Mr. Nowlan said the tax cut was purely political'and not an instrument to stimulate the eco- nomy. It was an ineffectual bid for votes in the next election, at the risk of causing financial instability. Farmers had not been helped in any way. At another point he said this was not an election budget. “If it is, the Liberal party ‘is even more bankrupt than I thought it was.” He said the “public rela- tions boys’ did a good job of selling the budget. so it got big headlines and good publicity.
