peace.”

He gave no indication of intent- ion to call Parliament at this time

The Prime Minister left shortly after the four-hour cabinet session to renew his holiday for another two weeks on the at. Lawrence river at St. Patrice. Que.

In his 650-word statement. he called the Communist aggression in Korea "a breach in the outer do-V fences of the free world" and said "the nations of the free world must examine urgently and care- fully where each can make its weight most effectively felt in the over-all defence pattern."

He said cabinet gave i'full and earnest." study to the call of Trygve Lie. U. N. secretary-geneb oi. for further milituy aid in Korea but that the study also em- braced Canada'a "other interests and responsibilities." It had con- sulted Canada's military chiefs as well as American civil and milit- ary authorities.

Vvhat he went on to lay. later elaboirated by officials. added up to s'

Korea

Air transport for the Korean war "is an immediate need" one of two regular R. C. A. I". t. , .. squadrons will go "at once" to serve in the Pacific air lift. The North stars flown by No. 4.26, commanded by Wing Cmdr. C. H, Musselis. 1!). of Montreal, can carry six tons apiece. The squad- ron has about 300 men. air and ground crew. It will have to estab- lish its own supply bases across the Pacific from San Francisco via Hawaii and Wake Island to Japan.

The planes will come under American command but will have their own ground crew.

Mr. St. Laurent placed no final bar against dispatch of ground troops to Korea when he said that "having in mind the other oblig- ations for the employment of Can adian ground forces. the cabinet has reached the conclusion that the dispatch. at this stage. of ex- isting first line elements of the army to Korea would not be war- ranted."

He added:

"Should a decision be taken by the Security Council of the U. N. to recruit an international force for service. under the U. N. command- er, in Korea. the Canadian Gov- ernment -will give immedi to con- sideration to Canadian participat- ion in such an undertaking."

Any such step would require ap- proval by parliament on.the basis of his pre-prorogation statement.

The two contributions, naval and air. will raise Canada's man-power for Korea to about 1.000.

Forces

The existing manpower ceinng of 50.464 is being lifted to undisclosed heights.

No mention was made of the number of men to be sought but officials said the army would be after 3,000 to-1.000, the navy less than 1.000, the air force 2.000 to 3.- 00:). Total present strength is about 47.000 including 9.300 in the navy, 20.400 in the army and 17,300 in the air force.

Lowering of the present tough admission standards is being con- sidered.

Navy

"To be prepared for other eventuallties, including the require- ments for supporting the ships now in the Far East. authority has been given for the navy to place ad- ditional ships in commission to bring others up to full complement and to recruit whatever additional men are needed."

The manpower on all commiss- ioned navy ships will be brought up to full complement. They now are at peacetime training compie. ments. This means that a destroy- er now has about 215 men but. will be brought up to around 280, This

has already been done for the three destroyers heading for Korea.

Four warships will be brought out of reserve. This step will in- crease the home force and make ships ready to replace the three in the Pacific after a certain per- iod of time. Naval sources said it might take from two to six months to get enough men and to make the other arrangements to put these ships into service.

The monthly production rate of the two new fighter planes will be doubled. This went hasten the start of big production but will double it, once started next year.

Army

To strengthen the army "to meet future requirements" cabinet hut authorized recruiting above present ceiling! "Ind the acceler- ation of other aspects of the army program.”

Units of the airborne brigade. Including two armored regiments will be brought up to full strength This is something beyond 5.000

men.

An anti-air-croft artillery unit that now is only a training unit also will be brought up to unit op- erational strength.

Taxes

would the current tense infer- natlonal situation continue. or worsen. cursing s. rcsultantlncresse in Canada's defence spending. it will probably mean an increase in taxes.

The increased costs could be met In these ways: Higher taxes; cutting down the activities of other departments; or deficit financin by means of loans. - Finance Minister Abbott tried without too much success this spring to reduce departmental es- timates and the government is known to be anxious to avoid any return to deficit financing. par-

ticularly during the present level of comparatively high general economic prosperity. This would

leave an increase in taxes as the most likely form of meeting in- creased defence costs.

However. any proposals to in- crease taxes probably will not be considered much before the budget is brought down in 1901.
