growth. In addition to the big GOOD TIMES BOOM MEANS NEW EXPANSION, HIGHER PRICES TO COME FOR CANADA. By JAMES NELSON OTTAWA (CP) Canada's good times have turned into a full-fledged boom with further expansion and higher prices still to come, Finance Minister Sharp reported today. For the fiscal year ending March ,31 he predicted a sharp cut in the federal government's budgetary deficit to $34,000,000 --lowest in nine years. It was $38,000,000 in 1964-65 and as high as $791,000,000 in 1961-62. In his budget speech a year ago Walter Gordon, Mr. Sharp's predecessor, had forecast a $300,000,000 deficit vill the cur- rent year. Mr. Sharp tabled in the Com- mons a background paper for his Tuesday night budget which also said: --The current upswing in the business cycle, which began in the spring of 1961, is show- ing signs of maturity. But a there are still strong the pres- sures moving economy ahead. --The $34,000,000 deficit, re- sulting from 1965-66 revenues of $7,873,000,000 and expendi- tures of $7,707,000,000, brings the net debt to $15,538,000,000 or $782 per capita compared with $794 a year ago. --Wage rates advanced more rapidly than in 1964 but prod- uctivity gains were slower, meaning "higher labor costs per unit of output. --Expansion and growth now have become more dependent on' improved productiy- ity, avoidance of bottlenecks, increased mobility, and up- grading the quality of both labor and capital plant and equipment. The review gave no final tab- ulation of gross national prod- uct--total value of all goods and services produced by the coun- try--but said it is expected to be nine per cent higher than 1964's $47,003,000,000, The white paper gave no hint as to what line of tax and spending policy Mr, Sharp may take in his budget. Its projec- tions were based on ay de tax dai 'The economic climate eakaes during 1965 from one ef moderate expansion in the early part of the year to one of boom at present," if said. "This change was brought about by the rapidly rising level of public and private investment superimposed on rising de- mands by consumers, govern- ments and from exports.' There now was little if any slack in the economy and fur- ther expansion would depend on improved use of the country's capacity as well as its steady 'é increase in capital investment forecast for 1966, there would be continued increases in spending by all levels of government and business and consumers. "The productive facilities of the Canadian economy now are close to their maximum raie of utilization, and the present and anticipated rate of expansion in nd annears likely to strain the resources currently avail- able to meet it." As to prices, the report said: Current upward price trends could well persist, un- less significant productivity im- provements emerge to add to the supply capability of the economy or unless the rate of increase in demand should turn out iw be pected," lower them currently expect --~ BOOM TIMES (Continued On Page 2) Home Newspaper Of Oshawa, Whitby, Bowman- ville, Ajax Pickering and neighboring centres' in Ont- ario and Durham Counties.

He said that Ontario's flag-- the red ensign with the provin- cial coat of arms in the fly-- flies in the province "in defi- ance of Canada's flag." He accused the government of adopting the flag as a ges- ture of defiance to the adoption by Parliament of a_ national flag. The prayers read at the open- ing of each day's sitting of the legislature, he said, are "pray- ers of servility and not prayers of humility."

It referred to a conversation between Mr. Marchand and Harry Price, a Térénto insur- ance broker pvho worked for the Conservative party as a fund raiser. MENTIONED GROSSMAN In the letter': Mr. Marchand said of Mr. Price: "He made it a point to men- tion that he was very close. to the new Ontario Liquor Control Board chairman, Mr, Allan Grossman, and that we would find him very co-operative." Mr. Grossman, now minister of reform institutions, was then chief commissioner of the liquor board. The second letter, dated Aug. 20, 1963, was from Mr. - Mc- Dowell to Mr. Marchand. The letters are on file at Os- goode Hall in Toronto as evi- dence in a civil suit brought in 1963 by Mr. McDowell against Melchers, Mr. Bryden said. When Mr. Bryden finished speaking, Mr. Grossman hotly denied that anyone had ever used undue influence on him. He said this case 'thas been held over my head for three years." "During the 1963 election campaign an attempt was made ly blackmail me with that let- er.' | WON'T GIVE NAME | In response to questions from an oath verifying the copies on file, Mr. Bryden said the Mar- chand letter indicated that money had changed hands. The letter said: "After a long discussion. on Ontario politics, Mr. Price 'was given an envelope containing an amount which he had asked for and he seemed very satisfied © with our co-operation." CONTAINED CASH Mr. Bryden said the envelope obviously contained cash. Mr. Grossman called a press conference later and flatly de- nied that Mr. Price had ever discussed with him brands of liquor sold by the LCBO. Mr. Price was unavailable for comment. In his suit against Melchers, Mr. McDowell names two Con- servative party officials and a cabinet minister and claims Mr. Marchand gave the party a large sum of money to secure influence in government circles.
