Premier Drew urged study by all Canadians of the purposes of com- munism and of organizations such as the Federation for Reconcilia- tion. the Women's League for Peace and Democracy and “others with vague names" which took ad- vantage of well-meaning people anxious to aid a. worthy cause but in reality failing into the Ccm- munist pattern.

His evidence indicated the utilization of freight cans in this service was hampered by the fact there had been no major improvement in the speed of load- ing elevators in the last l2 years. Another source of delay in the handling of freight cars, he told the Board. came when cars carry- ing export products were held up at ports awaiting ships. He men- tioned Hallfax and Saint John.

OTTAWA. May 6 _- (OP) J. M. Macdonncll. Progressive Conservative financial critic and member for Muskoka-Ontario. said today in the Commons Fin-i ance Minister Abbott had done nothing in his budget to help, the “great classes" of people tvllo, did not, pay income taxes made their financial contribution though indirect levies. The position of these people, said Mr. Macdonneil was “wors- ened if anything" by the budget. which placed emphasis on reduc- tion in income taxes and lcft other levies generally unchanged i Launching the traditional bud- get debate, he welcomed ivhst Mr. Abbott had done for the "middle- income" mun. who earned from $2.000 to $7.500 yearly. It had been said that while the middleq income man was strong, the state j was strong. But, he was more concerned about, things that had not been done. Those who paid their taxes indirectly were “sufferlng“ because they become imbued dur- ing the war with the idea that the “big money" would continue and that prices would be kept down. , Finance Minister Abbott had} left the people with the feeling that everything was going good and if it wasrrt nothing could be done aboutlit.

However. Mr. Abbott had left himself a gap. He had said that,-
