CANADA REDUCES DEFICIT

BUT UNEMPLOYMENT STILL SEVERE DUNNING'S

WARNING

Ottawa, Feb. 25.

of

Mr. Charles A. Dunning, Finance Minister, presented a new Budget to the Dominion of Canada to-day, re- vesting that the fiscal year ending March 31 yielded revenue of $452,- 123,100, while expenditure totalled $539,618,000, leaving a deficit SBZ

of the

previous year,

which was $159,000,000. Mr. Dunning deplored the new "get-rich-quick" psychology. "If we judge from the activity of brokerage houses and the rapid

of the stock market, and ratio of stock prices to earnings, we are forced to recognise a revival of the spirit which proved so disastrous in the pre-depression years. I hope that adequate measures may be taken to keep unsound development in check," he sold.

The five per cent, decrease in re- lief roils had been discouragingly small, he said. He

was afraid that the hard care of unemployment and relief would always remain.

The recent trl-party financial understanding had helped to stabilise international economies, Mr. Dunning concluded.-United Press.
