Austin Announces The New A-40 Somerset
Today at all deaier points across Canada. The Austin Motor Coin- pany (Canada) Limited is unveil- ing one of the most unexpected new cars of 1062. The car is a completely restyled Austin A-40. Caued the Austin. A-40 somerset. the new car is the successor to the Austin "Devon". the most successful car in British automo- bile history.
The new Austin A-40 has been completely restyled inside and out in new distinctive and eye pleas- ing lines. Push button handles open new wider doors to reveal increased seating space and leath-
er upholstered seats cushioned with Dunlopillo foam rubber. Wide, curved. one -piece wind-
shield and one-piece rear window give passengers and driver in- creased visibility and added en- joyment to pleasure driving.
Many mechanical improvements will be noticed by the motorist in this new Austin A-40. Four-whccl Girllng hydraulic brakes. steering column gear shift controlling four forward speeds and a new "sports type" cylinder head giving sub- stantially increased power wltli- out any sacrifice of economy are among them. These improvements are the result of Austin's experi- ience in developing a car suited to the needs and demands of Canadian motorists.
In this respect. the first new Austin A-40 was subjected to n gruelling road test upon arrival at Austin's Hamilton factory sev- erai weeks ago. Prior to the al- rival. several 400-mile routes were mapped to test the new car over every conceivable road and in every type of driving condition. When the car was readied for driving. the first of three teams of Austin-trained driver mechan- ics climbed in. installed instru- ments for testing gas consump- tion, acceleration. braking and temperature control and began the first 400-mile leg of a round- the-clock trip that lasted ten days and covered 10,000 miles.

Austin engineers estimate that the new Austin A-40 Somerset was subjected to more punish- ment in the 10,000 mile test than the average car receives in more than a year of driving. The new Austin A40 is on display this week at Austin dealers across Canada and ample stocks are now on hand at distribution points.
Minister Faresm Continued-ii;-m page 1
per. tabled Monday in the Com- mons.
Ordinarily the white paper. which disclosed a surplus of saw.- 737,000 for 1951-52. is tabled dur- ing the budget speech. Mr. Ab- bott had forecast a surplus oi 830,000,000 for the fiscal year end- ed March 31. The surplus in 1950-51 was S2li.294.000.
"We have made substantial pro- gress in our defence program and the inflationary spiral has been
brought to a halt." Raid Mr. An-
bott.
"There remains. however. a strong inflationary potential. and any series oi events that sharply
increased either international or industrial tensions could revive these direct inflationary pressures and put our economic defences to a renewed test."
Referring to the steps taken by the government to control infle- tion. Mr. Abbott said consumer credit restrictions have played an "important part" in reducing pressures and in improving sm- ings. "These regulations were admit- tedly severe, but the inflationary pressures were such that strong measures were needed," he said. "As these pressures eased we were
able to relax the regulations to some extent." Then indicating that no im-
mediate relaxation is in prospect, he added:
"I keep these matters under fre- quent review, and as soon as it seems sensible to do so we shall relax them again." I
I-Ie referred to the deferred de- preciation regulations contained in the last budget and said they hate restrained a good deal oi nou-r..x- sentlal capital investment. The regulations delayed for four years the write-off of depreciation on
non-essential capital investments.

"No changes in the principle of these . ,ulations are presently contemplated." he said. "but 1. can assure the House that we do not like regulations of this sort and that we shall be most happv to modify or withdraw them when the proper time comes." Personal savings Appeal
He appealed to Canadians to keep up in 1952 the good record of personal savings they made it. 1051. The savings climbed to ap- proximately 8l,400,000.000 in 1851 from s'l00,000,000 in 10 .
He reviewed Canada's trade sit-
uation, givlng figures previously made public by the Bureau of Statistics.
Bringing the Commons up ll) date on official holdings of gold and United States dollars. Mr. Abbott said they have shown lit- tle change in the last thxen months.
At March 81 they totalled ti.- 1e7,ooo,ooo. or 80.000000 more than at Dec. 31, and sia4.ooo.ooo more than a year ago. Between Jan- uary and August last year the re- serves dropped by approximately 3iB0,000.000. In the remaining four months of the year they went up approximately s20o,ooo.ooo and since then they have shown lit- tle varlation from week to week. Looking to the future. he said the "present prospects for 1952 are for continued high levels of employment and business activity, but with some unevenness in their distribution."
Borne lines and some regions "may experience demands that will fully or more than fully tax" their available resources. Other lines and other regions may find their resources less fully employ- ed. Prices in 1052 probably will be unchanged to two per cent higher
than last year. The value of gross national product: may reach s22,soo,ooo.ooo compared with 321,- 200,000,000.
Government Accounioh
Turning to government ac- counts, Mr. Abbott said Progres- sive Conservative membera have charged him with bad budgeting. He had forecast a surplus of only 330,000,000 for the year and end- ed it with one of approximately 3856.000.000.
"Let me say quite plainly that so long as we have such years of rising prosperity as we have ex- perienced while I have been Min- ister of Finance I am not going to apologize for having a surplus and making some reductions in the dead-weight of our huge na- tional debt."
Defending his estimates, he said "no Minister of Finance. provincial treasurer or any head of a national treasury with any- thing like comparable tasks has
made as consistently good a record of forecasting of revenue and expenditures as has tl ic
Canadian Minister of Finance in the past five years."

coinmendatlons to enable stronger government action against those who break anti-combine laws.
Recommendations likely will lead to government legislation later this year. Last year's anti- price fixing recommendations now are law. .
Headed by Mr. Justice .1. H. MacQuarrio of the Nova Scotia
Supreme Court. the four-man committee described Canada's laws against illegal monopolies,
trusts. mergers and combines as fundamentally sound. However. there was one "basic weakness" --the Combines Commissioner seemed "at one and the same time. prosecutor and judge."
The committee agreed that the commissioner. placed in charge of on investigating agency. should be given powers necessary to pur-
sue investigations into alleged illegal price-fixing and commod- ity-conirol practices in Canada.
However, powers to search prem- ises. subpoena witnesses and judge whether laws lind hr-on hreachod should rest with a spec- ial three-man board.
This board would have author- ity to receive the commissioner's evidence and at the same time hear argument from the indus- try under investigation. The board would forward its report to the Justice Minister, who would decide. as at present. whether prosecution should be launched. y other Rooommevidationa
1. Broadening of the govern- ment's powers to modify tariffs and knock out patent. rights to give it greater authority to deal with monopolies and combines.
2. No immediate action against

3. The courts should hsvo
power to demand that convicted parties continue to make periodic reports on their activities even after the court case is finished.
4. Lifting of the ceiling on maximum fines to give the courts complete freedom on levies. Tho maximum fines fixed hy the sta- iutes sometime: w-re "inade- quate" in comparison with tho heavy volume of business done by those found guilty. Under rom- hlnes legislation. the maximum fine is 810,000 for an individual and 825.000 for a corporation.
5. Elimination of the legislativo restriction which says that no rourt nrtlon can he brought against an industry two years or
'more after the offence was alleg- 'ed to have been committed.
6. Anti-combines legislation In the Combines investigation Act and the Criminal Code should be consolidated under the Combines Act.
T. The Criminal Code should be amended to make clear that a supplier is hreaklng the law only when he discriminate-I in grant- ing discounts to some customers and not others during along per- iod of time and not in isolated cases.
