Not many business men make good in politics. Not many politicians make good finance ministers. Not many finance ministers invariably have good result? to report. And no finance ministers at all, excepting Honorable John Hart -of British Columbia, can say they've brought down nineteen annual budgets. The fact that John Hart is premier of Uritish Columbia is almost incidental to his being minister of finance. He had been in the house so long, he had handled his department so well, he wa.1?.

Many an opposition leader or financial expert oif the speaker's left has tried to analyze a Hart budget and make political capital by discovering ended in the discomfort of the critic, for the Hart budgets have stood the test of time and the year's end so often found the minister reporting the results a little better than he had antici pated that a man's assignment to the it is studied, and Hart is naturally prince rupert boy friendly and courteous -is to disarm continued from Page l his critics with evidence of genuine bttome interest in them as human beings and mon lh!n5 in what they are doing or where they're -some times she would hear trving to go.

UNITY BEGINS WITH "U" We all realize, now, that we must have unity between the UrUted Nations if we are to win this war and prevent another. 14 y , " But do we realize that we cannot have unity hetwfen the nations without unity within them? Ur.lty does not mean that we must all think alike. It does mean that we must respect the thoughts and rights of others, and that we must be prepared to stick together. Unity, like charity, begins at home! What you and I say over the back fence multiplied bySvhat all Canadians like us are saying that is publfc ' opinion,, lfre we personally building or breaking down unity? Do 'we .like to pick holes In our fellow citizens who go to different .'churches, belong to different races, believe In dlf-ferentjlltical creeds? Do e like to repeat funny (but malicious) stories about the British, the Americans, the Russians and our other allies? Ottawa, Washington, London, Moscow cannot make us united unless we truly want to be. Nations are group? of people -you and me multiplied, We are a democracy. It's up to us. Unity begins with "U."
