Economy

LQNDQN- Sept. 10 -(A.P) - Foreign Secretary Bevin suggested tonight that the United States re. vive wartime lease-lend to save the economies of European count- rleg if it doesn't favor his proposal to redistribute Fort Knox gold.

"I do not mind whether it 1a lease-lend or that," Bevin said, re- ferring to the Fort Knox redistrib- ution plan in a speech to visiting American legionalres.

"But all I say ia this-that you can't get settlement in the, world unless we get these economic con- ditions right."

Bevln's comment was his first elucidation of a remark made in his speech to the trades union congress at Southpcrt last week which aroused aharrp reaction in the United States and caused con- siderable confuslon here.

Speaking at a dinner for retiring National Coln-mander Paul Grif- fith ind 135 Legionaires on a tour of American war cemeteries, given by the British Legion. the Foreign Secretary reiterated his belief Brit- aln will pull through her current economic crisis.

“We may be short of what is call- ed the balance cf exchange, but we have character, we have a tradition, we will win through. We won't let you down."

He referred to former- Minister Churchill's aside famous "we will fight on the beaches" broadcast after Dunker- que, when Churchill said "we will fight them with beer bottles, be- cause that is really all we have got."

‘Iibc foreign Secretary continued:

"We ask for no patronage, All we sk for 1a understanding. Britain}: a great bastion in Europe, Western civilization cannot go on if Brit- ain falls, and Britain will not fall."

DEWSBURY, Yorkshire, Eng- land, Sept. 10 -- (Reuters) - Nine members were killed in an explo- sion at the Thornhill pit early to- day and three others still were missing tonight, 1t was officially announced.

Rescue workers, who dug their way through heavy falls. said there was little hope that the trapped mcn would be found alive.

The miners were on their way to the coal face when the blast oc- curred. .

The disaster was the third in British mines within a few weeks. Most recent was in Durham} when 21 men were killed. A month ago 104 miners were killed in an un- dersea mine explosion at Whita- havnn. Camber-had.

were also lost.

The loll. estimated at ap- proximately $10,000, la partially covered by insurance.

The fire originated from sparks emanating from the "mill" which was operating on the ground floor of the 150-foot live-stock barn. The sparks ignited the loose hay rm the floor and the fire, fanned by a stiff breeze blowing through the building, spread with great rapidity.

The Montague Fire Department ran a hose to a small creek about 250 yards distant and drained it in their efforts to extinguish the blaze.

All horses and cattle, with the exception of the five calves were out on pasture else Mr. Annears loss would have been considerably heavier.

Mr. Anrtear's farm is located about three miles from Montague.

Seek Bodies 0f Brew Members

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 10—(.AP)—

Firemen laboriously cut tlvrough the tangled wreckage of the river steamship “Island Queen," dragged tbe Monongahela River bottom,_ and sent, divers into the murky stream today seeking eight crew members mLssing after a terrific explosion and lire destroyed the boat Tuesday. Twelve bodies have been recov- cred, three of them unidentified. ‘Ilhirteen of the 1B injured remain- ed in hospital.

Edward L. Schott, 40. president of the Cincinnati Corporation, which owned the boat, said that 20 crew members were dead or miss- ing. I-Ie previously put the total at 21 but one man, Willi-am Staple- ton, was located at his Newport, lqn, home.

Officials and the United States coast guard began a double-bar- relled investigation of the tragedy which destroyed the $600,000 ex- cursion craft, damaged ,an estim- ated 40 automobiles parked nearby and broke office windows on the fringe of Pittsburgh's "golden tri- angle" business section, No pas- sengers were aboard wlilen the ex- plosion occurred.

Cause of the blast was not known but police said officials learned an acetylene torch was in use at the time of the explosion. The blast ig- nited palnt and 27,000 gallons of fuel oil and the resulting fire cov- ered the five-decked craft from bow to stern within seconds.

In a cabled reply, 1". Gordon Bradley, chairman of the delega- tlonfsaid the delegation was con- forming in every way with instruc- tlcns given them by the conven- tion elected last year to recom- mend future form or forms of government for the commission- controlled island.

"At no time have they exceeded those instructions," said Mr. Brad- ley. “If the discussions appear to be long it is because of the desire of the members to do a thorough

job." The delegation, he said, "will return at the earliest possible

moment after completion of their task."

Bracken Sounds Warning Against Dollar Shortage

OTTAWA, Sept. 10 — (C?) John Bracken, Progressive Con- servative leader, charged tonight that the Government has no policy to meet the crisis arising out of the shortage of American dollars and warned that unless headed off the crisis would bring with it bus- iness stagnation and unemploy- merit.

"Our supply of American dollars will soon be exhausted, and, L‘ in the meantime nothing is done to alter the situation, there will be a crisis in this country,” Mr. Brack- en said. "In our case it will not be a crisis of bread, it will be a crisis of steel, and coal, and oil — a crisis that if not headed off, will bring business stagnation and un- employment in its trail.

"We are dependent on the Un- lied States for approximately B0 per cent of our coaJ, supplies. If this worsening situation is allow- ed to develop. one immediate hardship we will face is that of vital coal supplies.

"As to steel, we are apt to for-

get when we look at our Canadian steel industries, that in many cases they are dependent for os- sential materials on imports fit-om the United states. The simple tact is many of them could not carry on without United states imports." Ho sold Government authorities must now be considering whether they should revaluate the Canadian dollar to its wartime standard of 9o cents United States funds as a means of increasing the flow of American dollar-g in Canadian markets. "Another course suggested, is to borrow a huge sum from the Un- ited Sill-H," he said. "Obviously this at best would be but a atop- gap proposal.

"Another course suggested is to cut down imports from the United States. This course is not without political and economic difficulty. But here again we are left in the dark by the Government."

He said the government did not know what way to turn, because it had no policy. ‘

The huge crowd which attended yesterdays Eastern Kings Ex- hibition at Souria was the largest in many years, Mr. Edwin Reid. president of the Eastern King's lixhlbttion Association, stated last. evening.

Mr. Reid said ha could find no words to adequately describe the women's exhibits of handicraft, cookery. and flowers and would have to content himself by saying that they were "wonderful." Not only was the quality of most of those exhibits higher than in prev- ious years, but the number of en- tries was much greater.

All livestock classes had large entries with the exception of horses. The quality, however, of the horses shown did much to make up for the somewhat smaller list of entries.

The cattle exhibits were the greatest both in numbers and in quality ever shown at Souxls. Mr. Reid had high praise for the dual- purpose Shorthcrns exhibited by lVLr.
