Bulganin

MOSCOW (AP)—Premier Bul- llnin, in his latest letter to Pres- ldent -Eisenhower, offers to dis- cuss the control of outer space, the Soviet government disclosed Monday.

But the offer is wrapped in a Package, including abolition of nuclear weapons and reduction of armed forces — in a form Previously unacceptable to the United States.

Bulganin also seeks to meet United States objections to an East-West summit conference by Proposing an agenda and accept- Illz preparatory talks through lllllloinatic channels.

B_ulganin’s 17-page letter was delivered Sunday. It was his third '30 Eisenhower since Dec. 10, and Wl§ a reply to one Jan. 12 in which Eisenhower suggested the “tied at this “decisive moment in h‘3I°1‘.Y" for control of outer Space.

The contents were made public ‘l C Press conference by the So- viet foreign ministry spokesman, Leonid F. Ilyichev. The text was broadcast by Moscow Radio.

Coldwell Declares Choice Of Two Worlds Faces Humanity

Civilization stands facing two doors. One leads to war and an- nihilation the other to peace and a better life than we ever kenw before, and back of it all is the development of nuclear energy, suggested M. J. Cold- well, leader of the CCF party for Canada, who spoke to the Canadian Club here last night.

At the conclusion of his fifty- minute speech which was listen- ed to with rapt attention, the distinguished guest speaker was presented with a souvenir gift by Mayor J. D. Stewart who was making his farewell public appearance in his capacity as Mayor. The gift was a large tray of hammered aluminum bearing the City crest.

Mr. Justice George J. Tweedy, president of the Canadian Club presided.

Other head ta-ble guests in- cluded His Hlonour Lieutenant- _Governor T.,..W._,.L. Prowse and Mrs. Prowse, Premier A. W. Miatheson, Mrs. Stewart, Mrs. G. J. Tweedy, Miss Helen Yeo, Miss Mabel Matheson, Miss Lena McLure, Neil A. Matheson.

TWO WORLDS y Civilization, in effect has a

choice between two worlds. said Mr. Coldwell. There is “a world

in which in a generation, two devastating world wars and sev- eral’ smaller ones have been fought”. It is a world “which has seen the mass extermination of millions of people and cruel- ties unimaginable, frightening and degrading.” It “knows hat- red . and bitter seeds‘ of dis- sension.”

But there is another world where men know of their com- mon heritage as one people. Here all men form a single cof-

.munity facing together hunger,

sickness and poverty. It is a world in which fears of atomic destruction can be cleared away by all working together for the purposes of peace.

.The use of nuclear energy for war would mean mass suicide, destroying not only many hun- dreds of millions of peop1e—the Hydrogen bomb at Bikini scat- tered radio active dust over an area five time as large as Prince Edward Island - but it would also destroy the very foundations on which civilization is built, Mr. Coldwell said ‘Another war, he said, would “almost certainly leave the remnants of mankind a frigh- tened disorganized mob of ignor- ance and hate, utterly without

MENTIONS ATOM BAN

Russia, he added, is ready to discuss such problems as the con- trol of intercontinental missiles “if the Western powers show a willingness to come to an_ag1‘e€- ment on prolnbitmg atomic and nuclear weapons and the banning of their tests and the dismantling of military bases on foreign 191'- ritory.” _

“There is no doubt that in such a situation an agreement on the use of outer space only for peace- ful purposes would meet no ob- stacles,” he wrote. . _

Bulganin said the Soviet Union is agreeable to preparing f0_1‘ 3 summit conference through diplo- matic channels but would not agree to a conference of foreign ministers. _

“We are convinced that if we agree on calling such 3 (Summit) conference,” he said. DT00_€d“1‘a1 and other problems relating to the practical implementation of such an agreement could be worked out in ‘our _0PlI110,n ,W1th°“t any great difficulties.

Eisenhower said he was ready to attend such a meeting provided the preparatory talks showed there was good hope of results.

Bulganin in his newest note of fers the following agenda:

1. Immediate suspension of atomic and hydrogen bomb tests.

2. Renunciation by the United States, Britain and Russia of the use of nuclear weapons.

3. Establishment of an atom- free zone in Central Europe.

4. Conclusion of a non-aggres- sion pact between the signatories of the Warsaw and NATO pacts.

5. Reduction of foreign troops in Germany and other European countries.

6. Agreement on the prevention of a sudden attack.

Three Benelux Countries Sign Treaty Monday

THE HAGUE (AP)—The three Benelux countries marked virtua‘ completion of theiraeconomic un

ion Monday with the signing of a treaty in 700-year-old Knights Hall.

The European market Includes France, West Germany and Italy as well as the three Benelux countries and willanotcome into full effect for another 12 or 15 years.

