■Dulles asked for American understanding of Asian culture. He
said "they also have tilings to
give."
"There is a need for a new attitude toward .the diversity thai
Asians provide. Differences of race
and cf culture are not measures
of superiority or inferiority. Indeed, uniformity and conformity
are conditions to be abhored.
"There is, of course, no magic
formula for reproducing elsewhere
economic productivity like ours."
Asian leaders understand this
and co not expect American help
"to change their economies overnight," he said. But he said Ihey
do expect to gel on a path toward
improved economic and social con-
ditions. '

'Perched on craggy, snow-clad
cliffs and . reached by winding
roads, the exact location of the
continental defence sites are on the
security list. The vice-regal RCAF
plane passed over the lonely installations by an indirect roule and
the governor-general greeted personnel by radio, stating "greetings
and warmest good wishes to you
all."
A typical reply was: "Good luck
and a -Jine trip.'
Glistening white In brilliant Arctic sunshine, although temperatures were about 20 degrees below
zero, the terrain crossed by Mr.
Massey Friday included wide open
spaces' and 'jumbled mountains,
with cliffs rising sheer as high as

Election Talk In Air
As Budget Is Blasted
Opposition Opens Fire In Commons
OTTAWA (CP) - Eleclion talk
was in the* air Friday as the Commons Opposition parties opened
fire on the new federal budget
with two non-confidence motions
against the  government.
Progressive Conservative .critic
J. M. Mactlonnell termed it "an
empty budget" paving thc way for
big tax cuts just before an election
next year.
He presented a non-confidence
motion saying the budget is
"empty, relative and partisan,"
and shows ho concern about distressed areas in Canada or growing United Slates domination o f
Canadian industry.
CCF Leader Coldwell cven speculated on the election dale—June
17, 1957—and said Uie budget is
designed to mark time until then.
Next year's pre-election budget
would be "very promisin**.''
His parly's want-of - confidence
motion,   amending   the   Conservative one, called for a lax on capital
gains and elimination of the 20-j
pcr-ccnt   lax   credit   for   income'
from Canadian company dividends.'
Present policies continued to favor
"privileged   interests   and    those
wilh   unearned  income."   Il   also,
said the budget "failed" to reduce
sales and income taxes for taxpayers in the lower income group?.
