UK Elections This Week

IDNDON. May 4 -fR;euterel- Conservative and Labor vete- gettsrs were out in force last week whipping up supporters for the second round of the local election battle throughout the country this week.
The Labor Party. bolstered by huge successes in the first-round election of county councils, ex- pects to make more gains In this week's municipal pools. The Conservatives are on the defen- sive. saying they hold so many seats already they can't expect to make gains.
The elections, May 5 to May 13. will involve a turnover of 20.000
and parish councils.

But the Conservatives know their position is exposed. They claim this is due to Socialist
electioneerlng exploiting the coun- ,try's dissatisfaction with Prime Minister Churchill's six-month-old government.
The Labor Party -alned (09 seats in the county elections and now holds 12 of the 62 councils against a former eight. Chief Socialist victories included a re- cord 55 majority on London's giant county council-where the main parties had been on level terms-and capture of the coun- cil in Lancashire. ltay textile area with a growing unemplo,... problem.
Local government has seen two political swings already since the end of the war. After the 1945 national election. the Socialists capped their return to power by capturing many of the municipal

Remarklng on the prediction oi the Minister of Finance that, for 1952, the general price level will he, at most. two per cent higher than last. year and may show virtually no change. the bank warns! that it is not a "foregone
realism and frustration, as this month's Bank of Montreal Busi- ness Review sees it. While it placed squarely before both pub- lic and legislators some "home truths” about the Coat of defence. welfare and administration and provided for meeting these costs wholly out oi revenue, it offered little in the way of tax remission for the present and held out "very slim hopes of any significant ease- ment" in the foreseeable future. The bank also emphasizes the steepness of corporate taxes and calls for a government lead to the public in the matter of sav- ings.
Of the surplus recorded in the year just closed. the B of M analysis comments that, "had it been produced at A rather lower level of expenditure. and there- fore of taxation. it would prob- ably have met with general an- proval. Indeed. the Canadian gov- ernment's avoidance of deficit fi- nancing since the end of the war has commanded widespread public support at home and no little ad- miration abroad. But the magni- tude of the Federal budget and the high rates of taxation nnw needed to finance it naturally raise the question whether a sub- stantial surplus. even achieved by accident. was not an overly ex- pensive exercise in fiscal virtue."
Inflationary
The R of M adds that. though a surplus may"be' defended as anti-inflationary, high taxation is itself an influence on the infla- tinnar'y side of the ledger. being reflected in living costs and giv- Ing rise to compensatory pay in- creases. Further, mounting rev-
enues. prnviricd at the taxpayer's expense, "nutv tend to dull the

conclusion." Inflationary and de- flationary influences are now del- lcately balanced. but "there are ii number of pressures which, In combination. could conceivably tip the scale on the inflationary side."
Again quoting from the budget speech, the review remarks on the significance of the Minister of Finance's frankly expressed con- cern that "conditions make it necessary to maintain in our tax structure rates as high as this on business profits . . . excessive rates of tax on corporate incomes, if long maintained. can do grave damage to the economy as l whale." t
More Government Saving
While agreeing with the Min- ister of Finance's statement thni "the main problem of controlling total expenditure lies . . . in ex- ercising restraint upon the con- stant demands for additional gov- ernment services". the B of M emphasizes that dcmnnds for ex- panding such services "do not by any means originate entirely out- side of legislative halls." More often than not. programs of ex- penditure are "presented" by tho government to the public. with no great emphasis on the IlTlDIICiI- tions in terms of cost.
In addition. "while administra- tive coals may not seem much in relation in the-"over-all budget. they are large enough to demand continuing and careful control." the review maintains. Nor should defence outlays. while lmpcrailvc. be for that reason exempt from scrutiny to ensure value for money spent. "A public enjoined to prac- tise the virtues of saving and thrift has a right to be assured that the government itself is show- ing the why in this respect."
