The. Budget, like • ''the Throne

every, mei'nber of Parliainent to dis-
cuss a :wide variety, of subjects. The
1943 Budget has called for such large
expenditures that it is not surpris-
ingthat many different views have.
been brought to` the .attention of the
Government. Opposition members
usually preface -their remarks by
assuring • the ' Minister of Finance
that theY make suggestion's in the
,loperthat_certain :changes .be adapt,-
ed in order :that the , burdens of
taxation might be carried more
equitably.. Government supporters
take' part; in the de ate to, defend
the administration and also to offer
criticism. Ond'"of: the most severe
criticisms of the Goveraninent during
the week came from Ross Gray
(Lib.) member for Lainbton who has
felt-for.:some'-time that conscription
