slon to U. N. A few hours after he spoke officials said "we are in the process of conferring now."

Hope For speedy End

Mr. Pearson himself voiced I general official hope that the Korean war will come to a swift conclusion. a hope backed by a growing belief that Russia won't take up arms in support or North Korea.

This gbelicf was underlined by plans to proroguo Parliament to- morrow and by word that Prime Minister St. Laurent intends to

head for his summer cottage In Quebec Friday. Informed quarters said any

Canadian intervention would have the primarily political motive of a show of U. N. solidarity in the face of aggression. From a strictly military sta dpoint Canada's aid could hardly be of great import in a local war in which both the U. S. and Britain are participat-

lng.

Canada, it was indicated. is ready t9 meet any reasonable re- quest for aid. and dispatch of nav- al ships was mentioned as pro- bably the most logical move in such circumstances.

Her traditional policy is not to force herself into such a situation

'merely as a flag-waving gesture.

she is quite ready. however if the Security Council or in effect the U. 5., wishes it so. to take part.

Core or Statement

The core of Mr. Pearson's Com- ons statement was the fact that he signified Canada's willingness to help but voiced ,a hope that the war will soon be over. - ..

'anothI.-rx-angle External

WPYOM um Affairs officials said Diand'”'Wil-'

gress, Canada's High Commission- er in London, will confer with other Comma wcnith mPl'959Mi' tives tomorrow in a "frank dis- cussion of Commonwealth policy on Korea."

They indicated the conference will seek to iron out existing dif- ferences of opinion and to reach commo . ground.

It was apparent that the Can- adian Government holds hope that the conflict will be brought to a conclusion before the question of Canadian intervention has to be finally tackled.

If Canada did intervene, it would be an historical peacetime move. Korea's distance made it appear that any such action would logically involve naval ships or R. C. A. F. planes, transport or combat.

Cabinet Ministers met twice during the day and considered Korea both times. The first was a meeting of Prime Minister st. Laurent. Trade Minister Howe. Mr. Pearson and Defence Minister claxton. The second was the re- gular daily meeting.

First Bastian Reaction To New ll. S. Policy

By EDDY GILMORE

MOSCOW, June 28-(AP)- Pravda. the .Communlst Party paper. charged today that the Un- ited States "has undertaken a direct act of aggression" against Northern Korea and Communist China.

In a front-page editorial. it said President Truman's order sending ships and planes to help western. recognized Southern Korea and to Formosa was ”evldence that the American ruling circles no longer confine themselves to the prepa- rations for aggression, but have zone over to direct acts of ag- gression."

Then it inquired:

"Have they not, however. gone too far?"

It gave no answer to tho quas- lion.

The U. S. Embassy announced that a note from Washington ask- ing the Soviet Union to use its in- fluence to bring about withdrawal of the invading Communist forces from South Korea was delivered Tuesday. No reaction was made public.

Pravda's editorial was the first public Russian comment on the new U. S. policy in the Pacific strife. Western diplomats thought it highly significant that Pravda's reaction came so swiftly. Normal- ly, it takes several days.

"The American Government. with its characteristic unceremonious- ness as regards international law. is grossly trampling on the United Nations c rter. acting as though the Unite Nations organization

did not exist at all," the Pravda .

editorial said.

See No Sign Russia T 0 Start Hot War In Europe

FRANKFURT. Germany. June lb-(AP)-The best available mil- itary information here indicates that Russia has no intention of turning the cold war into a hot one in Europe-at least for the present.

This information says there are no signs of unusual military activ- lty inside the iron curtain any- where from the Baltic Sea to Bulgaria.

European satellites appear to be preparing for an open Communist drive into Western Europe to match the Red invasion of South- ern Korea.

Yugoslavia and Western Ger- many are considered to be the most likely targets for any con-

templated communist push west. but the current general picture shows no evidence of increased military activity or undue stockpil- ing of supplies along the borders of those areas.

some troop movements in- volving both Russian and last German formations have been detected in the soviet none of Germany in recent weeks. But these are believed to be reg- ular seasonal manosuyars and ex- ercisos.

The Russians are rushing con- struction of military airports in a chain spanning last Germany from north to south. This is in- terpreted officially as part of the Rusai.a.n plan to bolster the entire Soviet-controlled perimeter in Europe. rather than a prepar- ation for an early at&.

British Navy In FarEasi To Aid Souihiiorea

LONDON. June I-(CP)-Brih ish naval forces in the Far East were ordered today to take part in the defence of South Korea against Communist invasion from the nor h.

Prime Minister Attlee told a cheering House of Commons that naval units in Japanese waters have been ,' T "at the ” , ' of the United state: authorities on behalf of the Security Council in support of South Korea."

The action. be said. was taken as a result of the resolution which the U. N. Security Council passed yesterday "calling on all members of the United Nations to furnish assistance to the Republic of Ko- rea." -

His statement won instant ap- proval from Conservative leader Winston Churchill. who said: "The Prime Minister speaks for all par- ties when he makes this announce- moat.

