OTTAWA (CP) -- Government policy-makcrs are considering the possibility of reducing taxes in the 1955-56 budget. despite indication! that such a move would result in a large deficit. in high informant said Monday.

If the decision is taken to reduce taxes. cuts would be directed to- wards coiporations and business gcncrally rather than to the individ- util taxpayer. the informant said.

The view receiving consideration in the government is that the dis- advantages of a large deficit likely to result from tax reductions might be outweighed by the advantages of encouraging greater economic activity and employment which would give the whole country an economic lift.

PREPARE ESTIMATES

Currently. federal departments are preparing an estimate of their financial needs for the next fiscal year starting April 1. 1955.

Here are some of the things that may happen in the next budget;

i. Defence spending may be cut. The defence department was allo- cnted 51.908.000.000 from the cur- rent year's budget. but might not spend all of that. Next year. if the international situation permits. defence spending may be cut by several hundred million dollars.

2. The public works budget may be increased. The works depart- ment not 8151.000.000 for spending in the current year. But the feeling is that the 0l5l,000.000 is insuffic- ient to provide for an expanded works program now being pre-

t i

Dnrefl by federal authorities. DEFICIT INDICATED

The whole concept of budget planning has taken a new turn withi indications that the government. this year will have I deficit. the first since 1945-46.

The view is that while the gov-. crnmcnt is concerned over the pos-i sibilily of I deficit, it does not? feel that a deficit of less Sl00.000,000-which is likely for thel current year-will have any serious impact on the Canadian economy.l

In his final budget last Spring. former finance minister Abbolit forecast a surplus of 34,000,000 for. the current year.

Drapeau. youngest of nine candi- dates in the race. took ihe'lead almost from the outset and gained steadily in the election. marked by violence and widespread attempts at impersonation in the polls.

CLAIMS VICTORY

With official returns far from complete, Mr. Drapcau claimed victory on the basis of returns

reaching him from his party work- era.

In a radio broadcast he. described the result as a "victory of the peoplcA,vour victory. not mine." He said he would wish for nothing more than unanimous support of the people.

Drapeau. making his first bid for offic in the municipal field, was unsu cessful in a number of at- tempts to gain election to Parlia- ment.

Drapeau came into prominence recently when Mr. Justice Fran- cois Caron brought. clown a judg- ment cllmaxlrig a 3'.'z-year inquiry into vice conditions in Montreal. Drapelu and Pacifiquc Plante. who also gained the reputation uf a vice-buster. served as counsel for the petitioners who launched the inquiry.

The voting was marked by vio- lence punctuated by a volley of revolver shots.

The violence resulted in minor injuries to two persons. including I constable who was struck on the head by I telephone torn from a desk in an election committee room. One man. identified only as a wrestler. was arrested for al- legedly trying to "rough-up” I can- didatl-.

Police said strong-armed men. some of them swinging baseball bats. struck quickly at committee rooms of candidates and disap- peared before patrol cars could be summoned.

Vishinsky Declares New Pacts Increase Tension

By WILLIAM IIARCOURT X Canadian Press Staff Writer . UNITED NATIONS. N.Y, tCP)-.i Russia's Andrei Vishinsky Monday attacked the recent London and Paris agreements on West Ger- many as increasing instead of less- ening international tension.

”Can it be suggested that the London and Paris agreements for the restoration of the German Wehrmacht-for the setting up of an army of 500.000 strong under the command of Hitlerite generals bent on revenge -- can be recon- ciled with the tdisarmamentl task over which we are laboring here?"

Vishinsky attacked the agree- ments near the end of a long! speech on disarmament in the UN's political committee. At the same time, Vishinsky said Russia and the West had come closer in- gelhcr on the disarmament prob- lcm.

EXPECTS SAME STEPS

"The Soviet Union. having for its part taken steps to bring our positions closer together. expects that corresponding steps will be taken by the Western powers."

Meanwhile India's V. K. Krishna Mcnon circulated a resolution to the delegates calling on the UN disarmament commission to seek establishment of a disarmament truce bendingi agreement on a disarmament treaty.

The major part of Vishinsky's address answered questions on the Soviet position disarmament put to him by delegates during the two- week debate.

FOUR MAIN POINTS

The Soviet reply included these points:

1. Russia favors a reduction by one-third of the armaments and armed forces of the great powers instead of the balanced reduction proposed by West.

Vishinsky said history shows that "balance nf power is the road that lead to the jaws of war.” It has nothing to do with the problem of preventing another world war rind
