In his response to the budget speech presented Thursday by Finance Minister Hugh Curtis, the New Democratic Party finance critic said the budget, which calls for a $1.6 billion deficit, was “accidental Reaganism.” . And while it is “couched carefully in the rhetoric of the new right — imported from the United States and Great Britain a few years later — it really is not what it seems to be,” said Stupich. He said the first big lie is that restraint leads to economic recovery; and the second is that the government had no choice but to bring in such a tough budget. Restraint is not the formula for economic recovery, and the budget in fact “will result in a downward pressure on economic recovery both through tax increases and direct job loss to the economy.” Stupich said the budget is a manipulation of an election mandate, and that obviously election debts are being paid off, and handsomely. “There is no other explanation for the sacrifice of farmland and the sacrifice of tenants’ rights as proposed . yesterday (Thursday).” The Nanaimo member of the legislature said he was appalled at Curtis’ inability to come up with correct estimates, especially with all the high-priced help he has on staff. : “Never in the history of the province have revenues been under-estimated anything in the remote vicinity of the$872 million of the year just concluded,” he told the legislature. a we “All of the Social Credit fancy book-keeping in the world can no longer hide the fact that the minister's version was out of whack by at least $1 billion.” POISONED DEBATE Asa result, he said, Curtis has poisoned the atmosphere of debate the and finances by and statements which are not borne out by reality.” Stupich noted that in the past seven years the Social Credit has put B.C further and further in debt. “A total of 104 years of Liberal, Conservative, Social Credit and NDP governments produced $4.4 billion in debt. Seven and a half years of this group has very nearly tripled that figure — $12 billion debt.” The NDP critic accused Curtis of boasting that spending by the Ministry of Human Resources increased by 32.9 per cent last year and a further 18.9 per cent this year. “These expenditures are wasteful of lost production, lost wages and lost spending in our economy,” he said. “They betray and deny the role of government as innovator and catalyst for economic development. They turn ig budget the..public. sector. into the public..dole.. They..maintain , .. ; individuals instead of helping them to develop into human 4 beings.” and “welfare spending begats deficits, begats tax hikes, fee hikes, program cuts and more shrinkage in the economy.” He accused Curtis of leading B.C. on a patch of economic decline with widespread tax increases and wasteful spending on high-priced political hacks, foreign travel and welfare. Begin promises Ultimately, said Stupich, the process turns in on itself market food bills. ; J pleading guilty to red “SHOWTIME »MOVIES Canadian‘News and Sports, Network: - Canadian Charinel | fy es Channel h thet ( ADULT movies. © All Color TV e Queen Beds © Snack Bar'* Direct Dial Phone ‘=== APPOINTMENT seer Inland Natural Gas Co.

A3 B.C. budget slammed VICTORIA (CP) — Econ- omist Jonathan Kesselman says he knows of no other province in Canada where basic regulatory functions protecting the public are be- ing stripped in the manner the British Columbia gov- ernment is using to cut back its civil service. The University of B. o. professor, who s; government finance, also a elimination of such bodies as the Rentalsman's office, mo- tor vehicle examinations and regional ministry offices re- flect “a curious kind of re- straint” that will result in false economies. In Thursday's budget speech and a raft of legis- lation following it, the Social Credit government an- nounced its intention to cut the size of the civil service by one-quarter in progressive steps. Its measures include elim- inating job tenure for about 250,000 workers in public sectors ranging from Crown DESPITE GOVERNMENT BAIL-OUT Maislin verging on collapse MONTREAL (CP) — Mais- lin Industries Ltd., the re- cipient of a controversial $34- million federal loan guar- antee last year, appeared on the verge of collapse Friday, despite official denials that the giant ki esque said company tresurer Alan Maislin told him Friday “95 per cent (of the. company is going to be closed by next week.” Levesque, business mana- ger of Teamsters Local 106, about 800 em- has filed for bankruptcy.

Teamsters International Union official Jean-Guy Lev- TORONTO (CP) — The Canadian government has refused to extradite a con- victed war criminal to the Netherland because his of- fence is not extraditable under the existing treaty be- tween the two countries, says Solicitor General Robert Kaplan. In a letter to the Los Angeles-based Simon Wies- enthal Centre, dated June 28, Kaplan said he had turned down a Dutch government request to extradite the man, hospital patients. Surveys in Ontario, Nova Scotia; New Brunswick, Al- berta and British Columbia showed 80 per cent of those polled reject both extra-billing and hospital user-fees, she said, The new penalties are in- tended to provide flexibility in responding to situations involving what Begin regards as attacks upon medicare. Under the existing act, the federal government's only option for dealing with prov- inces it believes to be vio- lating the spirit of medicare is to withhold completely Ot- tawa’s share of health fund- ing. “It's much too big a stick for the situation,” Began said and could lead to retaliation from provinces which might result in withdrawal of some health care services. Begin said she wanted a range of penalties that would enable Ottawa to levy the “optimum penalty, not to disrupt services.” TO CLARIFY ACT She said the new health legislation would seek to- clarify what constitutes hes of the Begin, who d flus- tered when she learned in mid-phrase that the session was on the record and threatened to “stop speaking freely,” ignored her own warning and went on with a frank discussion of health care issues. PLANS PENALTIES She confirmed her inten- agreement under the act. She also announced health ministry initiatives to tighten controls over non-prescrip- tion drugs and deal with the ia by a special Pak court of justice in September, 1948, of being armed with a firearm, using a firearm and assisting German occupation forces in house searches. The man, a teacher in British Columbia, was a member of a Dutch auxiliary militia that collaborated with the Nazis in rounding up Dutch resistance fighters. He fled the Netherlands at extradite ad ployees, also quoted Maislin as saying the firm was in trouble with its bankers. A woman employee, who asked for anonymity, told The Canadian Press that middle management told workers at Maislin head- quarters here just before the end of the Second World War and was sentenced in absentia to 20 years in jail by the Dutch court. He is al- leged to have been respon- sible for the deaths of an anti-Nazi German and a Dutch resistance fighter, said Rich Macales, a spokesman for the Wiesenthal centre. Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the centre, said Friday he believes the problem is that the extradi- tion request by the Dutch made no direct reference to the murders. In February, Kaplan made a statement indicating that if the Dutch reworded their re- quest, the extradition could be ordered. The centre now is focusing its effort on The Hague for the extradition, Cooper said. A telex message was sent by Cooper on Friday to the Dutch ambassador to Can- ada, urging the Dutch gov- closing time Friday that the company had filed a “propos- ition for bankruptcy in Can- ada and for a Chapter 11 bankruptcy notice ‘in the United States.” ** TALK OF LAYOFFS She said 100 office workers were told they were being laid off, 75 of them immedi- ately. Outside the company gates, employees talked of layoffs in other departments.

He still uses his real name. The man, who lectures at University of British Col- umbia, was not convicted of murder but of helping the German occupation, which included responsibility for the two murders, Brilman said.
