Korean War And Its Effect On Taxation And Cost Of Living
No provision for expenditure on military training had been made by the Labour Government, said Mr E. B. Gordon, M.P. for Rangitikei, in an address to members of the Rangitikei branch of the National Party at Feilding this week. He said the Government had balanced the Budget despite the fact that the war in Korea and the compulsory military training scheme were costing £15,500,000. This, said Mr Gordon, was one of the reasons why the cost of living and taxation had not been reduced this year. Although the end of the war in Korea was not in sight, it was hoped that, its duration would be short-lived.
