In his budget speech reporting on the year 1043-44 which ended March 3il last, Mr. Ilsley disclos- ed Canadian Governmental paying and receiving had touched an- other new high in dollar figures. continuing the climb begun with the outbreak of war. Total revenues were 32.855.701.- 000 against 02.319.400.000 the pre-. vious year and the total expen- ditures, $5,300,122.00 against $4,- 387,124,000. The figures are not final as books have not been closed. but they represent a close estimate of the actual year's financing. The Dominlons total cash re- qulrements for the year amounted to 85.841.000.000. greater than the total expenditures, because of ad- vances on war purchases, payment of indebtedne abroad, purchase of securities. foreign exchange and other assets. Mr. Ilsley said the total revenues include 155,000,000 in the refund- able por ions of the income and excess profits taxes which go to add to the debt. After taking ac- count of these he arrives at the year's cash deficiency of $2.086,- 000.000. “It is this cash deficiency. not the budgetary of our bor- es the rowing requirements and it is of- ten much the larger amount." said Mr. lisiey.
