Special Dispatch to The Star.
OTTAWA, Canada, April 12-Three
significant features characterize Cam
ada's new budget to be presented to
Parliament next week by Finance
Minister Edgar N. Rhodes:
/. 1t will reveal reductions In tar
ifs against very limited number Of
American products, probably not sub
stantial, but quite concession for
Premier Richard B. Benefits high
protectionist government.
May Call Special Election.
2. 1t will show a deficit of almost
$22 900 900 on ordinary account, plus
$50 ,0OO, 900 needed to defray charges
on bonded Indebtedness of the
Canadian national railways, plus per-
haps $40, 100000 for relief purposes.
8. 1t may indicate. by its taxation
provisions, whether Bennett shall call
a general election this year. Canadian
electors will know that election drums
will be beaten If the federal impost
of 2 cents a pound on sugar is re-
pealed or reduced and the excise tax
on liquor and beer is slashed. Com
paratively little other relief from tax
alton is anticipated.
Meanwhile Bennett is personally
studying every detail in the proposed
national public works program to al
leviate unemployment. His regime Is
prepared to expend $50, ,000, 900 to this
end.
Will Be in Strong Position.
Because Canada has never reduced
its gold coverage on its note issue from
40 to so per cent, as agreed at the
World Economic Conference, it will
be in a strong position. Upward OF
$3.50 ,OOO, 900 in new currency may be
issued by the new Bank of Canada,
or Central Bank of Rediscount. This
new currency may be used to reduce
the budget deficit, pay for the public
works schemes or perhaps against this
