OTTAWA, Nov. 3Q -- (cp) _ Roughly 3 Canadian Roman Cath- olic missionaries are expected w try to remain behind the Commun- ist lines in the Chinese civil war that has prompted Canada to warn some 500 of her nationals they should consider evacuation of that country. it was learned today.

External Affairs sources say it is too early yet to tell whether a general exodus of the scattered Canadlans~mostly missionaries and businessmen-in North and Central Chins has resulted from an offic- ial warning that "they should con- sider the desirability of leaving. unless they have compelling res- sons to remain." '

However, it is thought that one or two priests of the Foreign Miss- ionary society ‘have remained in Manchurla and tvzo dozen or so members of the Jesuit Order are in or near the Communist territories in Central China and intend to try to remain with their flocks.

The Communists said in Septem- ber they would welcome mission- aries "if they are not spies."

So far, evacuation is on a person- sl basis that exploits whatever means of transportation there are available.

In keeping with his own warn- ing to Canadians in the Shanghai- Nanking area. Canada's Ambassa- do!‘ T. C. Davis has started evacu- ation of his wife and other wives and dependents from the Napkin; embassy. Mrs. Davis will go to Tokyo. the others to ‘Canada.

OTTAWA, Nov. ZZ-(CPJ- De- fence requirements. cutting two ivnys. are helping keep living cosh. up and are nt least partially’ dini- niing expectations of heavy’ in- conie tax cuts for Canadians in the next. budget. _

The first factor so far is rooted largely in the United States re- armanient program which has an important indirect effect on the Canadian economy‘.

The second stems from a number of indications that next year's dc- fence budget will surpass that for the 1948-49 fiscal year which lii- cluded $251,000,000 in cash and nearly SIOfLflOQOOfI in authority foi added commitments.

The indications include:

l, Disclosure by high de- fence sources that “we have reached the point where we

have to consider buying new equipment" on a scale consid- erably larger than in the past. Equipment. costs this year, for example. run in only l2 per cent.

2. lVlanpou-ei. whose pay and needs eat up 5f! per cent of the budget. is going up slowly and every effort is being made to honsi the rate. The regular for- ces iioiv have about 37,000 men.
