Britain May Ask Canada To Cut Prices

OTTAWA. Sept. QB -— (CP) ‘The United Kingdom likely will

k Canada to cut prices so Brit- siu may continue large-scale shop- ping in this country next year, it was learned today.

The price cuts will be asked as a means of getting around the lull zo-per-cent slashes in (iollar imports which the UK. and other Commonwealth countries are ex- pected in undertake ._. even with sterling devaluation.‘

It appears, however, that in- stead of Canada agreeing to price snipe right down the whole list of commodities she hopes tn sell Britain in 1960, the UK. may be asked to make selective shopping -buying less of those goods which Canada can sell elsewhere.

These problems of Anglmcnn. ldian trade are helng discussed on a pro-negotiation basis by the continuing committee on trade, meeting in closed sessions here. The sessions are expected to fin. ish tomorrow.

Tho officials, which include Max Mackenzie, CanadasDeputy Min. later of ‘Irade, and Sir Alexander Ciutteruck, United Kingdom High C issioner to Canada, arc be. iieved to be studying expected Canadian shipments overseas o1 food. lumber and metal products.

ST. JOHN'S, Nfld., Sept, 26 ... (CP)——Pi-emier Joseph Smallwood told Newfoundlandcrs today a highway will be built across the Island between St. John's and the ferry terminus of Port Aux Bas- ques.

He did not say when the pro. lent would be started but in- dicated it would be in his pre- sent term of office or sometime during the next four years, No cost was given.

The Premier made the an- nouncement after his return from Ottawa. He also said 500 slum divPliilll-Zs in this Capital will be replaced through a Dominion- Provincial scheme costing $2,. 500.000.

Third point in his statement was "a large prollram" of secondary road construction and he said the job would be done by shovel-and- pick-ivielding Newfoundlandcrs — not by machinery — to relieve un- employment.

Money For Wages

He commented: “If $l,000,0CJ were spent by the new method no more than $300,000 would go into the men's pockets and only a small number would be employ- ed."

By ihe old method of picks. shovels and wheelbarrow: “at least $800,000 would go into the men's pockets rather than to road machinery-makers in Michigan, Pennsylvania and New York.“

The trans-Island highway will be a ZO-foot-wide asphalt ribbon o-unning through some. of the wildest country on the Island. Its length would probably be about 400 miles through an area where there now are few roads. Travel- lers going from mainland Canada to St. John's now must either fly or take ihe 550-mile rail trip north from Port Aux Basques and across Central Newfoundland. The highway could either be built along the south coast or in a di- rect line between St. John’: and Port aux Basques.

The slum-clearance program calls for a general sprucing up of the Capital's slum area as well as replacement of undesirable dwellings. The Federal Govern- ment will pay 75 per cent of the cost of acquiring and servicing the land and construction of new

Import Restrictions Off Fresh F ruits,Vegetables

OTTAWA, Sept. 26 - (C?) - Canada will open the door next Saturday to unrestricted importa- tion of fresh fruits and vegetables, Finance Minister Abbott sano " today in the Commons. Restric- tions first were imposed about two years ago. ,

The move, resulting from re- cent meneiary talks in Washing- ton. will pave the way for im- mediate shipment into Canada of United States pears, grapes, cran- berries, green beans, beets, cauli- flower and sweet potatoes.

An official of the Canadian Fruit Wholesalers Association said these new items likely will cost Canada about 08,500,000 a year.

Because of Canadian-dollar de- valuation, the Canadian eon- sui-ner will pay about i0 per cent more for the products than Am- erielna.

The official said lifting of im-

port restrictions will mean little

increase in Canadian purchases of American citrus fruits and vege- tables now entering on a quota

system. Shipments of oranges, grape- fruit, lemons, limes, tomatoes.

cabbage, spinach and lettuce ap- pear to be sufficient to meet Can- adian demand.

A Governmpit official said lifting of the controls resulted from pressure brdhght on U. S. Government quarters by Cali- fornia fruit growers.

Under agreements reached at the monetary talks, the U8. was al- lowed to use $175,000,000 in Mer- sheil sid to purchase Canadian wheat. Canada was reported to have agreed to review import restrictions on fresh fruits and vegetables.

In his announcement, Mr. Abbott said he wee hopeful that “in due course" other restrictions on Un- ited imports "can be relaxed and

removed.”

Police-Believe Paralytic

Bomb Use-d Murder Plot

By GUY GAGNON

QUEBEC, SeiJi. 26 — (CP) - Provincial Police tonight kept "close watch" over a 47-year-old paralytic, said to be s wizard with his hands and believed to be the maker of the-bomb which blast- ed a twin-engined Canadian Paci- fic Airlines plane Sept. 9, killing 19 passengers and four crew mem- bers.

Police were tighelipped over details of their investigation, but sources close to investigators said the grey-haired watch expert “would be the logical maker of the bomb." _

A square-faced, grey-eyed man. paralyzed from the waist down, his only pastime for years has been to work with tiny, complicat- ed mechanisms.

