The Provincial Government had sought to have the new highway extended to Siimmcrsidc and Mon- tague, but it now seems probable that these projects would have to be undertaken entirely by the Province.

The route tentatively agreed on was through Crapaud. Bonshaw. Charlottetown, Aiillvieiv and El- don. bill one of the requirements by the Dominion is that vertical and horizontal curves be reduced to a specified minimum. This in-

He was hopeful that some special financial consideration might be oimtained on this project.

The Province is. considering a save year programme of road build ng under the Federal scheme. in which 50 per cent of both roads and bridges will be financed by Ottawa, as well as a proportion of maintenance costs of roads already built.

It is hoped also that a Domin- ion appropriation for ten iti:i.~s of roadway at the National Park will be provided.

The Government had othcr pro- particizlarly with lrllarfl to servicing hlontziiiic and other parts of King's (‘oiiiitv which would not ltenefit directly uii- der the trans-Canada scheme.

Queried with regard to the Brighton bridge. the Premier said this project was still in abcynancc.

Altogether, he calculated that if the Province had to finance all its proposed highways without Fcd- eral aid. it would mean an ex-

penditure of an additional tivo million dollars. A new North River bridge alone will cost in

the vicinity of half a million dol- lars, he said.

It is reported that strong repre- sentations wcre made at tbc_,Lib- oral party caucus for extension of the trans-Canada highway in oth- er directions, but the Federal sti- pulation with regard to a ferry-to- fcri-y route by the most practical direct course was the over-riding consideration.

Atlantic Pact Group Approves Defence Plan

By JOHN SCALI

WASHINGTON. Jan. 0 — (AP) -'l‘he 12 North Atlantic Pact Gov- ernments gave quick and final ap- proval today to their joint de- fence plsn for warding off s pos- sible Russian attack on Western Europe.

This move cleared the. way for President Truman to make avail- able the full $l.000.000,000 Con- greu appropriated last summer i0 rearm U. S. allies.

Congress specified that $900,000,- 000 was to be frozen until the Ai- lsntic Pact Governmenbr satisfied President Truman they have "iri- tegrated" their defences.

Agriculture Official Has Optimistic Outlook

TRURO, N. S., Jan. 6 - (CP) _ Development of the Labrador iron ore fields and opening of new oil fields in Alberta. will tend to in- crease the demand for agricultural products, Dr. W. V, Langley, head of the Nova Scotla Agriculture Department's extension depart- ment. said here today.

He told the department's ex- tension workers these project. would lead lo the development. of new markets. Producers ivould be forced to give greater attention to organized production of quality products in sufficient volume to meet the needs of these markets.

Dr. Langley said the United Kin-gdom markets would be “re- gained in the not; too distant fut- ure." History had shown that the many prophesies about; the ruin of Great Britain had proved un- true, The present "gloomy" prcpli- ets would be "discredited" once Britain "regains some measure of

lIhB economic independence she enjoyed in pre-war days." Turning to problems of Nova

Scotla farmers, he urged them to take steps to hold down costs and produce inure goods for hoine markets. They could do this by making greater use of home-grown feeds and reducing the imports of Western mill and feed grains. Use of grass silage and better grass- land and pasture management, would help.

Greater consumption of home- grown foods would cut down on American imports, especially citrus fruits and vegetables, and con- serve badly-needed United States dollars. More attention would have to be paid to consumer wants, ad-

itlen. ilferar Says 3rd War Real Threat

OTTAWA, Jan. 6 —tGP)-4¢n. I D. G. Crtur said tonight Ge!- many and Japan must be integrat- ed with the Western democracies swiftly and to the maximum.

In that step, he saiil. may lie the only hope the West has of "first holding and then dominating the growing and most serious Ccmmunist threat to peace."

In a blunt and frankly pessi- mistic speocli prepared for delivery to the an-nual conference of De- fence Associations. he singled out the two former enemy powers as the keys to European and Asiatic answers to spreading Commun- ism.

The man who commanded the 1st Canadian Army in Second World War actions in Europe told men who were his senior officers that:

“The reason for this conference. and so for your presence here to- night, is Iiothillg other. er less. than the threat of another great war in which this country will again be fully engaged."

He also said that:

The democratic peoples must not. let emotion over past, wars "blind us to the approach of worse catastrophes which lte ahead."

z. The seeds of another world struggle already had been sown at the end of the Second World War by the Ydlta and Potsdam agreements and a military situation that brought Russia half-way across Europe with her “fundamental antagonism" to democracy.

3. When consideration is given on a global basis “to the over-all potential for war... the democracies are falling be- hind in this desperate race" because of events in Asia.

Gen. Crerar. now retired, said he has never believed there could be real understanding and co- operation between Russia and the democracies.

Soviets Extend Sway

In the last four years. the Sov- iets application of the "theory of permanent ievoliitlon" had ex- tended its sway over six Eurcpean

states and 100,000,000 people in exploitation of the “great op- portunity" provided by ivar-end

agreements and the military situ- ation at the end of hostilities. The Atlantic Pact had improved the European situation but this ‘was a world struggle and the democracies were falling behind. China's Communists had stated their allegiance to Moscow. Red power to foment and successfully support uprisings in Inrlo-China. Burma and Slam "ls virtually un- challenged and unchailengeable."

Limit On Catches Boosts Profits To Fishermen

OTTAWA, Jan. B — (CF) —Tlic long-term profits of commercial fishermen are increased when sizc limits are placed on their catches, the Federal Fisheries Research Board was told today.

Dr. A. W. H. Needler. director of the Fisheries Department's At- lantic Biological Station at Si. Andrews. N.B., said that lobster fishermen in one arca of Cape Breton Island increased their catch by 72 per cent tivo years after the size limit had been ia- creased.

Atlantic lobsters market value. Dr. Needlcr Dr. D. G. Wilder. the station's lobster expert, had been assign- ed to make an extensive study of the fishery.

At Fourchu, N.S., on Cape Bre-

have a high

ton Island, the minimum size limit was increased in 1947 from seven to nine inches. Within two

years. the. average catch per boat had been increased 72 per cent and the average catch per trap in- creased by 66 per cent.

Dr. Neediler estimated that the. area's lobster population was 38 per cent higher.

Earlier. Dr. Necdlcr said there was little prospect of profitable soft-shell clam farming off the east coast because of the low growth-rates of soft-shell clams.

Dr. S, A. ‘Bcatty. director of the Atlantic Fisheries Experimental Station at Halifax, said the station will begin to concentrate on sall- cd instead of fresh fish this year. l't will also study fish-icing techni- nuca on three ilccp-sca vessels dur- in" the summer.

‘For the last few vcars the sta- tion has concentrated on dcvclob- in; wavs of preventing fish from spoiling before they could be enli- ed. canned or frozen. Now it was time to investigate the problems of the salt-fish trade. especially

said. l

since Newfoundland had Canada.

Members of the station's staff this summer will work on three typical fishing vessels to study thr- hcst way of icing fish aboard ship. They will how laboratory techniques can be applied on board fishing ships.
