J . L. Ilsley. OfITAWA, April N -(CP) - Dominion revenues for the fiscal you‘ ended March 31, i941, reached the pireccdented total. of $871,571.- 000, Finance Minister Ilsley dis- closed today in the flnancal re- view with which he opened his pres- entation of the third War Budget in the House of Commons. He announced an over-all de- ficit on the year's operations of ap- proximately $395,056,000, “A very large deficit but nevertheless sub- stantially smaller than that es- timated by my predecessor (Hon. J. L. Ralstonl last June." (Col. Ralstonis estimate was $550,000,000 to $600,000,000.) ' Mr. Ilsley intimated that 1n ad- dition t0 the 31.450.000.000 estimat- ed as the total cost of war for the current fiscal year, Canada was pledged to finance the bulk of Bri- tish purchases in Canada estimated at 31500000000 for the curent year. He praised the new arrangement with the United States as a. “mag- nificent contribution to our com- mon struggle" but said it was not by any means the complete answer to Canadas exchange problems. The revenue figures-only es- timatos since the books have not yet been closed 0n the last fiscal year-showed an increase 0f $309.- oooooo over the previous year and were $l00.000.000 greater than the estimate in the second War budget of last Jlmc.

Pm" m" t” Kl“; with President Roosevelt. and announced in the so-celled "Hyde Park declaration." That arrangement was “a drama- tic and magnificent contribution" to the solution of exchange prob- lems with the United States but by no means a complete solution, he said. Restrictions against use of American dollars for Canadian pleasure travel in the United States would have to remain as much as the government would desire to remove them. Hyde Park Agreement The dc Pall: agreement was a. "magn ficent contribution to the success of our common struggle- not to the ease and convenience of the Canadian people," he said, In Shite of all the efforts adopt- ed from the start of War u, the present to conserve foreign ex- change there was a continuously increasing deficit in Canada's dol- lar transactions with the Unflggd St es. 1t was necessary to find Ameri. can funds to pai£$230,000.000 as d1.

April 29 ——(CP) -— Benefits for the lumber industry and investment trusts were includ- ed in the taaxtion changes pro os- ed today by Finance Minister I slsy in his budget for 1941-42. Before the Easter recess, the Min- ister read a statement 1n the House respectin amendments to the ex- cess prof ts tax act, with a view to removing inequities and anoma- lies, and to simplify administrat- ion. - "The changes proposed are not intended and will not result in any general relief from the weight of the excess profits tax," he said in the budget speech. "In fact . . it is proposed to in- crease the minimum rate of tax under this act from l2 per cent to 22 per cent. This. Lekcn with the l8 per cent levied under the in- come war tax act will mean a tax of at least 40 per cent upon the incomes of all corporations." In his budget speech. Mr. Ilsley listed several changes in addition to those he announced before Eas- tcr. One related to the lumber in- duslry‘. Profits in fhe industry, due to ex- pansion of operations from the pre- war level, had increased and were subject to tax at the rate of 75 per cent in addition to provincial tax- ation. Profit remaining was small. “We are satisfied that the lum- ber industry is entitled to some re- Ilcf for these reasons," Mr. Ilsley said. “We have come to _the conclusion that the best way of dealing with the problem. and the most logical, is to pcrlnit on additional allow- ance for depletion on that portion of their production which is in ex- cess of the level prevailing during the standard period." (The stan- dard period referred to are the four years 1930, 1937, 1938 and l9- 39A In the cnsc of companies whose solo ])lll']lfl§ is to hold investments in securities. Mr. Ilsley s1ld:-- “it. is difficult l-o defend a high additional fax in this case where a group of persons hold their invest- ments in collective form rather thnu separately". which they might . d the tax. To elim- lllafc lllls admittr-dlv harsh treat- mcnt it was decided to follow the practice of the United states and exclude investment trusts from the lax entirely." s 1 ;.

Thus by marking use of ia- bor and resources which had been wholly or partly unemployed, about four-fifths of the war expenditures contempzated durin the current year wil be met out of the wartime increase in national income. “There 1 remain for non-mili- tary use s. national income of about 03.35 billions, which. while about 14 Der cent less than the 1937-39 aver- age, is approximately equal to the average of 1936-36.

APril 29-40?)- Wherl President Roosevelt dipped into civil war history records a few days ago to find a. term to apply to Charles A. LAndbergh-me called him n “vallandlgham"—he uncon- sciously selected an incident with a Canadian angle. The President called Lindbergh a “vallandfgharl-l" at a press confer- ence when asked vlhy the anny, in which theflier held a reserve ccm- mlssion. had not called him for ac- tive service, in the present emergen- cy. Mr. Roosevelt inferred that Lind"- bergh. was an apipeaser, an advscate of a negotiated peace, a countelpat ofthe men who told George Wash- ington he could not win the Revolu. tionary War and of Clement L. Val- landigham and others who wanted the north to sue for peace in the civil war because they said the south could nct be defeated. Vallandlghazn was beaten for re- election in November. 1862. by the simple political trick of adding a bis Republican county to his dis- tl-ailor and sentenced by n. military court ~to imprisonment for the rest of tho war. This. however. creator! such. a public oillcry. that President Lincoln commuted the sentence to banishment behind the Confeder- ale lines. After a brief stay in Wilmington, NC. Vallandiglinnl wont to Ber- muda and later to Windsor, Ont, from where he continued his pro-- haganda almost as ef-feclivcly as if I155 were in the United Slates. Can- ada's reception of Vallandighalrn and other manifestations cf sym- pathy with the Confederate cause. long played a deleterious effect on Cnnadian-Annerican relations.
