WILL BE B|G_GE'R
NEXT YEAR
‘OTTAWA (CP)——A forerunner of a possible record peacetime deficit in Tuesday night’s fed- eral budget was laid before Par- liament Monday.
A pre-bud-get white paper es- timated a modest deficit of $39,- 400,000 — virtually a balanced budget—for the year that ended March 31, but already-indicated expenditures appear bound to multiply this many times in the current fiscal year.
An unforeseen slump in govern- ment revenues during the finél three months of the last fiscal year turned a forecast sunplus into the deficit, on the basis of figures still subject to final ac- counting about mid-August.
In the last full-fl-edged budget, former Liberal finance minister Walter Harris 'in March, 1957, had predlicted a surplus of $152,- 000,000. Finance Minister Flem- ing of the new Progressive Con- servative government that took office a year ago revised this to an $80,000,000 surplus when he announced tax cuts last Decem- ber. ,
But Mr. Fleming's udiite paper, tabled in the Commons Monday, showed that while expenditures stayed up around the later fore- cast, revenues slipped for the first time since the recession ear of 1954-55.
The result was the first deficit in three years. following a sur- plus of $257,500,000 in 1956-57.
Federal De ici
' The white paper estimated bud- Iget ‘revenues at $5,0-17,100,000 and expenditures of $5,006,500,- 000. For the previous year, the figures were $5,106,500,000 and $4,849,000,000.
For the year that started April 1, Mr. Fleming is expected to propose spending of around $6,- 000,000,000 in his budget speech to be delivered to the Commons at 8 p.m. EDT Tuesday night.
It would be an all-time high, topping the record $5,322,000,000 in the war year of 1943-44.
G o v e r n ment spokesmen al- ready have indicated the budget will go in for heavy spending as a means of providing jobs and getting anti-recession money into circulation. Prime Minister Dierf- enbaker has stated the govern- ment will not balk at a budget deficit to combat unemployment.
The forecast deficit could run anywhere from $600,000,000 to $1.- 000,000,000, far ahead of the Pre- vious peacetime high of $390,- 342,000 in 1919-20..
However, there " is. no direct comparison between the two sets of figures, because the total gov- ernment revenue in 1919-20 was, less than $400,000,000.
The all-time record deficit was $2,558,277,000 in the 1944-45 war year.
Mr. Flemings first full-scale budget may include a few select tax cuts. but in the light of the spending and revenue outlook
Is 39
they are unlikely to be wide- spread. No major reductions in; per on-al or conporation income’; taxes are expected. I
OVEROPTIMISTIC
In the white paper, it was‘ shown that both Mr. Harris and Mr. Fleming were optimistic in, their forecasts of revenue for thei last fiscal year. By comparison‘ with the eventual $5,047,100,000, Mr. Harris had estimated $5,170,- 000,00o and Mr. Fleming had re-I vised this to $5,14-1,000,000 in his] December financial statement.
A sharp drop in revenue during! the last three months of the fis- cal year lar-gely accounted for the decrease, the white paper‘ said. ‘-
While personal income tax rose, by $98,700,000 to $1,499,200,000,{ corporation taxes slipped by $33,-! 700,000 to $1,234,800,000.
These are the largest two items of government revenue.I Virtually all the others were} down for the year.
On the expenditure side, de- fence remained the largest singlei item, though the $1,687.000,000; was below the previous year’s1 $1,784,000,000 and represented‘ only 33 per cent of the over-all spending total compared with 37 per cent in 1956-57.

cent income and excise tax not included in the budget. The re- maining $102,000,000 was in the budget, in the form of an ad- Vance from the general treasury. In the previous year, this deficit was only $6,000,000.
Payments under federal - pro- vincial tax-sharing and subsidy arrangements were $382,700,000, down $12,700,000 because last year Ontario did not rent its cor- piration tax field to the federal government, as it did formerly.
DEBT CHARGES RISE
Service charges on the public debt — second - largest item of spendi~ng—-were $567,100,000, com- pared with $534,100,000 in 1956-57.
The net debt rose to $11,048,- 300,000. Virtually all of the in- crease was due to the budget def- icit.
Other items in the white paper:
The gross national product-—
value of all goods and services produced — reached a high of $31,4-13,000,000 in 1957. This com- pared with $30,182,000,000 in 1956, but the rise was due more to higher prices than to increased volume of production. ‘ Personal income at $23,142,000,- 000 was up from $21,958,000,000, and consumer spending rose to $19,768,000,000 from $18,697,000,- 000. Labor income was $15,825,- 000,000, up from $14,719,000,000.
Corporation profits dropped to $255,000,000 from $2,602,000,000.

OTTAWA (CP)/— Opposition Leader Pearson Monday accused Prime Minister Diefenbaker of interfering with CBC affairs. Mr. Pearson made his accusa- tion in the Commons in connec- tion with an incident that occur- red here Friday while a C-BC re- porter was lprepafing to interview Visiting Prime Minister Macmil- lan of'Britain.
Press reports of the incident said the CBC reporter in-formed Mr. Macmillan that one question would be whether Britain's free trade proposal would be on the agenda of the Commonwealth Trade Conference this fall. The reports said Mr. Diefenbaker in- tervened by saying “no. no."
The result of this “no, no,” said Mr. Pearson, was that no question about the British free trade proposal was subsequently asked Mr. Macmillan in the in- terview.
CHARGES INTERFERENCE
“That seems to me to con- stitute interference in the affairs of the CBC by the prime minis- ter,” Mr. Pearson said, especi- ally in view of the fact no refer- ence about the free trade pro- posal was made later‘in the actual CBC interview.
Earlier Monday, in replying to Mr. Pearson’s questions, Mr. Diefenbaker said _“there was nothing whatsoever to justify the conclusions that were arrived at in various (press) items regard- ing the matter.”
After Mr. Pearson raised the issue anew later in the day, the
prime minister said: “I have nothing to withdraw in any way.”
“There was no interference
with the CBC.” he reiterated. Mr. Diefenbakex‘ said Monday he was “surprised” to learn of
. questions would be. He had been
the resulting comment. He .... .. termed it “a mountain made out, of a molehill"

He told a clinic of doctors here diabetics “must work hand and long” at their diets and exer- cises.
He criticized a recent magazine article which said diabetics now could control difficult diabetes perfectly by taking a pill.
Dr. Feasby 'said the “actual facts are that only one in 10 can hope to benefit by oral adminis-

“I said ‘no, no'and that ter- minated it thereafter as far as I was concerned.” Mr. Diefen- baker said.
Mr. Diefenbaker did not am- plify his statement to say what he had meant by saying “no, no.”
Mr. Diefenbaker said that inso- far as his government is con- cerned, there has at no time, in- directly or - directly, been any interference with the publicly- owned CBC.
