Purpose Clear-Cut

Mr. Low said he would ask the Progressive Conservative party if it is sinister to try to win elec- tion as the government of Can- ada.

He added: "Our purpose has been clear- cut. frank and straightforward

over the years, namely. by truly democratic methods to convince the majority of the people of the country that it is in their best interests to elect a. social Credit government.

Brings Spending To Record High For Peacgime

OTAWA. (CP)-Federal spend- ing in the fiscal year ending March Iii will be almost 35.000.000.000. The government Friday sought parliamentary authority for the expenditure oi 398,211,350 in addi- tion to estimates oi 54.433.466.000 already approved. The supplement- ary estimates, tabled by Finance Minister Abbott. will be the last of the fiscal year.

They brinlz to s4,53l.6B0.000 the amount of government spending in 1953-54 for which parliamentary authority is needed by way of es- timates. Besides. the government will have disbursed around 3300.- 000.000 in old age security pay- ments, which are covered by A special tax. -

Pescetime High

The s4,53l.6B0,000 figure in itself is a. peacetime high. It compares with the all-time peak of s5,332.- 000.000 in the 1943-44 war year. For the coming fiscal year that starts April 1. the governmelit has tabled main estimates of s4,40l,- 75l.000. not including the old age security payments. With later supplementarics. the expenditures for the 1954-55 year could well go beyond the 35,000.- 000.000 mark and possibly top the wartime high. barring a contrac- tion in outlays for defence. Supplementsries were brought down by Mr. Abbott a day after

he annouliced that his annual budget will be delivered April 6. The budget will incllcate the ex- pected total oi government ex-

to be raised, including any tax changes. The final supplementary esti-

mates indicated little in the way of new forms of spending and mainly added additional sumsllere and there for types of expenditure already underway.

The big item-dlrcct defence spending-stays unchanged at about 32.000.000.000. There are no new public works.

Largest Item

Largest items in the supplemen- tary estimates are 338000.000 to be turned over to the govern- ment's superanriuatinn fund as the result of recent pay increases for employees. and s3'l.'I58.894 tomake up the year's operating loss of Lhe agricultural prices support board.

State Secretary Dulles called in Soviet ambassador Georgi Zarubin and handed him what the state department called "a concrete plan."

This is a. detailed program to carry out President Eisenhower": suggestion for an international pool to which nations would contribute some of their atomic materials and know-how for peaceful purposes.

The text of the plan was not made public. but the basic pro- visions of the American proposal are:

1. Creation of an international atomic energy agency by the United States. Russia and atomic powers. including Britain and hence.

2. The agency would take charge of the pool of atomic materials. and would be responsible for safe- guarding It. preventing seizure by any nation bent on war.
