Finance Minister Harrie re. ported Friday his monthly treasury statement. It will be the last statement made public before he brings down his 1905-56 budget on April 5. Friday's statement added strength to reports that he will re. port a deficit for the full fiscal year ending March 81, the first since the Second World War. The surplus for the first 11 months of the current year is down to s103.2l1.000 from 3310,. 914.000 a year ago. Unpaid bills pile up at the year's end and in 1953-54, the government reported a final surplus of only 340.000.0111. REVENUES DROP Unofficial estimates are that arrls will show a deficit I64-S6.

Speakers from all parties. in- cluding the CCF. refuted the re- marks of Ross Thatcher. Moose Jaw-Lake Centre. and declared that feed grain subsidies now are needed more than ever before. . Mr. Thatcher. a Moose Jaw hardware merchant. said the treasury has paid out S222,000,000 in such subsidies since their in- ception during the Second World War. The original idea was to en- courage farmers to produce more wartime meat for Britain but in his opinion that objective had long since been achieved. He spoke during committee con- sideration of a supplementary es- timate of 52,000,000 which would bring federal feed grain subsidies .10 a total of 319,000,000 for the 1954-55 fiscal year.

Prairie farmers got vast payments under the prai- rie farm assistance and the prai- rle farm rehabilitation acts and Maritime members never com- plalned. George Nowlan (PC-Dlgby-Am napolia-Kings) said the feed grain subsidies provide a bigger return to the Canadian economy than any other government payment. Parliament At A Glance By THE CANADIAN PRESS - Friday The Progressive Conservatives stalled Commons approval of a 328,758,098 appropriation to cover the CNR's 1954 deficit.

Nova Scotla and Alberta mem- bers asked greater federal assist- ance to the Canadian coal indus- try. Ross Thatcher (CCF - Moose Jaw-Lake Centre) questioned the need for federal subsidies on movement of prairie feed grains.

(CPI-Profits of the government": Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation during 1954 made one of the biggest plunges in its nine-year history as expenses rose sharply in the wake of the administration's new hous- ing legislation. The annual report. th e Commons today. showed CMHC net income after taxes dropped to 5898.000 in 1954, less than one-half the 32.235000 of the previous year. President Stewart Bates blamed the drop on sharply-higher ex- penses caused by the new legisla- tion under which CM!-IC apprais- es lending values for the National Housing Act mortgage loans and uses an army of inspectors to scrutinize construction. FEE HELD INSUFFICIENT CMHC charges a 335 fee for in- spectlona. but Mr. Bates said 1054 experience showed the fee in- sufficient. "As a result." he said. "the cor- porationis administrative expenses have risen sharply and the oper- ating profit dropped by about 60 per cent compared with 1958." While the drop was attrlbu mainly to rising expenses. rental revenues shrank as more propert- les were sold. The housing situation was con- sldered highly satisfactory in 1954.
