OTTAWA ((‘Pi—A huge d01- lar sign hangs ominously over the heads of whatever political party governs Canada as a re- sult of Monday‘s federal election—whether the Conserv- atives remain in office or give way to the leci‘als.

Problems of both national and international finance are com- ing to a pomt where deCisions appear urgent. They range through such matters as deter-

mining the pay of post office workers. drafting a new na- tional budget. charting a course for Canada in interna- tional trade and bolstering the treasury of the L’mted Na. lions.

A series of international meetings starting in mid-May

already sets the deadlines for some. major decisions.

On May 13. Commonwealth trade and finance ministers meet in London in preparation for a i av mccllg in G neva of the members of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. On May 14 a special United Nations in New York to save the world organization from bankruptcy, and on May ‘22 the, North At- lantic, countries meet here to study NATO dt‘lr‘nt‘l‘s.