"We shall do our boat to give him any support he needs in what

locusts to me an inescapable dui.y.""

OTTAWA, June 28-(Special)- Reiteratlng a protest of prev- ious years. W. Chester S. McLure, Progressive C ...tIve member for Queen's charged the Trans- port Depariment with faulty ac- counting in listing operational costs of the ferries "Abegweit" and "Prince Edward" as a deficit. He made the protest today on transport estimates.

"I tried to point out to the Minister on several occasions." Mr. McLure said. "the difference between deficit and service. and this time I shall direct my re- marks to his two officials In or- der that they may grasp the idea. The Government owns the Abeg- weit and the Prince Edward. which are sub-let to the Cana- dian Nstionai Railways who oper- ate them in fulfilment of a con- tract entered into with the Prov- ince of Prince Edward Island in 1873.

"Why should this be shown as a deficit. when it really rep- resents a service that is bclnl given? If there is a shortage as between the Government and the subcontractors. it should not ap- pear against Prince Edward Is- land as a deficit. I cannot under- stand why the Government por- sisls in showing it in this way. If the officials will look up the meanlng of deficit and Iorvlce, I think they will realize that it should not appear as a deficit. As long as it does appear in this way. 1 shall bring It in the al- tentlon of the Minister."

Transport Minister Chevrier. who has argued the deficit issue with the Queen's member on sev- eral ' ' " d to be drawn into another exchange on the issue.

Questions In Eskimo

Prince Edward Island shipping was again drawn to the attention of the Commons during the day when Gordon Higgins. Progressive Cinaervative member for St. John's East asked for details of the operation of the S. S. Eskimo. owned by the P. E. I. Govern- merit.

Situation I e c o in e 5 Grave As Seoul falls To Invaders.

TOKYO. June 29-(Tburada.y)- (AP)- Gen. MacArthur flew to south Korea today as North Kur- ean Communist troops slashed deeper into the invaded republic from captured Seoul.

The commander of American forces In the far east took off to "see for myself" a war situation grown suddenly so grave that authoritative sources in Japan said some United states combat troops had been placed on the alert.

A spokesman for the Korean mission here said the Reds were driving southeastward from Seoul along the road to Taegue, in air miles to the south.

He did not pinpoint the northcrners' deepest penetrat- ion, but said heaviest fighting was between Seoul and Suwon. 20 miles to the south. The South Korean army was forc- ed out of Seoul yesterday after a fierce mauling by a heavy force of Russian-made tanks. It was learned authoritatively

that the deteriorating military situation may force the United States to commit ground troops if South Korea is to be saved from the Reds.

But thus far no combat troops have been sent to South Korea.

Units of the United States air force are in action again today against the invaders. and the ships of the United States navy have been assigned to undisclosed mis- sions at sea.

The Korean ission spokesman said the southern Government had been set up at Taejon, 90 miles south of Seoul and about half way down the southern half of the peninsula.

Meanwhile. the North Koreans announced plans to move their capital to Seoul. A in adcast by the Poyongyang radio stsidthe con- stitution of the Red regime names Seoul as the "captiai of unified Korea." It designated Pyongyang as the provisional capital until the

.O1'TAWA. June 38 --(GP) -- A 3 l-2-hour Opposition barrage against Govern-rnent freight-rate policy today closed out the con- troversial issue for another parlia- mentary session.

The perennlal bone of contention sparked a debate that shut off chances of proroguing tonight and brought a. Progressive Conservat- ive motion regarded by the Gov- ernment as involving confidence.

By a margin of 53 to 32, the House defeated the motion by George Drew, Progressive Conser- vative leader, to cut to st the an- nual appropriatlon of 5624.800 for the Board of Transport commiss- ioners, which regulates freight rates. - Mr. Draw made his motion dur- ing an earlier freight-rate debate on June 2. and at the time Trans- port Mlnister Chevrier said it would be taken by the Government as a vote of confidence.

The vote was on straight party lines except for two members of the c.c.1r.-clam Gillis (Cape Breton South) and Joseph Nqse- worthy (York south)-who oppos- ed the Draw amendment.

In the earlier debate, Mr. Giliis had moved an amendment to out the appropriation by just ti. ex- plaining that he wanted to protest the Board's handling of freight rates but did not want it elimin- ated. His motion was ruled out of order today on the ground it did

.n0t involve a. "substantial" reduct-

ion. Highlights of Debate

In the freight-rate debate, mem- bers of the three Opposition part- ies protested ”discriminations" in the rate structure against the non- central arr-as of the country. There were these statements:

1- Solon how. social Credit lead- er. said the Government should use Treasury funds to equalize the burden of rates If no other way could be found. lie called for changes in railway legislation to wipe out disc-riminations, and sug- gested principles of the Maritime Freight Rates Act of 1927 could
