When a supposed sports columnist is so short of sport new: In a place bop- plng with Brier events that he has to devote most. of a column downgrading his host and province, only three possible explanations occur .

Mr. Farmer said that the gov- ernment is prepared to borrow

to proceed with its proposed programs as outlined in the Budget Speech.

“At the same time." he said, "it is fully recognized that bor- rowing cannot go on forever, but must be considered only as a short-term means of financing policies which cannot be de- ferred pending a balanced bud- get. A deficit must be judged, not for its magnitude. but for its purpose.

“In my opinion, and it is an opinion recognized and support- y experts. a deficit is justi- fied if the money spent increas- es the ability of the economy to produce in the ions I‘lm- Bl’ till! criterion, no one can disagree with the concept of borrowing as a means of financing the ob- jectives which I have emphasiz- ed last year and again this year."
