A Macduff Ottawa Report Tax Cuts Are Hinted • • • OTTAWA — If Finance. Mini- ster Walter Gordon . fails to come up with some pretty healthy tax cuts in his Spring budget,' Canadians will not on- ly be disappointed but quite reasonably annoyed: No finance minister has ever laid the groundwork more com- pletely for - tax reductions. It is becoming a yearly event for Federal finance ministers to address the Canadian Club in Toronto early in the New Year and give a forecast of what is in store. •Mr. Gordon this year was more• forthcoming than us- ual. He announced that his bud- get deficit, forecast Iast March as $455 million, would be be- tween $150 million and 200 million. Then he added the opinion that a deficit of this size should not be -covered by taxation unless it, was felt that the state of the economy could withstand and justify the 'defla- tionary effects of such action. After pointing out that if his budget were calculated on a national accounts basis to show the impact of taxing and spend- ing on the economy, there would be a surplus, he conclud- - ed: "They (facts and figures) show that we have achieved our objective of moving in the di-' rection of a balanced budget under conditions of high levels of employment. They demon- ,strate that the Government and Parliament --despite our mani- folddifficulties—have brought the budget under control". This was the firs public dis- closure of Mr. Gordon's think- ing which' he' has expressed pri- vately that continuation of a moderate della rather than a balanced -Widget should be the 'Gti'verntnent's policy for the not few years. There are three very cogent reasons- ., by this: 1 The' population explosion t .poste h'abies 'I$ now treat kt!lf�g•:lri the labor. felt in .1964, will be more forc- ibly felt this year, and will con- tinue at least until 1970. Merely to keep pace by pro- viding new job opportunities for the new labor force entries will require an increase in na- tional production this year of something the same order (eight per cent) that we experienced • in 1964. This would not allow any improvement during the coming year in the unemploy- ment picture. 2. While the prosperity of 1964 is expected to carry on for the first half of 1965 both here and in the United States, no one has been optimistic en- ough yet to suggest that there • will be no flattening out in the last half. 3. The final quarter of 'Mr. Gordon's fiscal year will co- incide with the launching of the Canada Pension plan. Since no pensions will be paid far another year the full amount of the contributions from workers and employers (approximately $164 million) will be drained from the spending and "invest ment stream. It is true that the Provincial Governments will be borrowing the money, but ...the lag' between that borrowing and ifs' expenditure on capital projects could produce a ser- ious deflationary effect on an economy that is being bolstered largely by high consumer spend- ing. The quickest and simplest method of returning this money to the spending- stream is for the Federal Government to re- duce personal income taxes on a healthy scale at the expense of balancing next year's budget. This, at least, is one logical interpretation of Mr. Gordon's Toronto forecast that the year ahead would call for a continua- tion and enlargement of present expansionary policies "and the ntroduetion of scone new ones". Mr. Gordon In 1965-86 could reasonably forecast a balanced brtdpefw. sit pre lent tat rates; as. • GNP. Or, as an alternative, he codld reduce taxes, budget for a deficit of $250 million to $300 million and borrow this amount in the open market, replacing the demand for loanable funds usually made on the market by provinces. He cannot expect to cut taxes and balance his bud- get. Ottawa's spending budget for the coming year will probably seen an increase of about $500 million or be in the neighbor- hood of $7.7 billion. The Finance Department alone will need an additional , $200 mil- lion 'to meet new payments to the province as a result of last year's concessions. The Defence Department, launching its new $1.5 billion' five-year spending program on equipment will probably spend at least $265 million in the com- ing year, eliminating any sav- ing achieved in the current year through a cutback in personnel andsteps toward integration of the forces. • In addition to this there will be the usual uncontrollable in- creases for welfare payments and civil service salaries, the one dictated by population, the other by the Government's pol- icy of annual increments. * 4: Capital Hill Capsules With no further additions, the hangover of Government legislation at the end of the second session of Parliament will be more°than sufficient to keep a third session busy until Christmas, allowing for only a short summer recess.

It's composed of all the things I'm NOT going to do this year. Not that I'm admitting for a moment that 1964 was a com- plete failure. There were some things from which I derived a good deal of satisfaction. For one thing, I remained alive. With the traffic the way it is, and the tension cutting swaths through the -ranks of, chaps my age, just staying alive these days, is quite a feat. In the second place, I hung onto my job. This may seem like a trivial boast. But what with computers, it's like stay- ing alive. Ask the fellow who hasn't managed to do either. Or both. What it meant was that I was able to continue keeping in high style a woman I never met until I was 25, and two - kids who think money grows on fathers. a: • Keeping my job also meant that I was able to keep up my payments, no mean accomplish- ment in this age. In fact, I epitaph read: "He was a good man. He kept up his pay- ments." As a matter of fact, I did ',a little better. Not only did I meet all my interest payments, but I reduced the mortgage on my house by $28.64, leaving a mere balance due of $12,971.34. This was somewhat offset by the borrowing of a couple of G's from my friendly banker, in order to replace the family transportation, which was rot- ting on the vine, but you can't win them all. I'm not trying to brag. There were a lot of things in 1964 that I'd do differently another time.

TO THE EDITOR: Protests F For ohe thing, I'm • not going to worry so much. My reckon- ing shows- that I spent 20 to 30 minutes worrying last year about trifling things, like my son running away from home, my daughter going.out on her first date, and my wife report- ing cancer . in a new location weekly. That's enough to put a fellow in the hospital. I aim to cut that down to a maximum of ten minutes this year. And. it'll be worry about something worthwhile, like my golf slice and trout that got away. Another thing I'm not going to do this year is lose so many arguments with the Old Battle- axe. Last year, 'must have lost about 97 per cent of them. I don't know just how I'll go about it, but I'm determined to cut that figure to the . bone— maybe right back to 95 per cent. - Qnce again, I'm not going to buy my wife •a mink coat; I'm not going to build that patio that I didn't build last summer; I'm neither going to start get- ting to bed early nor getting up early; I'm not going to stop smoking because it might kill me, nor drinking ditto; I'm not going to pay my 'income • tax with anything milder than rage; I'm not going to pay any atten- tion to all the silly people in the world who tell me what Pm not supposed to do. In short, the next year will be much like every other year. And good enough for me. But perhaps we could all' join heart- ly in repeating a little slogan for the coming year.
