Gardiner said. "that marketing boards have been set up in the Provinces of New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island to market some 2,000 cars of potatoes that remain in surplus. It is suggested that they be marketed two ways. first as table potatoes and sec- ond to the starch factories. r

"In so far as the starch fac- tories are concerned. my under- standing is that they have agreed to take delivery of potatoes at 60 cents a barrel which works out at about 22 cents a bushel. They make a payment of that amount at the time the potatoes are delivered. Then there has been an arrangements to issue in- terim certificates upon which pay-

ment can be made at a later date.

"In other words. it is a co- operative organization set up under the Act of 1939 and we hnve guaranteed that the 60

cents a barrel can be advanced.

-We have also suggested to the

Provinces that we are prepared to make a further payment into the pool at a later date. This further payment will be limited to a certain amount which will permit a higher payment than the 60 cents to be paid. but at the moment, we are not in a posi- tion to say what that will work out at.

"The board will proceed to sell the potatoes at the best price

Income Levy; Cars. 1 Household

Goods Hit

(By George Kitchen, Canadian Press Staff Writer)

OTTAWA, April 10-(CP)-A 20-per-cent jump

in

personal income taxes and stiff increases in levies on cig- arets, tobacco and other commodities, were announced to- night by Finance Minister Abbott in a defence prepared-

ness budget.

He left basic personal ions unchanged-for the tim a 20-per-cent defence

tax on the amount the

income-tax rates and exempt-

e being at least-but slapped taxpayer

already pays through his payroll deductions.

He rejected requests for keep down the skyrocketing

a system of price controls to cost of living.

Nor did he favor an excess profits tax on corporation

earnings.

The new personal defence tax becomes effective July 1 next; the commodity tax changes start immediatelyn Corporation income taxes. along with an increase im-

posed in last September's boost. retroactive to Jan. 1.

The general sales tax-which applies to one-third of the things the average family buys-jumps immediately to 10 per cent from-eight per cent.

Cigarcts go up three cents a package of 20 and tobacco a cor- responding amount. Cigaret. papers and tubes become tax-free.

The special excise tax of 15 per cent on motor cars, radios, furs. jewelry and other luxuries goes up to 25 per cent.

A 15-per-cent excise tax is be- ing imposed on household refrig- erators, washing machines and cooking stoves. It; won't apply to cooking stoves using coal or wood.

Taxes on beer and liquor, increas- ed iast September, remain un- changed.

New tariff changes. effective im- mediately, reduce or eliminate duties on equipment used by tarni- rrs. fishermen and mining com- panies.

Plans Surplus

Mr. Abbott set his sights on a balanced budget and estimated he would end the fiscal year with a 330,000,000 surplus-the sixth con- secutive surplus slnce the end of the second world war. In his bud- get speech last year, he forecast a surplus of s15.000.000 and ended

the year with a surplus of 3203.156.- their candidates for the April 26 oooooo .

Mr. Abbott. placing this 1951-52 budget before a crowded Commons. dealt extensively with the rising cost of living. termed it a "world- wide" problem and again rejected requests for a general system of controls to keep down prices.

The government. he said. still

doesn't think it is time to take:

such measures.

He also hinted broadly at I. gloomy future for the taxpay- er -- with heavier levies-if the international situation doesnit improve. But, if it does. the new taxes may be dropped.

He said frankly that he wants this budget to be regarded as an "interim policy" for this year. If it. become clear that "we are in for a long pull at these high levels of expenditure some major changes in the existing tax structure may have to be devised."

At another point, he made this ominous observation:

"I do not say that we have reach- ed the practical limits of the in- come tax."

Here are the main budget fest- ures:

1. The 20-per-cent defence tax on personal incomes goes into ef- fect July 1 and means that payroll deductions will go up by one-fifth after that date. Revenue yield: 885.000.000 for the remainder of this year and 31.58.000.000 in a full
