The total red ink on government accounts for the seven years since April 1, 1957: $3,569,000,000. Mr. Gordon's preliminary ac- counts for 1963-64 were tabled in the Commons in a white pa- per which sets the stage for his budget speech Monday night. The reduction in the deficit from the previous year's $691,- 600,000 marked the second suc- cessive decline from the peak peacetime deficit of $791,000,000 in 1961-62. But the short step towards a balanced budget was consider- ably smaller than the one Mr.| Gordon hoped for in his first) budget speech last June 13) when he forecast a $585,000,000 deficit. Last July 8, forced into) a major retreat over a new) sales tax on building materials and construction equipment, he revised the forecast upwards to $655,000,000--$30,000,000 short of the deficit reported in the) white paper, EVCONOMY S1..0)u The white paper contained one big sign of optimism for} next year--the view that the! long-lasting economic upswing which began early in 1961) --Budgetary expenditures upja $43,000,000 deficit last year.
