amputated relief from taxes is discussed there is considerable curiosity in ottawa about the likely relief for taxpayers as a result of the end of the european war and this is stressed now duo to the fact that it has been raised in the political campaign however it can be re ported that when parliament met during its last brief closing season it did not have the time for the presentation of the annual budget so that the taxpayers of canada may know their verdict since only supply was provided by passing estimates for the fiscal year 1944- 1915 with the total of war and mutual aid expenditures plus loans and advances chargeable to war appropriation reaching the sum of 4652378000 compared with a total of actual expenditures for the pre vious twelve months of 4678929- 000 or a decrease of merely 26551 000 in other words whatever taxa tion relief or changes resulting from the end of the european war would be possible could not je known since the budget alone pro vides the ways and means- of the governments intentions to collect from the taxpayers and no- budget could be presented before the disso lution of parliament on april 17 1915 nevertheless at the time that these estimates of expenditures for canada during fiscal year 10441945 were calculated it was stated in ottawa that the general principle was followed that our direct and indirect war expenditures would keep up during the next five months at approximately the rate at which they had been running during the last five or six months when the war against germany was at its height- of intensity as suming that there would be no change in major policies and no fundamental changes in conditions consequently when the next annual budget is given in ottawa after the coming general election on june 11 it may reflect itself in taxation changes on account o the end of the european war and a cioser approach to a peacetime scale i at least to some marked extent a report in ottawa has disclosed what similar act might not be established in canada in the near future in view of the loud com plaints along parliament hill that canadas members of the house of commons do not get adequate com pensation in the 4000 sessional indemnity paid each year and sub ject to taxation john grierson government film commissioner revealed in ottawa that the work of the national film board has been expanded to such an extent that no less than 300 films a year are now being produced here be ing second only to the united that an orderincouncil has been states army in the number of short published by which
