Touch Off Chain Reaction

ST. STEPHEN, NB. (OF) —- The possibith of a succession of business casualties in the Mar- itimes was indicated Wednesday if a proposed move to Central Canada by Acadia-Atlantic Sugar Regincries of Saint John actually takes place.

First of three businesses to comment was Ganong Brothers Candy Company Limited were. President R. Whidden Ganong said such a move by the Saint John refinery would make his company’s position untenable.

Mr. Ganong said if the refinery moved Maritime users would face the prospect of paying at least a cent more a pound for sugar to cover freight charges from Mont- real.

The plant’s payroll varies with the seasons but it normally em- ploys 400 to 500 people. The com- pany declined to disclose the amount of sugar used annually.

Atlantic president Alex B. Hill said in a recent statement the present ocean freight rate struc- ture and proposed construction of oil unloading facilities close to the sugar plant might make the move necessary.

He said this would reduce the Saint John operation to a “faint shadow” of what it now is and “wash out for all time" the pos- sibility of ever reopening a long dormant plant owned by the com-

pany in Halifax. . MOIR’S ALSO CONCERNE

Mr. Ganong, who is also chair- man of an Atlantic Provinces-

Economic Council fact - finding-

committee set up to study the re finery’s situation, said Muir’s Chocolates of Halifax is also con- cerned and, will send representa- tion to a meeting of the APEC committee in Saint John next week. No date is yet set for the mee“ g.

In Halifax, Moirs sales mane ager J. Desrosiers endorsed the views of Mr. Ganong but declined further comment. He said his company would be represented at the APEC committee meeting.

An APEC spokesman in Hali- fax said the committee had writ- ten Mr. Hill asking ifsthere was any way of helping the company meet its problems.

In Sussex, NE. a spokesman for Sussex Ginger Ale Company Limited said his company VOL" also be affected, but he could not comment further. The soft drink company, with plants in Sussex, Fredericton and Halifax, uses ap- proximately 1,500,000 pounds of sugar“ 3 year.

Spokesman for all three tom- panys indicated that if the re- finery moves, it might be neces- sary for them to go where sugar would be available at reasonable

cost.

Improved Farm " Year

OTTAWA (CP) — A better all- around year for Canadian agri- culture in 1958 was forecast Wed- nesday by‘Agriculture Minister Harkness. ‘

He pointed to higher grain ex- ports, larger cattle marketmgs a!

. home and abroad, higher farm

cash i n c o m e and relatively steady costs of production.

Mr. Harkness said in a. state- ment opening Commons study of his departmental estimates that Canada is regaining Its world grain markets and is the only one among the “big four”-—the United States, Argentina, Australia and Canada, — to increase its wheat marketings this year.

Dealing with livestock market- ings, Mr. Harkness said domestic consumption is higher and that exports of live cattle had jumped 20 per cent in the first ,quarter of the year.

Soviets Claim Could Launch Space Ship \

This speed theoretically would enable a rocket to escape the pull of the earth’s gravity.

EDMONTON (OP) —- With its first national office less than a month old, the Canadian Federa— tion of Business and Professional Women’s Clubs Wednesday took first steps toward preparing for a permanent Ottawa headquar- ters. _ I

The federation’s four-day, 400- delegate convention, now in its second day, supported finance chairman Norma Tissot’s recom- mendation that estimates for re- serve funds include some money: for the" federation’s own head- quarters. ’

Earlier this month, an Ottawa office with Mrs Eileen William- son of Toronto as executive-sec- retary was opened.

Miss Tissot, from Flin Flon, Man, told delegates the 1000-- member federation should “look ahead to sometime having a build- ing of our own.”

that the federation’s national magazine -— now publishing six times a year—and other club de- partments would. need to be housed close to the national of- fice.

OTTAWA (OP) —- Canada ap- peared to have won a point Wed- nesday in seeking concessions from the United States on China trade but there were conflicting views as to the meaning of the agreement reached between Pres- ident Eisenhower and Prime Min- ister. Diefenbaker.

Briefing officers said the two countries have agreed that where there are conflicting Canada~U.S laws on exports—land there are in the case of trade with Commu- nist China—the two governments would. seek “satisfactory solu- tions to concrete problems as they arise."

White House press secretary James Hagerty said this meant that if, for example, Canada had a complaint, it would 'consult with the U.S. and some form of solu- tion would be sought.

However, James Nelson, the prime minister’s press secretary, read a statement by Finance Min- ister Fleming saying the intention of the agreement was that only Canadian law would apply on per- sons and corporations doing busi- ness in Canada and seeking to ex- port goods to Red China.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) —A mighty Thor rocket wi‘h a live mouse in its nose cone blasted off Wednesday on what could be the first intercontinental flight of a U.S. ballistic weapon.

Fifteen minutes after the rocket left the earth, the air force an- nounced that instruments .cated it "performed satisfac- torily" in-its flight into space.

The two-stage vehicle—a stan- dard Thor missile topped by a radically modified second stage of the Vanguard satellite rocket awas aimed at an impact area 6,000 miles down the South Atlan- tic test range.

The air force hoped that a secret, highly‘ - advanced nose cone atop the rocket would shoot through space at intercontinental range and velocity, then survive the red-hot plunge back into the earth’s atmosphere.

An attempt will be made to re- cover the cone and its tiny rider -—alive. .

So far, U.S. rocket experts have been unable tobreak through the intercontinental barrier with a ballistic Weapon.

The Snark, a jet - propelled craft, has travelled 6,000 miles but not through space. And it moves only 600 miles an hour— a snail’s pace in comparison with the blazing speed of the ballistic missiles.

Friction between the two coun- tries arose following approaches by the Chinese to the Ford Motor Company of Canada to "ind out whether that company would sell China 1,000 automobiles. The sub- sidiary conferred with its Amer- ican parent company and was told it could not sell these cars. This led to protests to the Americans by Canadian govern- ment officials. The matter was broached initially at Tuesday’s opening talks between Mr. Dief- enbaker and Mr. Eisenhower and was discussed in detail in a meeting this afternoon among U.S. State Secretary Dulles and five Canadian ministers: Ex— ternal Affairs Minister Smifh, Mr. Fleming, A g r i c ulture Minister Harkness, Trade Minister Chur- chill and Defence Production Min- ister O’Hurley.

Canadian and American report- ers suggested the statement was confusing.

The U.S. had not gone “quite that far,” said Mr. Hagerty. What the U.S. and Canadian gov- ernments had agreed was to “talk it out."

Mr. Nelson then read a state- ment by Mr; Fleming saying the intention was that Canadian law —and Canadian law alone — would prevail over persons and corporations carrying on business in Canada.

Reporters said the statements appeared to be conzradictory and confusing. Mr. Hagerty disagreed. He maintained it was clear ‘hat the two governments had agreed to consult on the matter. The agency under which consultations would be held had not been deter- mined.
