(budget deficit of $345,500,000 in the last fiscal year -- the fourth red - ink year in a row--was reported today by Finance Min- ister Fleming. The deficit for the year ended March 31 contrasted with -the $12,000,000 surplus forecast by the minister in his original bud- get March 31, 1960. With the recession, revenues slumped and expenditures jumped from his original pre- dictions and last Dec. 20, in his baby budget, Mr. Fleming changed his forecast to a $286,- 000,000 deficit. The story was told in a white paper tabled in the Commons by the minister as the stage- setter for his budget speech next Tuesday night. The white paper accounts-- i [still preliminary since 1960-61 books aren't yet closed--showed the fourth - highest peacetime deficit on record. The four-year string of deficits since April 1, 1957, totals $1,406,500,000 includ- ing the peacetime peak of $609,- {1300,000 in 1958-59. J REVENUES, COSTS, UP Budgetary revenues climbed { |six per cent in the year to 1$5,615,600,000 from $5,289,800,000 the previous year. Expenditures ? rose five per cent to $5,961,100,- ; 1000 from $5,702,900,000. Both were at all - time highs. The economic growth Mr. Fleming predicted 15 months ago didn't materialize. Gross national product registered a 4 |below - normal gain of 3.2 per cent to $35,959,000,000 in the 1960 calendar year from $34, 857,000,000 in 1959.

Ex- penditures exceeded the figure in his first budget by $81,100,- 000 though they were $18,900, Consumers Assisted OTTAWA (CP) -- Canadian | consumers with their fatter wal- lets, bigger demands and freer | spending helped bolster the eco- inomy last year at a time when {things might haye gone badly, the government said today. | Finance Minister Fleming's {pre - budget white paper, tabled In the Commons, made clear | that higher expenditures at var- lious levels of government and ja record year for exports also had much to do with sustain- ling the economy. | Still, the consumer gets much | money than in 1959 -- a picture {true even of farmers.

He bought more food, more clothing, more new cars, liquor, |cigarets, household electricity and gas, while cutting down |slightly on outlays for second- {hand cars and furniture and ap- | pliances. | PRODUCTION ROSE | Such increased consumer spending and bigger shipments of goods to export markets happened while imports -- in | volume -- remained. roughly un- changed. The result was that Canada met its own increased demand -- and production went {up accordingly This sustaining of the econ- omy was reflected in a 3.2-per- cent rise in the value of all goods and services produced--- the gross national product--to $35,959,000,000 from $34,857,000,- {000 the year before. Mr. Flem- tivity was continued; on the other hand there was also a high level of unused capacity, human and material. It is al- ready apparent that there was an unusual conjuncture of eco- nomic forces, some of a special nature, others recognizably 'cy- clical,'" and still others of longer - term character." The sore spot was unemploy- ment. Over - all average employ- ment rose during the year by 1.7 per cent or 100,000 jobs. Meanwhile the labor force went up by 2.8 per cent or 175,000 POLST Thus, with During Bad Times rise outstripping the employ- ment gain, the average number of Canadians out of work for 1960 as a whole was 448,000 against 373,000 in 1959. There also were other factors. Construction activity was down five per cent, a drop blamed entirely on a 17 - per- cent decline in house building. An excess capacity described by the report as temporary ap- peared in some of the raw ma- terial industries. There were Recession Blamed For Red Budget 000 less than the Dec. 20 bud- get expectation. The white paper blamed the calendar for playing one trick with the accounts. It said that with the March 31 year-end falling on Good Friday, much of the last - minute rush of in- come tax returns weren't filed until after the holiday weekend. It reckoned March revenues were about $40,000,000 below normal and said the year's de- ficit was that much higher as a result. FUND HAS SURPLUS The report also showed that the Old Age Pension Fund, which finances the $55 monthly pensions to all 70 and over, turned up the first surplus in its 10-year history. The fund, which operates out- side normal budgetary ac- counts, paid out $592,400,000 in pensions but took in $603,100, 000 from the three special taxes earmarked for the fund. The re- sulting $10,700,000 surplus was eased to whittle down a $28,- 000,000 deficit carried forward from the previous year. What's left is covered by a temporary loan from Mr. Fleming's trea- sury. Counting pension fund oper- ations, the government's total spending in the 1960-61 year was $6,553,500,000 and its rev- enues $6,218,700,000. The government's accounts didn't feel the full effect of the Personal wad corporation in- strong gains even thoughagy poration profits fell six pe % to $3,200,000,000 in 1060. 40} was due in part to higher in the 1959 budget that we, effective for the whole of "wl - previous fiscal year, and in part to the fact that substantial amounts were collected on ac- count of 1959 corporation pro- fits. PICTURE MIXED The white paper's review of the economy in 1960 showed a mixed picture. The 3.2 - per - cent gain in gross national product com- pared with a six - per - cent ex- pansion in 1959. The general price level rose 1%; per cent--a more ' moderate climb than in recent years -- and two-thirds of the rise in national product was an actual gain in physical output. The main economic pinch was on the job front. Unemployment for the year averaged 448,000 -- seven per cent of the labor force -- com- pared to 1959 average unem- ployment of 373,000 a six-per- cent rate. A one - per - cent rise in the number of people at work didn't keep pace with a 2.8 - per - cent jump in the la- bor force. One economic mainstay was consumer spending, which rose to $23,409,000,000 from $22,482. 000,000.
