Stevens blames Turner Wasaga candidate raps Family view for tax spendinghikes By SINCLAIR STEVENS MP YorkSlmcoe Wve seen quite bit lately of John Tamer the fairhaired Liberal who left the Trudeau cabinet so mysteriously last year The former finance minister has appeared before service clubs and civic organizations recently delivering addresses aimed aginast excessive government spending it is topic about which Mr Turner knows plenty in fact Im tempted to say he wrote the book on the subject During the period in which Turner was minister of finance from January 1972 to Sep tember 1975 spending by the federal government jumped 998 per cent To put it another way it took us 105 years to reach federal spending level of $17 billion 44 million John Turner doubled that figure in 44 months taking the level of governmental spending in his brief term to twice that reached by federal governments since Confederation As said before Mr Turner is an expert on emptying public coffers SOARING INFLATION Under the budgets that he brought into the House of Com mons and subsequently adopt ed under the direction of the Liberal government $113 billion of taxpayers money was billion spent or at least borrowed When Turner took over from Edgar Benson inflation was runmng at 49 per cent When heleft it was 106 er cent Under Turner cost of liv ing Aumped 385 per cent and the ollar if one assumes it to be worth 100 cents in January 1972 was worth only 72 cents when he walked out There are other aspects of the Turner record the former finance minister should be ex plaining to Canadians At the time John Turner was given the mantle in January 1972 there were 544000 poop out of work When he left 732000 Canadians were un employed In spite of the record spending and in spite of all the measures he took to promote employment in business only 69000 obs were created in the manu acturing sector from December 1971 to December 1975 In 1972 there was surplus of $700 million in our current ac count balance the equivalent of our countrys chequin ac count in international tra In 1975 there was deficit of almost $5 billion In the ag gregate since John Turner took over the nation has had cur rent