Pair Charged In Fire Murder

QUEBEC (CP) Two men Monday were charged with the m-urder of Joseph-Ignace Paquet, 71, who died in a fire at his sub- urban home last Nov. 5.

Charged and ordered for pre- liminary hearin-g Feb. 18 were Fernand Aube, 29-year-old bar- ber, and Jean-Guy Wagner, 25- year-old truck driver.

» Paquet’s death as ruled acci- dental by a coroner’s jury. Later provincial police exhumbed the body and autopsies disclosed marks of violence. However, po- lice said the evidence was‘insuf- ficient to suspect foul play and their investigation was suspended.

Police said Wagner voluntarily gave himself up Friday and Aube was arrested a short time later.

Police said they believe that Paquet, who operated a store on the ground floor of his home, was beaten and robbed and that his house then was set on fire.

OTTAWA (CP) — Continuation in 1958 of the assistance program for potato growers diverting their product into the manufacture of starch was announced Monday by Agriculture M i n i s t e 1- Douglas Harkness.

He said the federal treasury

cial growers in any province which has starch-manufacturing and whose government is pre- pared -to help run the program. Officials said there are only slight variations from the 1957 program. The announcement set out these terms

“Potato grov. ers who divert Canada No. 1 potatoes, including up to 12 per cent Canada No. 1 small, to starch factories will be guar-anteed an immediate total return of $1.35 per barrel for such potatoes.

“In addition, if the consumer market price remains at or above $1.35 to June 1, those who deliver the appropriate grade of potatoes

an a.dditional 30 cents a barrel if such potatoes are delivered in February, an additional 20 cents a barrel if delivered in March and April and an additional 10 cents a barrel if delivered from May 1 to the termination of the program.

“In establishing this support, it is hoped that by encouraging such a diversion of potatoes to starch, with special incentives to deliver early, the remainder of the pota- toes may be marketed on a sata- factory and orderly basis which will help to maintain prices throughout Canada at or above the current price level during the balance of the marketing sea- son.”

Asked for comment last night, G. Elliott Full said this govern- ment move to subsidize potatoes moving to starch factories would help Prince Edward Island pota- toes indirectly because it would help to drain off New Brunswick potatoes in the Grand Falls area

CHURCHILL, Man. (CP)——Four injured persons, snatched from death in the sub-Arctic by what northern fliers called a miracle. left here Monday night on an RCAF plane for Winnipeg.

_ .The-;.vvAi‘e~ahurled«»£nriL.an single-engined’ bush plane when it cracked up Friday on the unin- habited shore of Hudson Bay, 200 miles below the Arctic Circle. Nearest outpost was Chesterfield Inlet, 18 miles north.

A million-to-one chance brought rescue.

Once a year, Constable Len Mascatto travels up the coast by dog team on a routine patrol vis- iting trading posts and Eskimo igloos. He happened on the scene 30 minutes /after the plane crashed.

Injured were Wiggo Norwang, about 40, Norwegian pilot of the TransAir ski-equipped Norseman; Dr. Jean Charles Patry, about 30, resident physician at Chesterfield Inlet, N.W.T., and two Eskimos, Ayaruak, about 40, and his daugh- ter Annie, 11.

St. “Laurent Is Still Undecided

QUEBEC (CP) —Rt. Hon. Louis St. Laurent, former prime minister, said Monday 2 has not yet decided whether he will seek re-election In the constituency of Quebec East in the March 31 fed- eral election.

Mr. St. Laurent, who celebrated

his 76th birthday here Saturday, declined to say when he is likely to reach a decision.

Mr. St. Laurent has represented Quebec East in the Commons since 1942. Last fall, four months after his Liberal party had been defeated by the Progressive Con- servatives in a general election, Mr. St. Laurent announced he was resigning from the party

A barrell of potatoes contains two and three-quarter bushels so that the government subsidy just announced would mean a guaran- tee of $1.65 a barrel or one cent a pound for potatoes delivered this month to starch factories there provided that the consumer market price remains at or above 51,35 per barrel up to June 1 as specified in the statement by the Federal Agriculture Minister.

At the present time the price for potatoes here runs about 75 cents a bushel to the farmer, Mr. Full observed.

He added that the starch con- tent of potatoes deteriorates as the months advance and this, he observed would explain the rea- son for increasing the subsidy in the months of March and April.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Russia was asked by the White House Monday night for better proof that a summit . eating, urged by Soviet leaders, holds “good hope of advancing the cause of peace and justice.”

The statement described the latest message from Premier Bulganin as “a repetition of So- viet proposals previously made and a negative attitude toward President Eisenliowcr’s eight pro- posals put forward in his letter of Jan. 12."

The statement was not a for- mal reply but an interim com- ment on the U.S. position.

“The Soviet note is being fur- ther considered,” the statement said. ~
