Macdon- nell, the on '” 'e financial cri- tic. said Tuesday night Finance Minister Harris' tax cuts are "pleasant" but getting away from reality.' He said the tax reductions should not come out of a deficit or be borrowed. They should come from savings on expenditures. The Progressive Conservative member for Toronto Greenwood described as inflationary the way in which the tax cuts were ob- tained. saying it was contrary to policy adopted in the United King- dom and the United States. Mr. Macdonnell referred to Mr. Harris' forecast of ,a 81s0.000,000 deficit for 1955-56 with a drop in tax revenue of S148.000.000. N0 COMFORT He said the budget contains "nothing to comfort the people of the country who are suffering at the present time." It was a blow to Canadians with fixed incomes. Referring to his quip last year that former finance minister Ab- bott's last budget was a "swan song." he described Mr. Harris' speech as something "breaking out of a shell." He said Mr. Harris had indicated is a speech in Montreal last No- vember that there would be some tax reductions this year. "I was dizzy then and I'm a little dizzy now.'-' he said. UNEMPLOYED NEGLECTED Mr. MacDonnell said the unem- ployed were neglected In-the bud- et g . "You can't eat this budget." he said. A deficit was not a good thing Ford Co.

Mr. sale said the changes should serve to stimulate business gen- erally and he added that the re- in duclion in tax on cars was parti- rularly welcomed by the automo- bile industry. The qar tax reduction. he said. "removes the uncertainty which has bottleneckad new car sales in Canada for several weeks past." Mr. Sale said customers were willing to place orders but asked their dealers to delay delivery until after budget day. UIC NAMII PR0 ) OTTAWA (CP) - Appointment of F. 6.

(CP) - Sir Winston Churchill, the old lion of eternal England. resigned Tuesday as Britain's prime minister and cleared the way for an early gen- eral election. Blinking back the tears at times. Churchill drove to Buckingham Palace and handed his resignation to the Queen in a traditional cere- mony. He will be succeeded by Sir Anthony Eden, three times foreign secretary and for 13 years Church- lll's understudy. It was an historic occasion. Emotions too big for words must have played in the old man's mind as he acted out his last great scenes as one of the acknowledged statesmen of the age. On his return from the palace to Downing street-his residence as chief of government for a total of eight years. seven months and 25 days-the 80-year-old descend- ant of the Marlboroughs stood flushed and trying to control the fears.