Iie is known to be an old friend of J. Albert Guay, 32-year-old Quebec Jeweller charged with mur- der of his wife Rita by blowing up the DC-3 at Snult au Cochon, shortly after it leftlQuebec on n regular flight to Baie Comeau.

Guay Declared Sane

Today, Guay underwent a medi- cal examination at Provincial Po- lice headquarters and police said he had been declared of sound mind.

Police now are holding Guey in Police cells on s verbal remand until he appears in court tomor- row.

Police would not confirm nor deny rumors that two other ar- rests are “imminent". But they denied flatly a report that Guay tried to commit suicide. They said his cell was well-guarded and that any suicide attempt "is an impossibility,"

Says Atomic Control Proposals ilypocritical

By NORMAN ALTSTEDTER NEW YORK, Sept. 26 _-_ (GP)- LB. Pearson of Canada bluntly ac- cused Russia today of a new, ag- gressive imperialism which threat- ens the world. , Canada's External Affairs Min- ister sdded, however, there is ev- idence that the new imperialism will not survive because of its own internal weaknesses and contra- dictions. l-fe delivered one of his direct attacks on Soviet policy during the general debate of the United Nations fourth assembly, Outlining the problems of inter- national control of atomic weap- ons, which has become a prime concern of the assembly, Pearson said Russia's proposals for such control are "hypocritical and meaningless" if the Soviet Union continues to insist on national sovereignty in atomic questions. Foreign Secretary Bevin or Brit- ain and Foreign Minister Edward Lardelj of Yugoslavia also blasted Russia. as lmperialistic. The latter accused Russia o! making warlike threats against Yugoslavia while professing peace-loving intentions. Bevin made clear that Britain will not support prohibition of at- omic weapons until Russia agrees to an adequate system of inspec- tion which would prevent secret manufacture of atomic bombs.

He described as “stupid” the Russian charge that the Western Powers have prevented prohibi- tion of atomic weapons.

Bevin proposed uiai, Russia sub- mit her quarrel with Yugoslavia to the U.N.

He said the Western Powers are fully aware of Russian intentions to use its agents and the Comin- form to upset the economy and political economy of every West- ern Power. ‘

Bevin added, however, that he would welcome an exchange of views in a spirit of reasonableness and compromise if that was what Foreign Minister Vishinsky of Russia was driving at when he called for a settlement of differ- ences by mutual discussion,

Pearson told the assembly the

world watches the new Russian imperialism with so much concern "partly because of its aggressive interference in the affairs in other states, partly because of its inher- ent instability." "There are already evidences that because of its own internal weaknesses and contradictions, it will not survive," he added. He held out the hope that a more lust relationship between the states affected by Soviet imperial- ism may come about as it changes. The Canadian Minister's 3,000- word address was interrupted by applause when he turned to the subject of international control of atomic weapons.

Halifax Considers

HALIFAX, Sept. 26 —— (CP) - _Ciiy Council tonight waded into a voluminous report recommend- ing a tax on certain retail sales within the city but postponed further discussion until next Mon- day.

Food -— excluding confectionery trade tools and implements pur- chased by fishermen and farmers; items costing less than l0 cents; prescription drugs; amusement tickets such as those to theatres and coal and firewood in certain quantities would be among items exempt from the levy. Mayor Gordon S. Kinley told tonight's meeting: “Every 511858!- iion, whether on the proposed plan or on some feasible means of in- creasing the city's revenue or de- creasing the tax rate, will be given consideration."

OTTAWA, -Sept. 26 — (GP) The Defence Department was urg- ed today to take steps. to block a huge gap in Pacific Coast cle- fences stretching from the United States border to the Aleutians,

May-Gen. GR. Pearkes (PC - Nanaimo) said in the Commons Throne-Speech debate that Can- ada is vulnerable to attack throughout the whole length of her British Columbiif coast. '

He pressed for a series of moves to tighten defences along this coast, bringing them in lino with what the United States has done. They are;

1. Establishment of an auxiliary squadron of the R.C.A.‘E‘. in Brit- ish Columbia.

2. Provision of an aircraft ear- rier to patrol the Pacific coast as the Magnificent covers the Atlan- tic coast.

3. Establishment of proper de- fence ground units at the airfield

BERLIN, Sept. 26 — (AP) German scientists are producing for Russia trans-ocean rockets they designed for Hitler before the war ended, Soviet-zone in- formants claimed today,

The informants, said the mam- moth underground munitions plant st Peenemuende, on the Bal- tic coast, is turning out rockets st full speed.

Allied intelligence officers said they know of "certain activity" st Peenemuende, but declined to elaborate.

At the end of the war the Al- lies agreed that Germany's war potential should be destroyed.

The new rocket, said the Ger- man informants, was dubbed “Fire Lily" by the Nazis, who never had a chance to use it. ,

Its range and accuracy are enough, the report slid. to hit a iangct 5,000 miles sway.

Earlier today both Allied and German sources confirmed that Russia had installed a chain of rocket-launching platforms in Eastern Europe, stretching from the Baltic to the Black Sea.
