MILLION
Returns For 1st Quarter
According to the latest official statement on the Colony's revenue and expenditure, published in today's Gazotte, approxi- matoly 30 percent of the estimated revenue for the year was accumulated during the first three months.
If the succeeding quarters produce an equivalent amount of re- venue, the total for the year should exceed the estimates by $50 million.
Expenditure for the first quarters of the year was also less than
rate that estimated, and if spending continues at the same
for the re- mainder of the fiscal year, expenditure should total some $20 million less than the estimates.

The Consequences Are Clear
CTIVE intervention by Chinese
ACTIVE intervention is one of the
most deplorable developments of the conflict in Korea. More than any- thing else it brands the Peking regime as tools of the Kremlin, for the Chinese have no reason or excuse for sending their forces across the Man- churian frontier into North Korea. Korca never has been, nor can it ever become, a threat to Chinese territory, and Peking's action in throwing in her troops against the United Nations can mean but one thing-that Mao Tse- tung is obeying the dictates of Soviet Russin Peking can derive nothing from this ill-conceived enterprise but critical world reaction and increased suspicion of the ability of the Chinese. Communist government to take its place in the counella of the United Nations. Peking is now directing two campaigns; one against Tibet, the other against the combined UN and South Korean forces. In so doing, the Péking regime is a violator of national boundaries and a transgressor against the accepted tenets guarding the integrity and security of a coun- try. The moves, both against Tibet.. and Korea appear to be calculated, and therefore seemingly the Poking government has also taken into con- mideration:= `tho probablo consequences of those two actions. Only from Soviet Russia will they, in fact, can they evoke any sympathy and support. To the rest of the world these enterprises men are anathema and must arouse con- **siderable : resentmont.

nations which hitherto have been will- ing to support Red China's application for UN membership to continue to make that support available when the Chinese government's own actions deny its qualifications for membership. Britain, for example, has already ex- tended de jure recognition of the Peking regime, but that does not imposs recognition and approval of the Peking government's policies and acti- vities in international affairs.
