Iceland Makes Protest To Greclt Britain

REYKJAVTK (Reuters) -— lee- land protested to Britain Tuesday that Royal Navy sailors forcibly removed her coastguardmen who, boarded a British trawler fishing illegally inside Iceland’s new L2- mile ocean limit.

The Icelandic coastguardmen went aboard the trawler North- ern Foam and, accompanied by two gu-nboats, were escorting her to port.

‘A boarding party of 14 men from the frigate HMS E-astbourne intercepted the. fishing boat, took control and ’ brought the Iceland- ers from the gunboat Thor back on to the Eastbourne. I

The navy said no resistance was offered by the nine lcelandic sailors. ,

LONDON (Reuters) —Britain Tuesday exploded a- “high-yield nuclear device” high over the dentral Pacific, the ministry of supply announced.

Potato growers of Prince Ed- ward Island who applied for as- sistance under the Agricultural Stabilization Act are still waiting for payments on surplus stock.

The inspection of potato stocks was completed by Fruit and Vegetable inspectors during the first week in August. Some 735 certificates issued by the in- spectorshave been forwarded to Ottawa and a detailed report of the program has been sent by the Potato Marketing Board.

According to the findings, there were at the time of inspection some 3114 pcarloads of bin stock still unsold and 257.8 carloads of graded stock. . $105,000 LIMIT The Federal Government has

for 75 per cent of the bin stock and 36 cents for all the graded stock with the stipulation that

the over-all payment would not"

exceed $105,000.

On the present calculated basis the 314 cars of bin stock would cost the Federal Government $63,607 and the graded stock $69,- 607, or a total of $133,214. At the present time negotiations are gomg on to have the amount rais- ed. This would come only through order-in-council of the Federal Cabinet, “

OTTAWA (om-Pimled mem- bers of the Commons public ac- counts committee Tuesday got a new estimate of what the federal pointing bureau cost—$12,173,014— an estimate that conflicted with the previous tigure‘olf $16,200,000 given by Works department oili- cials. _ 3 And they also were given a hint that the month-long investigation into printing bureau costs may not be completed before the cur- rent session of Parliament ends, perhaps this Week. .

The new cost estimate came from Montreal architect Ernest Conmier who testified before the committee that his figure, linked with cost rises and construction changes. came to $12,244,818, just $71,000 higher than what he said was the actual cost of $12,173,014.

“The public works department never "had an estimate as close as this,” he said with some eu- thusiaam. But Richard A. Bell (PlC ‘— C'arleton) expressed sur- prise at these new figures, main- taining that Mr. Cormier previ- ously had told the oommitteehe

by Lionel Chevrier (Ir—Montreal Laurier), said this was not so. He merely had told the committee he did not have’the figures before him but would get them from his Montreal office.

(The published recon-d ‘ com-

mittee evidence backed Mr. 3011‘s mier. .Committee members Tuesday privately expressed puzzlement at Mr. Cormier’s new figure, re~ calling that the works depart- ment estimated the co st at $16,200,000.

A department official later said outside the committee that of the $16,200,000, about $1,200,000 cov- ered land costs. He could find no way of relating the remaining $15,000,000 with Mr. Oommier’s $12,173,014. Department ofifizcials. also had testified that back in 1.948 the department roughly es- timated the cost at $6,000,000.

Tuesday’s committee meeting, unlike some previous ones, was relatively quiet with ‘virtually no outbursts ‘or crossfire. Chairman Alan Malenauvghton (L—Montreal Mount. Royal) said he had drafted an “interim” report for the com-

supported by the CCT‘, Tuesday mounted a sharp attackyon the government’s l e g i s l a ti o n] to tighten anti-dumping laws, but initial attempts to kill the bill were beaten, down by the heavy Progressive Conserviative major— gcy en a Commons vote of 120 to

3. .

Opposition Le a der Pearson, leading the attack, charged the bill would turn over to the cab- inet some of Parliament's tradi- tional powers on taxes and tar- iffs. ‘He said the measure, estab- lishing a new basis ‘for levying import duties, would restrict trade, threaten imports from Brit- ain and invite other countries to retaliate against Canada.

llf the measure was planned principally ,to aid Canada’s pri~ marry textile industry, then the government should consider pro- viding the industry with direct aid or take the “normal democratic method” of asking Parliament to increase tariffs, rather than try to “by-pass Parliament.”

Mr. Pearson's motion to kill the

bill was introduced as the Com- mons debated second reading- approual in principle — of the measure. Justice Minister Fulton tried to block introduction of the motion but alter a procedural wrangle Speaker Roland Miche- ner sided with the ppposi-tion. At the night sitting, a second attempt to. kill the bill was made by George Mcllraith (L—Ottawa West) but it also was defeated by the" government majority, 1117 to 35. The CCF voted with the Lib- erals.

Mr. Mollraith’s attempt, to de- feat the bill was made on the ground that its proposals are ffrepuunontuto the spirit joetives"‘of‘ the obligaticns of Canada under GATT.” (the General Agreement on Tariffs. and Trade). ,~ Mr. Fulton tried to have the motion declared out of order, on the that it introduced a new,ma:tter,' but Mr. Michener ruled the amendment was rele- vant to the debate.

Earlier, the speaker declared out of order another motion by Lucien Cardin (L—RichelieurVer- cheres) that called on the Com- mons to declare its adherence to Canada’s obligations under GATT. .

uL-ruvmn MEASURE As the attack continued, CC‘Fl House Leader Ilazen Argue said the measure was illutimed, com- ing on the eve of the Common- wealth Trade and Economic Con.- ference opening at Montreal Sept. 15. It would erect new barriers dam-aging, Canada’s vital export trade. '- , .

Alexis Caron (L — Hull) sug- gested that neither Revenue Min- ister Nowlan nor Finance Minis- ter Fleming was particularly en- thused about the bill but that Prime Minister Diefenbnker in-

Liberal until 1928, had become loo-percent Tory." ' The bill, introduced by Mr. Nowlan, would allow the govern- ment to impose dumping duties if it concluded that the price of an imported article did not cover what might be consideerd a “tea sonable” amount for profit.

At present, duties are imposed on the “fair nlarket price," the
