No exact census of the world's rat population has ever been tak- en. but experts record that these destructive and disease-carrying vermin number in Canada alone over 50,000,000 and destroy food- stuffs to the tune of 20.000.000 pounds. Rats are prolific breeders and the offsprings of a single pair and their descendants runs to over a thousand in a single year.

Although a constant war is be- ing waged between humans and rats the animal continues to live and "ourlsh at the expense of mankind.

Gerald Waring Reporting

O'I'rAWA-Everybody "knows" taxes are going up tonight, when Hon. Douglas C. Abbott brings down his sixth bud-get in five years as Finance Minister.

Yet the contents of the budget are the best-kept secret in the capital.

You can (ind out how much plutonlu.m.- the bang stuff in the Atom Bomb-our super-secret Chalk River plant can make.

You can learn how many atomic bombs the English th-ink the Russians will drop on Lon- don in the first attack.

But you can't discover what Doug Abbott is going to do to our pocket-books until he's ready to tell us. at eight o'clock tonight.

This is all the more surprising

I. A score of government of- ficials have helped prepare the budget.

2. Government stenographers have seen parts of it as they stencilled it.

3. The Cabinet has known its contents since noon today.

4. In branches 0-' the Bank of Canada right across the country there are sealed bundles of copies of the budget to be opened and distributed when the Minister speaks in the Commons.

.5. Eighty odd newspapermen will have read the budget speech lour hours before the Minister delivers it.

Thus there would seem to be ample opportunity for a budget leak. But budget secrecy is a tradition which has rarely, if ever. been broken in Canada. Fifteen years ago a Cabinet Minister was said to have leaked information on a change in the tax on sugar. but it was never proven. Six

years ago a arm of Toronto fur- riera "announced" that the exclal tax on certain furs would be re- duced trom 25 to '10 per cent.

The Government investigated this supposed leak thoroughly. and was satisfied with the Iirm's- assertion that its knowledge was just a guess which happened to be right. '-

The British, from whom we in- herited the tradition of budget se- crecy. have had serious instances

was the case of Hugh Dalton. who resigned as Chancellor of the Ex- chequer after an incauiious word to a newspaper-man had enabled the reportetspsper to publish news at a tax change before it was announced. I O I

The tradition of budget secrecy started in the days beiore income tax, when tax changes meant changes in customs and excise im- posts. Then speculators could reaip huge gains if they had prior knowledge of the budget.

Probably no direct harm would be done if word 01 tonight's in- come tax increases leaked out in advance. But if excise taxes on luxury goods are increased to- night. as many expect. anyone with advance knowledge of the changes might reap unfair pro- fit. So the rule .is strict secrecy.

O 0

Perhaps the most surprising activity in connection with the budget is the practice of Ottawa newspnpermen to allow themselves to be locked in I so-called "scal- ed chamber" with copies of the budget speech four hours before the Minister delivers.

That way newsmen can digest the speech leisurely, question of- ficials of the Departments of Finance and National Revenue on diff-icult passages, and write their stories in advance. On the other hand, the government benefits from more thorough and intelli- gent reporting of the budget than ii; would receive it the press had to wait until the budgets actual delivery in the Commons to get the news.
