To finance this construction. the government would recommend to the next session of Parliament that an additional loan be made to the CBC. Sites for the new sta- tions would depend on the re- commendation of television ex- perts.

He said that because television will in its initial stages cover only part of Canada the govern- ment feels its costs should not be financed out of general revenue.

"National television services should be paid for by those who receive their benefits, not by the people at large," he said.

The question of how to levy payment for these services was "still under consideration" and

there will be no additional licens- ing fees for private TV receivers at least until the end of the fiscal year, next April 30.

The Prime Minister said the part to be played by privately- owiied stations "ln extending na- tional televlsion services” in Can- ada is being actively considered by the government.

The Prime Minister. Mrs. st. Laurent and other members of the party were met at the Cana- dian Paclflc Railway station by Mayor Fred Hume, Senator S. S. McKcen and civic and provincial dignitaries.

"Good morning. sir, good morn- ing," were the Prime Minister's first words to the mayor as he stepped from the train. Soon Mr. St. Laurent was sporting a rose in his lapel. 3 "Vancouver rose" presented by the mayor.

Dam Has-Been Blamed For High Water Tttnible

0'l'l'AWA. Sept. 3-(CPI--The controversial gilt dam in the St. Lawrence River--blamed by some for high-water trouble on the Great Lakes-will be removed by the Canadialf Government when the lnternation joint commislon approves the power phase on the St. Lawrence seaway project.

Removal of the dam likely will start late next spring if the com- mission gives its approval to the bigger project in time, informed sources here indicate today.

Announcement that the govern- ment has decided conditionally to meet demands for removal of the darn was made today at Albany, N. Y.. by a Canadian spokesman

before the commission in its senway hearings.

David W. lllundcll. Canadian counsel to the l..l.C.. said the government has agreed to re- move the dam as soon as river conditions permit following ap- proval of the seaway-power up- plicatlon by the I.J.C.

In Ottawa, Transport Minister Chevricr confirmed this govern- ment decision.

The 900-foot. dam. located on the river below Prescott. 0nt.. was built by Canada in 1901 to

protcct water levels in the river canal system. It streiches' from Adams Island on the Canadian side to Galop Island on the other side. its construction was auth- orized by an act of congress. Since the damaging rise of lake

water in the last few years. there hnvc been pcrsiseint. de- mands for its elimination, both from the U. S. anti Canadian sides of the boundary. However. the rlnmor has been strongest from the if. S. side.

The view of Canadian and U. S. Government officials has been that lake levels are due chiefly to other causes such ns rainfall. in any case, they hold. the re- mnvnl of the dam would brink lake" levels flown by only about six inches. taking 18 months for this.

A further cause for governmonl reluctance in moving on the dam issue has been the possible dan- gar of transferring some of the, high-water problems to the river areas around Montreal. For that reason. any removal will he in, gradual stages and will have to be timed so that the heavier flowi of St. Lawrence water does noti coincide with the shrink crest oil the Ottawa River emptying into the bigger stream.

Jute is the golden fibre of which giiimy sacks. llneoleiim backing and many other products are made. Pakistan grows a lot of it-pybout 6.000.000 bales a year.

Before the partition of India in 1917. most of this jute went to Calcutta mills for processing. Since the division of the sub-continent, Indiaf has begun growing some jute of her own for the Calcutta mills and Pakistan has been shipping much of her output elsewhere. meantime. threatening to build her own mills.

Control of jute ranks not far be- hind the future of disputed Kash- mir as I cause of tension between India and Pakistan.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 3 ---'AP pstate Secretary Dean Acheson as lsured Premier Mohammad Mossa-i degh of Iran today that there arci no booby traps in the recent Brit-

ish-Amcrican offer to settle the lranian oil deadlock. In a statement, be appealed to

Mossadegh to reconsider his quick rejection of the joint proposal made by President Truman and Britain's Piume Minister Churchill last weciz.

The flow of oil from Iran to the west has been blocked for the last six months by a bitter quarrel be- tween Iranian and British govern- ments over Iran's nationalization of the oil properties.

The Trunian-Churchill offer pro- miscd to recognize Iran's right to nationalize and pledged sl0.000.000 from the U. S. immeidaiely to keep Iran from going bankrupt.

Iran was asked to submit to in- ternational arbitration the my argument over how much should be paid Britain for the oil instal- lations, which are reported valued in the neighborhood of sl.500,000- 000

Britain also promised to buy some 2.000.000 tons of all now stored along the Persian Gulf to rovidc lranls treasury with a, quick profit of- from S30.000.i)O0 to: 040000.000.

Talking to reporters today. Acheson labelled the British- American offer "fair and reason- able" and one with "no string attached.”
