Denounces Spirit 0f Intolerance At Synod Opening

A strong plea for the substitution of Olzristian love for intolerance

and party strife, In religious sf- fairs as well as in political and economic matters, was made in

St. James Church here last even- ing by the Rev, D.W. MacDonald, of Mahone Bay, N.S., retiring Moderator of the Maritime Synod of the Presbyterian Church i/n Can- ada.

Rev. Mr. MacDonald spoke at the opening session of the Synod before a very large and representative audience. -

Taking for his text I Corinthians 16: 13-14, the Moderator emphasiz- ed that uhe Iwords "Let all thing be cone from love" governed and qualified tlhe other admonltions. Paul had founded the church at Corinth dunng his first visit to Europe. The church was composed of many and diverse races and cultures with a free-thinking a-nd speculative Greek background. ' preach the gospel there was both a. test of and a challenge to his belief in the finality and universal- ity of the ChrLstlan religion.

But after the departure of Paul. the Corinthian Christians began to divide into groups am: parties insisting upon this and that doct- rlnc, they quarreled among them- selves. and in this dlvlslon reveal- ed themselves as strangely blind to the fundamental principle o.‘ love.

In his first letter Paul showed that party divisions should be transcended by a common z loyalty to Christ. The cause of the trouble at Corinth was that the Christians (Continued on Page 5 Col. 5)

LONDON, O:t. ‘l-—(CP)—Prime Minister Attlee, in defiance of ex- treme left-wing pressure, removed Emanuel Shlnwell from the Min- ‘stry of Fuel, accepted the resig- nations of five other senior min- isters and promoted five lesser ministers or secretaries In a wholesale Cabinet and Govern- ment shuflfle announced tonight.

Shinwell. 63, sharp-tongued chairman of the Labor Party and pilot of Britainls coal nationaliz- ation scheme, becomes War Min- later under A. V. Alexander who retains his post as DelencelMln- ister with control over all three branches of the country's armed forces. Hugh Gaitskell, 41, suc- ceeds shlnwell.

Most criticized of all the Minis- ters because of last winter's fuel crisis in Britain and because of his already over - optimistic speeches, Shinwell assumes s post which involves his removal from the Cablnetr-reduced from l9 to 18 members-though he still holds cabinet rank and salary.

Dismal Picture

(By The Associated Press)

LONDON, Oct. 'l-The Foreign Office said today that Europe's Communist leadership has offic- ially revived the Comlntem and said the step represents "a clear deterioration of the international situation."

The Foreign Ofllce confirmed at

accepted Nov. 25 as the date for the Big Four Foreign Ministers to resume their work on peace treat- ies for Germany and Austria-a task already complicated by mounting dlfierences between Rus- sla and the Western powers.

The acceptance was interpreted here as evidence of Russian will- ingness to negotiate with the Western powers on the treaties. and provided a ray of hope in an otherwise dismal picture. The Un- ited States and France earlier in- dicated willingness to accept the Nov. 25 date, proposed by Britain.

The Russians also agreed" on Nov. 6 as the meeting date for the Deputy Foreign Ministers who will draw up the agenda for the Nov. 25 session,

British policy makers studied for 24 hours before issuing their assessment of the Communist do. claratlon attacking "Anglo-Ameri- can imperialism" and announcing the creation of an “information bureau" in Yugoslavia to co- ordinate activities of Communists in nine countries of Europe, in- eluding Italy and France.

A Foreign Office spokesman said the Communist move was "the official resuscitation of the Com- Intern.“ the organizatlon founded by Lenin in i919 to rally the work- ers of the world under the red banner of revolution.

It was dissolved officially in I943 in Moscow. and Prime Minister Stalin at the time said the decis- ion heralded an era of greater co-operation between the forces united in opposition to the Hitler- led axis.

The Foreign Office spokesman noted the presence at the secret meeting in Poland. where tho Communist plan was drawn, of A. A. Zdhanov and G. M. Malen- kov. both members of the Soviet Politburo, the guiding hand q! Russia's conununlst Party.

Bracken demanded tonight that Prime Minister Mackenzie King call Parliament into special ses- sion immediately. The national leader of the Pro- gressive Conservative party. open- ing a three-day speaking tour in the York-Sunbury federal by- election. set for Oct. 20. declared mtion must be taken without de- lay to solve “the rising cost of living and high taxes and the rapidly developing trade crisis.“

Immediate action also was nec- essary to consider the Govern- ment's (union: foundland.

“The mounting cost of living which 1s effecting every Canadian ls. in large part. clue to the con- tinued maintenance of taxation in this country on a totally unjusti- fiable scale." said Mr. Bracken. The Government had refused his demands for reductions in in- come and "invisible" taxes al- though revenues to the end of September were about $500,000,000 more than expenditures. The av- erage family of four and a half persons had had its cost of living increased by $100 in the last six months, and at the same taxrates for the next six months each family would have been overtaxed by S360.

"The Progressive Conservative party maintains that this over- taxation — this unnecessary taxat- 1on—bears unjustly upon those Canadians who can least afford it. because they are the ones who pay most of it in the form of in- visible and nuisance taxes-taxes which increase their cost of living tremendously.
