euon For surpluses

"surpluses lose their virtue on the eve of election." he said. "This is not the season for surpluses."

while there was no lea reason fgr tax reductions in ruoceedlnis years than in 1949. the govern- ment had in eeded on its way, lighthearted but heavy-handed ex- tortionlsts," ,so Mr. Abbott could "indulge in one of his timing ex- hibitions on the eve of an elec- tion."

This was I reference to I state- ement attributed to Mr. Abbott after the 1940 election, and cited by Mr. Fleming. to the effect that "the timing of what you do is an important as what you do."

Joseph Norseworthy (CC!-York south) said the voice that pre- dominated in the ”lnet when the budget was being drafted was the voice of st. James Street. the Montreal counterpart of New York's wall street. The govern- ment apparently had succumbed to the demands of the Progruslve Conservatives. The budget had "all the can-narks of a. good Conserva- tive budget."

Too Voimg To Vote

Every lobby had received some- thing out oi the budget. except that of the soft drink and candy makers. 'rhetr customers were not old enough to vote.

The government could have re- duced the lo-per-cent. sales tax. increased the income tax exemp- tions of low-wage earners, remov- ed entirely the floor of A medical expenses deductible from income tax and removed the means test from blind pensions and war vet- era.ns' a owances. .

Roch Pinard (L-Chamubly-Ilnm ville) said he supports the request that the means test be rvmbved from pensions-for the blind.
