This was 21 per cent more than 1949 in value and about 15 per cent up in volume. Imports of £2,602,900,000 were £347,900,000 in excess of exports, but the export-ithport deficit was £82, 100,000 less than in 1949. Higher world prices accounted fof part of the jump in value. Exports to Canada in December, 1950, valued at £9,900,000, showed a lower daily rate than October or | November, but equalled the rate of | the third quarter of 1950.

Decides Otherwise By OLEN CLEMENTS Tokyo, Jan. 20--(AP) --Commu- nist forces today hit Allied troops in recaptured Wonju on three sides. Fighting raged inside the key road- rail on the Central Korean front. The Red attack -- perhaps the start of the expected Communist offensive -- flared as Gen. Mac- Arthur arrived in Korea and said: "No one is going to drive us into the sea." "This command intends to main- tain a military position in Korea just as long as the statesmen of the United Nations decide that we should do so," MacArthur told a special press conference. AP Correspondent William * C. Barnard reported the Wonju fight was not a major battle yet. But the attack had the stamp of Commu- nist Chinese and Korean strategy. try to drive on Taegu, keystone of the old Pusan perimeter, turn the flanks and roll Allied forces back * against the east and west coasts, Barnard said Communist. troops in unknown numbérs were on the east and west edges of the rubbled town and strung along the twisted, bombed rail line to the northwest, On the southeast side of Wonju, Communist troops were moving boldly in the hills." In Wonju the Allied troops denied the Communists use of three main roads radiating southwest, south and southeast. Wonju is in the middle of the two Communist build-up sectors. West of the road hub were three Chinese Red armies totalling 90,~ 000 men. Stretched across the mountains to the east were at least six North Korean divisions.

"They are all just alike. .".they believed in the enslavement of the common people," Truman told a "Business Mobilization Dinner" of the Society of Business Magazine Editors. But, he added, "We are going to win." "We are faced with aggression, and we are faced with inflation" but freedom "is going to prevail in the world." | The president has often scored | | as Russia as the fountain of Commune ist ' imperialism, but his prepared comment last night was one of the rare occasions when he has criti= cized Prime Minister Stalin by name. f His denunciation. of Stalin as a dictator recalled that in 1948 Tru- man "referred to the Soviet leader "Old Joe" and 'called him a prisoner of the politburo, Russia's top political 'council. The President's speech came after a day of rapid-fire develop- ments on the U.S. home front. An aroused House of Representatives shouted approval of the 'resolution urging the United Nations to brand China as an aggressor, although some Republicans termed the res solution tantamount to a declara= tion of war on the Chinese Coms munists.
