| 'Finance Minister has Scored a coup, says Independent Finan- cial Journal -- 'Government travelling Right Road 'in fiscal policy' Bi (From Toronto Saturday Night--TInd) "The Federal Budget announced by Hon Chas. Dunning on May 1st, may be an 'Election budget' or just an an- nual budget, but the dmportant fact is that it furnishes proof that the Minister of finance and the Govern- ment, of Canada are travelling the right road in fiscal policy. It is alse proof that the Govern- ment recognizes a condition that has been apparent for some time--name- ly, that for most Canadians the tariff has ceased to be merley a fiscal is- sue and has become a sentimental issue also. It involves sentiment based not only on resentment at the utterly selfish attitude of United States Con- gress toward that country's best customer and most friendly neighbor but, also on the deeper and finer em- otion which lies back of the move- ment for increased trade with Great Britain, as a contributjon toward the solution of her gnievous internal problem. 23 & Undoubtedly Hon My Dunning afte > er little more than six months' a perience as Minister of Finance, oo ; geored a coup in framing a budget which in its main princivles un-: doubtedly reflects the sentiment of : Canadians regarded as a whole.' : Your Budget "a Lit Beacon on a High Hill," says British Editor to Canada. rt menial 3 LONDON, May 12.--1t is my hope that there shall be built up around Canadian wheat, the walls of an Im- . perial citadel, economically invulner able, whikh will shelter the common interests of England and the Emnire trade' said Major L.
