llPC Party Annual Meeting

May Influence Tax »

OTTAWA (CPI —— This week's Progresalve Conservative an- nua‘ meetin may have a hear- ing on whether or not the gov- ernment will move towards sub- stantial tax cuts before the win- ter snows dissolve.

Tax cuts were urged on the government last week by two influential bodies, the Canadian Manufacturers Association and the Canadian Chamber of Com- merce. They also are in the wind in the United States.

The problem facing the fed- eral government. as the politi- clans see it. is as much political as it is economic. Will the poli- tical attractiveness of tax cuts for individuals outweigh the po- litical detriment that might

come from incurring a big defi.

Cit.

When the government intro- duced its e m e r g e n c y fiscal measures last June to meet the foreign exchange crisis. it said they would contribute to a bal- anced budget. the government's long-range objective.

October. Finance Minister Nowlan forecast that the deficit

for'the current fiscal year. end-.

ing next March 31. would be (570.000.000, or $175,000,000 less than the former finance minis-

predicted last Apr:

I The import surcharges have lresulted in a considerable boost. in indirect tax revenues. The impetus given Canadian indus- ytry by the devalued dollar and |other government measures is gradually'increasing the flow of tax money into the federal treasury and wit continue to do so under present tax rates.

l !SEE REDUCTION ‘ The politicians. as a result. ican see a continued reduction tin the deficit. However. the urg- .ings of political instinct as well las the manufacturers and :commerce chambers for sub- lstantial tax cuts are attractive. Just how effective the. argu- ments on either side of the ques- tion might be among the voters is the question to be assessed when the Conservative party's annual meeting convenes Thurs- day. It is felt the 1.500 delegates and 1.500 alternates. guests and observers attending should be a good cross-section of Canadians supporting the government. ax rate reductions affecting individuals have been modest since the Conservatives first

of the government's tax change policy has been on the side of prompting economic expansion through encouragement of busi- ness and industry in indirect tax measures.

Now. in Canada as in the U.S. the government is receiving rep- resentations that income tax concessions for individuals and corporations would be a new in- centive to take advantage of the climate for expansion created in the earlier budgets.

HEARS VIEWS

Finance Minister Nowlan. who says the 1963-64 budget will be brought down in Parliament earlier than usual. currently is receiving briefs and the views a wide range of Industrial and other interests.

Once these have been digested and the views of his depart- mental advisers and the politi- cians correlated, he will be able to set the tax policy for the new year. Drawing up budget then is a relatively easy procedure. Submitting it to Par- liament and awaiting reaction from the public and political op- ponents is one of the anxious

As the negotiators return to Brussels for another weary round of talks and reporters delve deep for a new way of telling readers for the ump- teenth time that this finally is the crunch—the true moment of decision — everything seems to depend on the lonely man in the Elysee Palace.

It Is as clear as anything can be that Britain will stretch every nerve and make every reasonable sacrifice to enter the European Common Market.

Heath Arrives For New Talks '

BRUSSELS (Reutersl — Ed- ward Ileath. Britain's chief Ed- ropean Common Market negotia- tor. arrived here Sunday for talks starting the decisive lap of Britain’s bid to Join the six-na- tion trade bloc.

Neither Britain nor. the Com- moo Market countries have set a deadline for the negotiations resuming here today but it was generally recogniud that a final solution must be found within

next two months. The nego- tiations between Britain and the "six" have been going on for 14 months.

The vital problem of British farming was due to be dis cussed on the last two days of the five-day meeting. But oh- servers did not expect the is- sue to be solved fine in

present negotiating . Heath held preliminary talks

here Sunday night with Dutch Foreign Minister Josef Luis.

"He Is nostalgic for the time when Europe was itself History. when it made History.

"This is the Europe of nations each with its own earth. its own dead. its own soul."

EXCLUDES BRITAIN

For de Gaulle. such a Europe does not include Britain. There Europe. there are the "Anglo-Saxons." In de Gaulle‘s eyes. the United Kingdom has n undamental preference for the sea. the Commonwealth and the United States.

The Nassau agreement be- tween President Kennedy and Prime Minister Macmillan ap- pears merely to have strength- encd this view.

Thus once more the man whom playwright Jean - Paul Sartre called "this mountain of silence" is defying the Anglo- Saxom. Just. as in wartime he often exasperated President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill. so now he vexes not only Britain but a United States which regards British member- ship in Europe as indispensable
