Cabinet Prunes Estimates For Budget Week Start
The Cabinet ended its review of the Budget estimates for the flat week of the session starting September 6. It is believed all estimates were pruned due to defence needs consuming about £32,000,000. The defence cost adds £18,000,000, with £10,000,000 from Commonwealth loans, £5,000,000 from extra tax, and £1,600,000 from general estimates adjustments. The Commonwealth faces a difficult financial year, and Prime Minister Mr. Menzies briefed ministers on banking talks linked to the team programme in his role with the Loan Council.
