The most vulnerable features of
the Abbott budget are the increase
of the sales tax and ' the special
taton refrigerators, washing iva-
• chines and eoeltstoves', and the
. Opposition at Ottawa is concentra-
ting its lire upon. these. It is to
be borne in mimic however, that
there is a dual purpose in ,the
budget: one to raise the money
needed for •defence 'purposes, the
other to create 'a trend' against
inflation, If prospective" buyers
hold off purchases .in face of ,the"
higher taxation, that will be a
curb en inflation, which is the re-
-8111r ' of' -it greater -demand -than -4
goods to meet the demand. If in
spite of the "increased' taxation they
still make" purchases as usual,
Government seventies will benefit.
Most .criticisms ' of the budget
ignore the necessity of raising a
large amount of additional revenue•
to meet the costs of defence. At
the last session of the Ottawa.

as. the key point .of resistance ..to

Arthur name is a .power in the

degree of courage for lir:' Truman

St. George's . is a fairly new
church -•-.I think it was built about
twenty five ydars, ago. However,
the original church, which' is now
used as Northern Library, war
dedicated in 1909 as. Eglinton Pres-
byterian Church, the: ,first perinan-

though there' atm records*', of a
Methodist congregation as early' as.
1832; the' Presbyterians .do not .seem
to have organized until about 1889,
when a mission was established.
And„ of course, in those days. Eglin-
ton was a separate m'uiaicipelity and
quite a trip "from the city' How-
ever, the present congregation and
building are a far cry from those
days. St. George's is one of the

a forceful figure .'in Parliament.
He was with Mr. Churchill in
Britain's 'wartime Cabinet, and
when Labor took over the Treas-

Mr. Churchill's tribute to him as
one of the best of Britain's Foreign
Ministers gives him a well deserved
,place in the annals ' of British
political 'life.
among its xtumbers.. a most

I felt that the loudness defeated its
own' puirpose, rucking him harder,
rather than easier, to understand.
,His English was extremely good,
as he liad studied , in' the, States,
but he had a strong accent 'which
also made him difficult to , under-
stand. I am not mentioning these:
things in a critical spirit, but rather
to rexplain why . I cannot tell you
uore°of what he said.
"I have just' been reading a ,.bit
about the . history of Korea, too.
It is an old country and was thriv-
ing before the Middle Ages,' when
it came under Chinese control, It
was taken many times by Japan but
returned each time 'to China: It
was one of,,, the battlegrounds dur-
ing, the Russo-Japanese war. In
1904, , the Japanese promised pro-
tection to the Koreans, but id 1940
it became a part of Japan and. re-

deferential manner in which' Dr.

elections have, not been, possible in
the North, orth but there wer elections
in the South in 1948. The North.
hits had war supplies for some tine ,
but the South' had not. Then came
the invasion ,on, June 25 of .last
year, In three days the„ Commun-
ists swept over the country. Dr,,
Han again., escaped. He has seen
ehurches and whole cities destr'dyed
and people shot 'before his eyes, and
many Christian ministers killed or
"liquidated.” I think, it was in Dr.
Han's own 'congregation that 500
families of the •1400 lost their
,homes.' In one city,. which was
called the Jerusalem of. Korea, there
are only four or live -ministers left,;
and 80 per cent, of those in the.
