A new flag, with the ensign J pees the Union Jack as the background, was flawn Thursday from the staff in front of the lieutenant - governor’s apartment in the provincial Parliament buildings.

Earlier this year Premier Frost ordered the Union Jack taken from the main flagpole at Queen’s Park and replaced »y the Red Ensign. The ensign has been flawn there every day since. PERSONAL FLAG

OTTAWA (CP)—The ‘Commons Thursday gave final approval to a government bill substituting parliamentary secretaries for parliamentary assistants to cab- inet ministers.

Under the measure, which still must be approved by the Senate, 16 parliamentary’ secretaries would be appointed for one-year terms at a $4,000-a-year salary.

Parliamentary assistants under the Liberal government were ap- pointed by order-in-council and held the post for the life of a parliament. There was a limit of

Deficit Risk Is Reason

OTTAWA (CP)—Finance Minis- ter Fleming said Thursday night Canada could not risk such a large deficit: se last year’s 9616,- 600,000.

_He gave this as one of his

main reasons for his ‘‘moderate’’|

—Mr. Fleming's word — tax in- creases, intended to reduce the deficit to $393,000,000 this year. “We must look forward to a time when conditions of prosper- ity and employment will allow a balanced budget and when we

can also make proper provision] -

for an orderly retirement of debt,’’ Mr. Fleming said.

“We have not, however, reached that stage.

INFLATION RISK

“If, under’the greatly-improved prospects of today, we were to continue to run deficits on the same scale as last year, we would . . . run serious risk of building up an inflationary po- tential which could prove most difficult to keep under control a year or so hence.”

-Steps toward a smaller deficit were also desirable to reduce the heavy pressure of new fed- eral borrowings on the bond market.

The Canadian bond market had not been accustomed to absorb- ing as’ large a volume of new government of Canada bonds as the government had had to offer

during the last year.

on might be compensated for two years hence at a more

appropriate time for reductions.”

Mr. Benidickson was apparently referring to the fact that the next general election is likely to occur in 1962 and that the Progres- sive Conservative administra- tion might. cut taxes just before ' then.

He said that except in wartime and during the Korean action there had been no increase in direct Conservative government of 1930- 35. From 1935 until 1957, the Liberals were in power” STRIKING CONTRAST

Mr. Benidickson said that the budget was in striking contrast to past statements Mr. Fleming made while in Opposition and in his early months as finance min- ister.

“What a difference has taken place in the minister of finance in a‘ short two years. The high- lights of everything he said to night seem directly opposite to the things we knew him for in recent times.”

In the past, he said, Mr. Flem- ing had stressed the need for a balanced budget. Now Mr. Flem- ing proposed a second straiizht budgei deficit.

ADVOCATED DECREASE

In the past, Mr. Fleming had radvocated a decrease i taxes. Now there would be tax increases amocnting. to $352,000,000.

“What a contrast,” Mr. Beni- dickson said.

Comparing the present Conser- vative administration with that of 1930-35, he said:

“We have, of course, the same kind of government and we are finding the same kind of results.”

The tax increase represented a reduction i Canadians’ take- home pay and, Mr. Fleming's statement to the contrary, wage- earners with 'ess than $3,000 taxa- ble income still would find they would have to pay higher taxes —at least $2.50 a month for gid age security, |! :
