The total of these increases due to the war should be reduced by $5,475,000 representing the aggregate of special grants to the provinces which were dropped in 1941 and replaced by the arrangements under the new Dominion-Provincial Taxation Agreements. This leaves a balance of $42,063,000. If we add to this the increased cost of unemployment insurance, namely $9,563,000, we get a total of $51,626,000. Some of the increases in the so-called ordinary expenditures of other departments might be regarded as due directly or indirectly to the war, such, for instance, as the $2,795,000 increase by the Post Office Department and the $467,000 for administration of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Regular subsidies to provinces increased by $640,000. Other minor in- creases were: Government Annuities $550,000; Public Works S429.000; Trade and Commerce $1,560,000; and sundry increases $1,780,000. The largest decrease in Ordinary Expenditures was occasioned by the suspension of the special grants to Provinces which amounted to So,475,000. Other decreases are as follows: Agriculture $156,000; Old Age Pensions $300,000; House of Commons $1,060,000; Senate $444,000; Chief Electoral Officer $2,188,000; Indian Affairs $204,000; Treatment and aftercare of returned soldiers $669,000; Pensions,. War and Military, $933,000; Transport $233,000; Sundry $320,000. These decreases aggregate $11,982,000.

16. Total expenditures charged to capital are estimated at $3,357,000 compared with $3,358,000 in the previous year. The main items in this category are expenditures arising out of dredging the St. Lawrence Ship Channel amounting to $1,952,000, and other construction and improvements, including lighting and radio facilities in connection with civil airways and airports, amounting to $1,250,000.

17. Direct war expenditures accounted for roughly three-quarters of the Dominion's total expenditures during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1942. This is, of course, apart from the assistance given to the Government of the United Kingdom by the accumulation of sterling balances or the repatriation of Canadian securities held in the United Kingdom. It is now estimated that Canada's total direct outlays on war account will amount to $1,394,- 033,000 for the past fiscal year. Included in this total is the sum of $42,480,000 charged to Active Assets, of which $18,149,000 represented additions to Loans and Investments and $24,331,000 represented advances to crown corporations organized by the Minister of Munitions and Supply for the purchase of scarce commodities. This total direct war outlay represents an increase of $615,609,000 over the corresponding figure for the preceding fiscal year. The rapid increase in Canada's war expenditures (including amounts charged to Active Assets) is shown by the following table: Fiscal Year 1939-40 $ 127,384,000 Fiscal Year 1940-41 778^424'000 Fiscal Year 1941-42 1.394,033,000

During the corresponding three years of the first World War, expenditures charged direct to war account aggregated approximately $533,000,000. It will be seen, therefore, that expenditures by the Dominion on account of The Budget-Appendix the present war have to date been over four times the expenditures made in the same period of the last war. They exceed by over S603,000,000 Canada's total expenditures for war and demobilization during the whole of the last war. Indeed Canada's direct war outlays during the past fiscal year were less than §300,000,000 short of the total cost to Canada of the last war. 18. If we deduct the amount charged to Active Assets, we get a total of §1,351,553,000 as the estimated total to be charged to expenditures on war account during the past fiscal year. This represents an increase over the previous year of $599,508,000. The amounts expended by the major Departments or Services and the increases over the preceding year may be summarized as follows: - Direct War 1940-41 Expenditures 1941-42 IncreaseDepartment of National Defence-Army Department of National Defence-Naval Service Department of National Defence-Air Service Department of Munitions and Supply Department of National War Services Miscellaneous Departments: s 353.235.000 88.163.000 176.279.000 79.954.000 2.370.000 4.490.000 1.692.000 1.897.000 3.370.000 1.214.000 9.381.000 $ 509.879.000 132.443.000 386.418.000 248.639.000 3.112.000 25.724.000 16.727.000 6.559.000 5.619.000 3.666.000 12.767.000 % 126.644.000 44.280.000 210.139.000 168.685.000 742,000 21.234.000 15.035.000 4.662.000 2.249.000 2.452.000 3.386.000 Pensions and National Health 752,045,000 1,351,553,000 599,508,000 19.

20. Expenditures made by the Department of National Defence, Naval Services, aggregated $132,443,000, which compares with $88,- 163,000 expended during the preceding fiscal year.

Total expenditures of the Department of National Defence, Air Services, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1942, are estimated at $386,418,000, classified as follows: Home War Establishment $ 108,708,000 Overseas Establishment 10,370,000 British Commonwealth Air Training Plan 267,189,000 Departmental Administration.

For the fiscal year 1940-41 Canada's total expenditure on Air Services amounted to $176,279,000. 22. Under the Department of Munitions and Supply expenditures chargeable to the War Appropriation for 1941-42 aggregated $248,639,000, of which administration accounted for $4,939,000 and expansion of industry for $243,- 700,000. Corresponding expenditure during the previous fiscal year was $79,954,000. 23. Expenditures of the Department of National War Services chargeable to the War Appropriation amounted to $3,112,000 during the fiscal year ending March 31, 1942.

Reference has already been made to the fact that included in the total estimated outlays for war purposes during the fiscal year 1941-42 was the sum of $42,480,000 representing outlays made under authority of the War Appropriation Act 1941 and carried forward as Active Assets.
