As an extra salctzunrd against inflation und to help finance dc- fence needs. Truman said ”if. will be necessary to make substantial increases in taxes."

He said he will lay a balanced fair tax program before Congress as soon as it can be worked out, with the major aim of eliminating proflteering.

Shlnwcll had declined to give any further information about Britain's defences when question- ed by Brig. Terence Clarke. Con- scrvatlve.

Churchill asked if he would make some answer to this question in I defence debate next week.

Shinwell replied that if there were a debate he would do his best "to satisfy the natural curiosity of Mr. Churchill."

Churchill relort.ed,I amid a burst of opposlticn cheers, "lt is not natural curiosity to try to know

to what extent one's country is being shamefully let down." Bhinwell said Churchill had no

right to make such allegations un- til the government had presented the facts.

Earlier Air Minister Arthuvr Hen- derson told questioner: that radar defences are being modernized and

extended.

It was particularly gratifying, Mr. Lnrabee noted. that despite the heavy catch, prices have been so well maintained.

"From that evidence the r-n-op- erative movement will go places here." he said ”There is a terrific interest in the co-operative method of doing business and the people are only waiting to open the co- operative as soon as they can get the managers”.

Hundreds of people were on hand at the C. N. R. station last evening to welcome home over seventy returning Prince Edward Islanders who had taken advant- age of the "Spud Island Special" which left Edmonton. Alberta, on July 15th.

Rolling into the station right on schedule. the train was met by His Worship Mayor 3. Earle Mac- Donald and Mrs. MacDonald, and City Clerk J. A. Fullerton. The Reece Band was on hand to liven Lip the homecoming. playing such selections as ”There'll Be A Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight". Mayor MacDonald greeted person- ally. as many of the travellers as he could before they were whisk- ed off by friends and relatives, extending to them all a very hearty welcome on behalf of the City of Charlottetown.

Riding down from Borden on the train with them, one was sur- prised to find the listlessness nor- mally expected at the end of such a long trip. entirely absent. Group- ed together in a car which had come all the way from Edmonton. all were eager to meet their vari- nus familics, and yet a little sad to leave other friends made dur- ing the trip.

Entertainment in the form of movies and music had been sup- plied in the two recreation cars on the train, and every moment of the trip had been occupied. The organizers had even served tea and biscuits in the mid-afternoon, and in the evening.

Not a few commented on the beauty of the Island as they view- ed it agaizu some for the-firsuimef in over thirty years; and the red soil brought exclamation: of de- light as they compared it in their
