Special Account of Defence Dept. Grows Despite Criticism

OTTAWA (CPI-A defence do partment special account, whose operations have drawn the critic- ism of auditor-general Watson Sel- lgr. has grown by D5i0W.0w in Int last year.

A white paper tabled Monday in the Commons by F' ce ter llarris discloses that the na- tional defence equipment account now totals 82'79.000.000 compared with S27-1.000.000 at March 31. 1955.

When the Canadian armed forces give to European NATO allies equipment acquired before 1050. they" receive a credit-the value of the equipment given away-which they may use in future to replace this equipment out of new produc- tion. In practice. this has applied almost entirely to the army. suocnsrs REVIEW

Officials predicted a year age the fund would decrease as army shipments to NATO countries of pie-I950 equipment got smaller.

-But, they said Monday. more pre - 1950 equipment was given may in the 1955-56 fiscal year

than expected. The equipment was valued at 354,000,000 and thus the army got a credit of 354,000,000 to spend for new equipment in the future. At the same time, 349.- iaiooo was withdrawn from the sgcount.

,In his report on the govern- inent's 1954-55 financial operations. Mr. Sr.-liar. Parliament's watchidi: of government spending. suggest a;revicw be made of all special recounts "to the end that a suit- future practice is estab- lishcd."

IENT OLD EQUIPMENT

lilr. Sellar's main point is that the army receives credit for equip- nient shipped abroad in one fiscal yasr but doesnt have to spend that money in the same fiscal year. He said:

". . . the section (in the 19R Defence Appropriation Act) seems to have as its purpose that of ap- propriating money . .- . without limiting the spending power to a particular fiscal year." Asidelight on the account k that Canadian arms shipments to NATO allies comprised 354.000.1100 north or pre-1950 equipment in the last fiscal year and 3121.000!!!
