He did not need to, as witness the example of Finance Minister AMxrtt yesterday as he knocked off a percentage here and a fee there. Kvcn the opposition was applauding him. There is no secret to it. It is a political stratagem as old as the parliamentary system itself. Yet it has never jrovn unattractive with age. At the same time, not much of a case can be made against Mr. Ahhott proving that he was motivated by purely political considerations. With or without an election in the offing, he was on firm economic ground in offering his "sunshine budget." Canadians have been saving their, money, with the result that it has gone into industrial development and the country's productivity has increased. Canada, in brief, has become wealthier. With a bigger pot to draw from, Mr. Abbott i able to reduce the percentage of his take and still come out ahead. He has done so with a fine eye for the little niceties. Cigarette smokers will appreciate his gift of four cents off a pack. Radio listeners will be glad to see their own particular fee eliminated. Cheque signers will exult at the demise of their three-cent stamp, and all will rejoice at having II per cent chopped off their income tax. Although it is a budget designed to please the family, Mr. Abbott has remembered to give encouragement to our national industry. In a recent submission to him, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce said : ; "Corporate tax rates at their present levels are so high that they are adversely affecting corporate saving at a time when vast amounts of capital are required not only for resource and other development,' but also to finance a vigorous replacement Of ...obsolescent plant and equipment in order to increase productivity, and to place a more, solid foundation under our current wage rates." ; Mr. Abbott has heeded the advice w ell, particularly as it affects smaller corporations. In doing so, he is' not only encouraging little companies to expand but is also promoting an incentive to start new business. This should do much to increase still further the country's gross national product which Mr. Abbott views so optimistically. To some extent, the Finance Minister must be considered lucky. To be able to produce a painless budget with an election not far off is more effective politically than a thousand brilliant speeches on the hustings.

One of the safest places to work in Canada is an oil refinery. The Montreal East Refinery of Shell Oil Company of Canada finished 1952 with a record of 1.473.395 hours of accident-free performance. Some 700 employees at this refinery worked 380 days without a mishap that caused lost time.

The three Western Allies have poured $3,778,500,000 into West Germany during this period. The amount which the U.S. expects to get ,back is $1,200,000,000.
